Hi Tobias

If your template has a renderType=stk, it complies to the availability 
restraints of the standard templating kit. Have a look at your site definition 
> templates > availability and there you have the fully qualified class name 
for the class that defines this availability behavior ( 
info.magnolia.module.templatingkit.sites.TemplateAvailability )

This class defines that templates with renderType stk have to be:
* in the availability > templates (it’s a populated map)
* has a category

The categories define on which level the templates appear (top level only 
“home” and “functional” for example)

renderType=freemarker has no such availability restriction and hence appears on 
every level and in every site tree.

Why you don’t inherit this from an extended stk template also makes sense, 
because you could possible create your own templating kit for example and use 
pages 1 and 3 in your inTERnet site and page 2 from your kit on your inTRAnet 
site. Like that you can add a module for multiple sites, but restrict the pages 
themselves only to where they are allowed to be added.

Even if you are dealing with a community edition at the moment, the material on 
the multisite module 
(http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Multisite), which is 
enterprise only, might help you understand why this is like that.

Hope that helps
Natascha
