This template is used on formatting subpages to provide a very basic, standardized documentation of their purpose. It also automatically categorizes the page accordingly.
This aims at addressing the common misunderstanding of especially newer editors considering a page with no visible output unnecessary and unused.
Usage[]
{{ formatting subpage | onlybox = y | <partial customization of doc text> | nocat = y }}
