These templates generate entire pages. They also frequently declare a Cargo table (in the template page itself, via noinclude) and populate it with data (when invoked, via includeonly) so one can later query the info defined through uses of the template.

See e.g. how Template:WeaponPage declares Special:CargoTables/weapons and populates it with data, and how Template:WeaponTypePage then uses a Cargo query to auto-generate a table of weapons of the given type. (Also, Template:WeaponTypePage declares Special:CargoTables/weapon_types but that one isn't actually queried anywhere as of the day I'm writing this.)
