First, consider the case of a category called $category. Everything in this category is a template which requires another template to work. On its own, no template in this category does anything. But if the template gets changed, it will have a knock-on effect for other templates, which themselves might be transcluded on other pages. So we definitely want to protect these templates from harm. They're the building blocks of our wiki! Here's how you do it.
