Since a solid row of stones of the same color acts pretty much like an edge, all edge templates can also be used as interior templates. Such templates typically do not usually have their own name, but are named after the corresponding edge template. For example, here is an interior [[ziggurat]]:

<hexboard size="4x4"
 +
  coords="hide"
 +
  contents="R c1 a4 b4 c4 E *:a3 b2 b3 c2 c3 d1 d2 d3"
 +
  />

To simulate an edge, it is not actually necessary to have a solid row of stones; it is sufficient that each cell on "row 1" of the edge is adjacent to a connected red stone. For example, the following is another variant of an interior ziggurat:
 +
<hexboard size="5x4"
 +
  coords="hide"
 +
  contents="R c1 a4 b5 c4 E *:a3 b2 b3 c2 c3 d1 d2 d3 a5 b4"
 +
  />

One can construct a virtually unlimited number of templates this way. Here is an example of an interior [[Edge template IV2a|IV-2-a]] attached to a [[trapezoid]]:

<hexboard size="7x5"

  coords="hide"

The parallelogram is actually an interior [[Edge template III2a|III-2-a]], and the span is actually an interior [[Edge template III2a|III-2-b]].

This page lists some interior templates. In each case, the carrier of the template is indicated by cells marked "*".

2- and 3-stone templates

The bridge:

The wheel:

Named 4-stone templates

These templates are grouped by the size and shape of their carrier.

The mouth or trapezoid:

The crescent:

The span:

The parallelogram:

The box:

The diamond:

Unnamed 4-stone templates

These are templates that have not yet been given a name.

Proposed name: The open box. This template has the same carrier as the box, and differs from it only in that the "lid" of the box is open:

Proposed name: The scooter:

Proposed name: The bicycle:

Proposed name: The hammock.

This template is a variation of the diamond that only guarantees a connection between the two stones marked "1". It does not guarantee all 4 stones to be connected:
11

Proposed name: The long parallelogram:

Interior templates from edge templates

Since a solid row of stones of the same color acts pretty much like an edge, all edge templates can also be used as interior templates. Such templates typically do not usually have their own name, but are named after the corresponding edge template. For example, here is an interior ziggurat:

To simulate an edge, it is not actually necessary to have a solid row of stones; it is sufficient that each cell on "row 1" of the edge is adjacent to a connected red stone. For example, the following is another variant of an interior ziggurat:

One can construct a virtually unlimited number of templates this way. Here is an example of an interior IV-2-a attached to a trapezoid:

The parallelogram is actually an interior III-2-a, and the span is actually an interior III-2-b.
