# Breaking: #63056 - Remove Template Selection Hack

See [forge#63056](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/63056)

## Description

There has been an ancient hack for the former "freesite" extension, which enabled selection
of the template via GET variable.
This technique is outdated and has been removed.

## Impact

Any extension using this hack will not be able to select the template this way anymore.

## Affected installations

Installations with third party extensions using the hack.

## Migration

No migration path intended.
