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, Preload templates is here to be empty.

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 <noinclude> and <includeonly> statements. To put it simply, it includes things you're trying to <noinclude>.

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.

For more information on this system, please consult help:preloadable formats.
