+'''Category: Boilerplate''' — the {{tag|templates}} contained in this [[Special:Categories|category]] below are '''boilerplates''' for specific {{tag|WikiIndex}} '{{tag|Infobox template|infoboxes}}'.  These [[Special:Templates|templates]] are created for simplicity, so that you merely 'copy and paste' their content into the new [[article]] you are creating, or to help with any existing article in need of improvement or updating.

+Boilerplates contain the skeleton of the specific infobox [[template]] to which they refer to.  They also contain specimen or typical detail required for each individual field within the infobox.  Many boilerplates also contain 'hidden' [[:Category:Help|help]] text to both act as an aid to the correct formatting of the required information, along with pointers to other pages where to find more in-depth help on the requirements of each individual field.  Finally, some boilerplates may also contain further additional help required to complete the remainder of the article, specifically its {{Cambridge-Dictionary|prose}} description and other sections of an article outside the scope of the actual infobox template.
