Why "Site Pages" list/library inside classic sites is different that the one used for modern sites

Steel Contributor

Inside modern site or classic team sites we have the option to create modern pages, which will get stored inside the built-in "Site Pages" list/library.

but i have checked the templates used inside the classic and inside the modern sites, where i found that different template (icons for the "Site Pages") will be used, inside classic sites we got this :-

classic.png

 

while inside the modern sites we got this:-

modern.png

 

so does this have any differences on the modern pages which will get created inside classic and modern sites?

AFAIK, there is not any difference on the Site Pages no matter if you are in the classic or in the modern experience....the difference you can find is related to the kind of pages you can create

thanks for the reply.. but can you explain your point what do you exactly mean by is related to the kind of pages you can create?


@john john In classic team sites the default page type is wiki page not modern page ("site page")
