Template talk:Activator

I'm a bit confused by the meaning / use of this template:

As far as I am willing to research (;-)), this template is used only in the Template:O Targetname, to print the statement !activator = activator on every entity page. OK, Targetname tells me what !activator means, but what does the statement mean ? --Beeswax 09:03, 2 Mar 2008 (PST)
