* Boilerplate is a character in [[Chris Elliott]]'s 2005 novel ''[[The Shroud of the Thwacker]]'', a spoof historical thriller.  Elliott mistakenly thought that the Boilerplate site concerned a hoax which dated back to the 19th century and included material from the website in his book, not realising it wasn't in the public domain. After being alerted to the copyright infringement, Elliott and Guinan negotiated a settlement which allowed the character to be used in exchange for a percentage of Elliott's earnings from the book and credit in future editions.<ref name="PW" /><ref name="NYT" />
