Master Template Warning

[Mutt]

I often accidentally edit a master template instead of the default template. as you know, this is an issue because now you can't revert back to the original. To avoid it from happening, I made this small admin template edit. (this is so minor, I'm not even sure why i'm posting it. I didn't even bother w/ a phrase or CSS.)

NOTE: you need to be in debug mode to edit admin templates

in Admin Template / template_edit

just above

<xen:require css="template_edit.css" />

add

<xen:if is="{$template.style_id} == 0"><font size="5" color="red"><b>WARNING: THIS IS A MASTER TEMPLATE!!</b></font></xen:if>

as you know, this is an issue because now you can't revert back to the original.

I mistakenly edited the master templates, how do I restore them or rebuild the master data without doing a re-installation?
Navigate to the install path, for example http://www.example.com/forum/install/ and click on Rebuild Master Data.
