Thx; this clarifies...

I understand and more or less expected that they are called from Java-
actions.
But since these are from a custom-skin, maybe copied from a original
skin (I think it was Toucan)
and modyfied for customization purposes, I would like to understand
from what actions they are called
With that knowlegde I could import them into XWIKI (as advised by
XWIKI.COM guys)
Is there a convenient "search" to find the code that is referencing
these velocity-templates?

Our site is hosted at XWIKI.com. For the improvement/required changes
process it is not convenient to send
files to the hosting organisation (the system managers). I would like
to limit the number of files on the filesystem that are customized for
our specific application to a bare minimum! If the files are IN Xwiki,
we can modify them if we need to do so...
