<@U06V253M4> how does one go about registering or requesting a new type in ForgeBox. I've built some  CFWheels templates (skeletons) and would like to change their type from "mvc" to "CFWheels Templates" or "CFWheels Skeletons". Is this possible?

<@UCQKW8QGY> Some package types have semantic meaning that changes how they install.  In fact, custom CommandBox modules can intercept installation of certain package types to override how they work such as enforcing conventions like where they install to.

Other than that, the package type names are just window dressing

We use the generic `mvc` type for our ColdBox templates since the type doesn't matter much there, but I see we did adda  "Preside Skeletons" category for the Pixl8 team

So I don't see why we couldn't one for CFWheels templates

There isn't an official process outside of you telling me what you want it being called, and I put it into our DB :slightly_smiling_face:

A type has two parts
• slug (no spaces, etc)
• name (human readable)
And you just match the slug in the `type` property of your `box.json`

And historically, we've used the plural form of the word.  i.e module*s*, demo*s*, engine*s*, etc

LOL, lets use cfwheels-templates as the slug and CFWheels Templates as the name.

It's funny-- preside used "skeltons".  In ColdBox, we used "templates" in the repo names, but the `coldbox create app` command uses `skeleton` as the param name

Nothing beats consistency, huh?  :laughing:

As soon as you publish your first one, it should show up there
