Template documentationedit documentation

This template is the most general databox on Appropedia. Most pages should use this template, usually near the bottom of the page. It's meant to hold structured data about the page, such as its language, year of creation, main authors, license, keywords and more.

The template processes the information entered in various ways, such as setting semantic properties and automatic categorization. So for example, if you enter the keyword "garden", the template will not only display it, but also categorize the page in the Category:Gardening and set the value "garden" for the Property:Keywords.

This is a complex and advanced template used throughout the entire site. It's therefore protected to prevent vandalism and accidental mistakes.
