Hence, instead of using these templates, I recommend you to use ‘Custom List’ template available in SharePoint 2013 and later to maintain a few look and feel elements of the old site templates. Some of the list templates available in SharePoint 2007 (pertaining to ‘Meeting Workspace’) such as ‘Agenda’, ‘Objectives’, ‘Attendees’ etc… are also discontinued in SharePoint 2013 and later.

You will not get the look and feel associated with the discontinued site templates in SharePoint 2013 and later. Microsoft recommends ‘Team site’ template as an alternative for this template too.

Other collaboration features exist in SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013: Lync to conduct live meetings, OneNote to take notes during meetings, and SharePoint team site or My Site to store shared meeting notes. This template is very similar to the ‘Team Site’ and hence ‘Team Site’ is a perfect alternative. This scenario of collaborating on a document is already covered by the Team Site template. Discontinued site templates Document work space / Blank Site / Group Work / Personalization Site Template In this article, I would like to focus on few of the discontinued templates (both site and list), since these templates are more common and used by majority of SharePoint 2007 / 2010 users. The following Microsoft link contains an overview of the discontinued / modified templates and features in SharePoint 2013 and above. Microsoft discontinued quite a few site and list templates available in SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 from SharePoint 2013 version onward.
