Master Pages
There are many master pages available in SharePoint Foundation Server 2010. SharePoint provides a variety of master pages1. v4.master
2. default.master
3. minimal.master
4. simple.master
5. MWSDefaultv4.master
6. nightandday.master
The v4.master is the default master page for most non-publishing sites in SharePoint 2010. It is also the default system master page in both SharePoint Foundation and SharePoint Server.
The v4.master page is included in every site in both SharePoint Foundation and SharePoint Server 2010. It can be used with publishing sites and non-publishing sites. You learned earlier that master pages contain HTML, CSS, SharePoint controls, and ContentPlaceholder controls.
The default.master page in SharePoint 2010 should look familiar to you if you worked with SharePoint 2007.
The minimal.master page is best suited for pages with minimal branding and navigation. The minimal.master is used with search pages and Office web applications. Because this master page does not include the ribbon or navigation, you should use it for pages that require a lot of real estate.
The simple.master is the master page used for error and login pages. It lives in the fi le system and is not available in the master page gallery. If you are creating a custom login or error page, you will want to use the simple.master page.
The MWSDefaultv4.master is found in the master page gallery of meeting workspace sites. It is almost identical to the v4.master with the exception of a couple of content placeholders such as the MeetingNavigator.
The nightandday.master page, is only available in SharePoint Server 2010. It contains controls specialized for publishing web content management.
