Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.So, is there a benefit to having a region-name.tpl.php file as opposed to wrapping the region in page.tpl.php?
I notice Zen has the footer and sidebar with their own region templates, but the header, for example, doesn't have one.
If I add my own regions, for example, Search, what would warrant me to give it a region template?

johnalbinThe best use-case for a region template is when you want to use it for multiple regions. Otherwise a specific region template for a specific region is identical to just wrapping that region in page.tpl.
