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.

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>.
