Unfortunately it is not possible to change the site template after you create the site. In some cases you can manually change things to make something look like something else, but the underlying site will still be based off of the original site template.
If you chose a Document Center and don't like it and want to switch to a Team Site template you will ...

Open you Team Site in SharePoint Designer 2013.

On your site, view the source of the start page (ctrl + U) and search for JavaScript variable g_wsaSiteTemplateId.
You'll get the Template ID like this

The message means that you (or somebody else with permission) have made customizations on the page which deviates from the page template. This is a state of the page called un-ghosted.
If you don't want these customizations, simply click the link "Revert to template" and the page will go back to use its template (ghosted).
If you simply want to remove the ...

You can export the template however you must manually modify the exported WSP for it to import properly.
Or as Microsoft says, it isn't supported, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2492356.

Web Template:
Web template refers to new feature element available in SharePoint
2010, which provides us flexible way to define definition (onet.xml
file), which will be used only on provisioning time, when the site is
created. There are no references to the definition on runtime, which
provide easy maintainability for the definition.

Just a try : replace the Lookup Column definition with this one :
<Field ID="{2FF1B484-6D70-449c-8E5C-904E4D5971E1}"

Group="Intranet Columns"

to do this in chrome: go to the home page (or any page really) of the sub site you want to check. open the Chrome menu and select More Tools > Developer Tools. View the page source and do a ctrl+f and search for "var g_wsaSiteTemplateId". This will give you a value like = STS#0 or something like that. That value tells you what the site template was.

You can use Site Provisioning with PnP PowerShell. It gives you more control over what to include/exclude and automate the creation process if this is repetitive tasks.

Are you running SharePoint 2010? If so, you can include your scripts using a feature: it is now possible to have a CustomAction with ScriptLink as a location. This will leave the masterpage unmodified while at the same time making jQuery (and any other scripts you need) available across the entire site collection. More information is in Deploying and Using ...

You can find the correct template and use it in code like this (templateName is the title of your saved template, locale is the locale ID of the template):
// Find correct template

This issue most frequently occurs because
the Community Sites or the SharePoint Server Publishing feature is currently enabled or was previously enabled for the affected site.
Also, in SharePoint Online, if you disabled scripting capabilities for the affected site in Center Admin, this also removes the Save site as template option

Yes, you can create a new site from the current customized site through Save Site as Template option in your Site Setting.

A site template is like a blueprint for the site. Creating a site template allows you to capture ...

By default, if you enabled the SharePoint publishing feature in root site, then there is no “save the site as template” option in site settings.
There is a workaround.
You could save the site as template in the site which is enabled SharePoint publishing feature the by accessing the URL below.
https://yourtenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/rootsite/subsite/...

It really depends what page you are talking about (master page, .aspx page, etc.), but you can add your script references in a Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) if you don't want to customize your pages.

Credit to KolbyH at the MSDN forums for pointing me in the right direction here. There is some sort of weird master page setup in the Search Center, but you can get around this without too much trouble:
Create the Search Center
Open the Search Center in SharePoint designer, go to Master Pages and open "minimal.master"
Add the following code to the page, ...

I haven't tested this, but I would think you can add it with a javascript maybe. You already have the _spPageContextInfo on your sites.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href=\"'+_spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl+'/page.aspx\">link</a>');
</script>
That's just an example, probably not the best way to add js ...

As each my "mysite" is a new site collection using a Microsoft Site Definition, there is no no-code solution for automatically adding web parts to a page. (Well there is one no-code solution: Someone could sit in central administration add refresh the list of "mysites" and when he sees a new one he could log in and add the web parts, but I think that after a ...

rjcup,
Your client is likely not the right entity to ask what solution is best. If you're the developer, then you should know best and if your client doesn't trust your judgement, then your client has a problem much greater than how to get something done. If that client knows more about SharePoint than you do, then you have a quite different problem as well....

If your final goal is migration to SharePoint Online (SPOL) you definately need to think this into your branding approach.
WebTemplates were our choice for SharePoint 2010 on-premises solutions, since they have a much better upgrade story than custom site definitions. We have also long ago dropped the declarative approach for other artifacts and for ...

If you are using the Publishing site template then this option will not be available. Also if you have a team site with Publishing feature activate on it then this options will disappear.
Another thing, Save as Template option is not supported for publishing sites even if you are able to save it.
You can hack the url and directly go to this URL http://...

Your templates from SharePoint 2010 will not work on SharePoint 2016. You must create a new template from the source (List/Library/Site) which you can then use for deployment of new assets.

There are some ways to do this with custom content types, possibly even building on the Discussion Boards that are out of the box in SharePoint, but if you are looking for something that might be able to be implemented quickly I would look at the SharePoint Forums from Lightning Tools. http://lightningtools.com/

There are no official statements on the structure in the WSP's generated from saving a site as template and it is for sure not a template that you should reuse or build on. IMO it's a really messy export that is hard to understand and maintain. (Some sources says it's a best practice to work on the exported WSP, but it definatley is not!)
I do recommend ...

There are (at least) three ways of achieving this in SharePoint 2010.
1) Custom Site Definition. They are hard-core and somewhat old-school, and require access to the file system. Generally we try to avoid these nowadays, other than as a simple one to be used for feature stapling.
2) Site Template. Now a realistic option because of the new Web Template ...
