Templates can, and often do, include other templates. Infoboxes seem to be
some of the most complex templates. Some can include many other templates,
which can include other templates. Look down at the bottom of the template
you are copying and you should see a list of other templates that your
template will be calling. Lather, rinse, repeat.
