This may have been asked before, but can you add a "meta" type, like for templates that transclude other templates?

Like, say you have a template, "Infobox-X", that transcluded a template "Infobox" and added parameters to it. You'd classify the base "Infobox" as an infobox because it displayed one, but then what about "Infobox-X"? It shouldn't also be an infobox, because not only does it just transclude another template, but that would make the infobox converter get all up in our faces about a template that doesn't actually need conversion. Any other template type, including non-article, would be inaccurate. (If anything, 'Infobox" should be non-article, because all the pages just use meta-infoboxes like "Infobox-X".) And of course, leaving the type as unknown basically means it's unfinished business, and someone else might stumble across it and try to categorize it into something it doesn't fit under.

Needless to say, this is a problem.
