This category exists more or less to demonstrate that there should be no templates for the preloadable format system included in any category. In other words, '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is here to be empty.
[[Tardis:Preloadable formats]]
 
If the preload templates are placed in a category, then any page which uses that preloadable format will ''also'' be in that category. The preloadable format system dumps the ''entirety'' of a file onto a new page, including any <nowiki><noinclude> and <includeonly></nowiki> statements. To put it simply, it ''includes'' things you're trying to <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>.
 
Fortunately, finding the preloadable templates doesn't require a category. They all ''must'' follow a strict nomenclature. If you look at the dropdown menu containing the various preloadable formats, you effectively ''have'' a list of the template pages. Simply take the names offered there, and add "/preload" to them.
 
So, if you're looking for the '''comic story''' preload, it's at [[:template:comic story/preload]]. The '''character''' preload is at [[:template:character/preload]]. And so on.
 
Even though we can't use this page as a true category page, we can kinda "trick" our way into a list of all preloads:
 
<dpl>
titleregexp=.*/preload
columns=3
shownamespace=false
</dpl>
 
For more information on this system, please consult [[Tardis:Preloadable formats]].
