Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.
Note that the template_variables:
section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults
work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

* **File-Specific Template Variables** are variables available specifically for this Kometa Defaults file.
* **Shared Template Variables** are additional variables shared across the Kometa Defaults.

collection_files:
- default: continent
template_variables:
use_other: false #(1)!

2. Do not create a "Continent Collections" separator
3. Set the [Color Style](#color-style)
4. Exclude "Europe" from the list of collections that are created
Default Values
Unless you customize them as described above, these collections use default lists and searches to create the collections.
If you are interested in customizing the default values, you can find that information here.
