This is the "Plugin Sidebar" template.

If you have come here looking to edit the page for a particular instrument, you took a wrong turn – please do not edit this template.

This template is for generic plug-in modules. We have specialized templates Template:TM500 and Template:TM5000 for the respective plug-in series. Where applicable, please use these specialized templates instead.

This template should be invoked in the following format:	Example:

manufacturer= should be a page name, series= should be a page name (of the series or model this plug-in is compatible with), designers= a semicolon-delimited list of page names.

This template adds [[Category:Introduced in (year)]] to the article. If the introduction or discontinuation year is unknown, please use (?) in its place, e.g. introduced=(?).
