My most visited page in Shopify docs, and second-most to any Shopify created resource aside from the super handy Liquid cheat sheet, is probably the Input Settings document.

The Best Place to Get Up and Running Quickly
I have found the Input Settings document to be super handy for a quick copy and paste to fill out the necessary item.
