This template defines the Cargo table `SaintMedia` and stores/displays metadata about media related to Catholic saints (e.g., podcasts, videos, audiobooks) in an infobox. It is typically used via a form (e.g., [[Form:SaintMedia]]) or directly on media pages. The table is defined when the template is first saved, and subsequent uses store data. Only the infobox is displayed, with no section heading or media content.
