Hiding Site Template(s) while creating new Site/Sub Site

Some times, there is a requirement to make invisible specific site templates to Site Collection Administrators so they cannot create sites for those templates. To do so, open respective webtemp.xml file in your XML editor and change  Hidden="FALSE" to “TRUE”. Path of webtemp.xml files is C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\1033\XML.
These templates are available in Collaboration category in MOSS 2007.
Template1
If, I want to give option only to create Wiki Sites, then I will make changes in webtemp.xml for Collaboration Category.
Temp2
Temp3
Do an IISRESET and create a new site. You will only see WIKI Site option under Collaboration Category.
Temp4
