Templates are stored in the database. The template files in
/usr/local/slash/themes/slashcode/templates
are file-based entries of those self-same templates. Initially, when you load a
slash-site, the install-slashsite tool will load the database with the
templates of the theme you select.

You should check out bin/template-tool. It was created with this exact purpose
in mind. It can extract templates to a file for ease of editing (you therefore
don't need to use the admin interface). Have CLI? Will travel. You can then use
the template-tool to reload any template files into the database.

Of course, this means that the short answer to your last question is: Yes.

If you need more information on this issue, please let us know.
