Missing ASP.NET 5 Templates

Question

I am following this setup tutorial

https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/tutorials/your-first-aspnet-application.html#create-a-new-asp-net-5-project

And have come across a problem. In the tutorial the instructions are as follows:

Start Visual Studio 2015. From the File menu, select New > Project.

Select the ASP.NET Web Application project template. It appears under Installed > Templates > Visual C# > Web. Name the project ContosoBooks and click OK.

This is fine, but in the next step :

In the New ASP.NET Project dialog, select Web Application under ASP.NET 5 Preview Templates. Also, make sure the Host in the cloud checkbox is not selected and click OK.

I am seeing no ASP.NET 5 Preview templates!

The only thing I am noticing is that my Authentication states No Authentication but I am signed in so I am not sure what this means or whether or not this is a factor.

The version I have installed of Visual Studio is "Community 2015".

I have already gone through the perquisites as outlined in This Article.

I am hoping that someone with a more thorough knowledge on the topic can help me out as I have not been able to find any threads etc. of the same issue or what could be causing the Templates to be missing.

Asp.net 5 templates no longer exist - they are renamed to Asp.net Core: ASP.NET 5 is dead - Introducing ASP.NET Core 1.0 and .NET Core 1.0

So, when creating your project, instead of picking "ASP.NET Web Application" as it is in the video - you would select "ASP.NET Core Web Application" and then on the next page those 3 templates (Empty, Web API, Web Application) are the same as the video's asp.net 5 preview templates
