};
if (templateFeatureId.HasValue)
{
    lci.TemplateFeatureId = templateFeatureId.Value;
}
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(urlPath))
{
    lci.Url = urlPath;
}

List newList = listCol.Add(lci);

if (enableVersioning)
{
    newList.EnableVersioning = true;
    if (templateType == (int)ListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary)
    {
        newList.EnableMinorVersions = true;
    }
