A template is a predefined page that can be used as a prototype when creating new pages. Templates are useful for giving pages a common style or format. See Working with Templates.
Administrators can import templates, to make them available to other people using Confluence. See Importing Templates.
Confluence also provides 'system templates' which contain default content for the site welcome message (see Editing the Site Welcome Message) and default space content (see Customising Default Space Content).
