You can easily make a template “hidden” by adding a period before the name. This comes in handy if you use embeds that you don’t want accessed via the standard template group/template route. For example by default you can access the following file:
http://domainname.com/index.php/embeds/masthead
If you don’t want this to be accessible via the browser URI you can rename “masthead” to “.masthead” then when this URL is accessed:
http://domainname.com/index.php/embeds/.masthead
The site 404 template (established under Templates > Template Preferences) will be displayed.
