Near Complete List of SharePoint List Types and Templates (a.k.a. List Definitions)

[Darian Glover]

While working on a publishing site collection on SharePoint 2016 I needed to perform operations on all publishing pages within the collection. Publishing page lists (libraries) are different from basic libraries given all the publishing features they are tied to.

To identify which libraries were publishing page libraries my code needed to check to see what Base Template the list used. I found that many references to the template IDs neglected to include IDs for publishing page libraries and other lists like the user information list.

Below is a compilation of what I was able to find. I suspect SharePoint Online has added a few more, please add any you know of to the comments.

SP.BaseType

-1	none	No base type specified.
0	Custom List	Does not match a known type.

@Darian Glover  Thanks for providing the detail information template Id and NAme for all lists and libraries.  

I am facing an issue for  template id : 443 for reportLibrary .  Using Graph API  i am trying to create a report Library below is the request sent

{
"displayName": "GraphAPI_Report",
"description": "Description for GraphAPI",
"list": {
"contentTypesEnabled": true,
"hidden": false,
"template": "reportLibrary"
}
}

and the response what received is invalid request

{

  "error": {

    "code": "invalidRequest",

    "message": "One of the provided arguments is not acceptable.",

    "innerError": {

      "request-id": "d5a1f652-a96c-49e4-ab1b-84568bc6871b",

      "date": "2020-03-19T07:40:54"

    }

  }

}

But for other templates, I am not observing this issue. Please help me out where I went wrong.
