Basic Page Information and Categorisation

Pages for connectors should be located under the name of the connector, (e.g. Phone connector or VL connector).

Connector pages use the {{Infobox connector}} template to provide the basic information about the connector. Documentation on the fields available in this infobox are available at the Template:Infobox connector page.
Basic Description
Before the first section there should be a basic description of the connector.
Categorisation
Connectors are stored under the Category:Connector category.
