nginx - How do I make server-wide configuration for every hosted website

For each website I host with nginx, I have got a different file which holds the server {} block in /etc/nginx/conf.d/

For example...
/etc/nginx/conf.d/website1.co.uk
/etc/nginx/conf.d/website2.org
/etc/nginx/conf.d/website3.com

I find myself repeating the same code in every server {} block and was wondering if it is possible to make a "catch all" server {} block to house the reusable code.

This new "catch all" file would include things such as...

# Redirect all www. attempts to non-www.
server {
  server_name www.$anything; hmm?
  return 301 $scheme://$hostname$request_uri;
}

server {
  server_name _; hmm?

  # Add expires to static files
  location ~* \.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png|bmp)$ {
    expires max;
    access_log off;
  }

  # Pass PHP files to PHP
  location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }

}

Has anyone does this before?
Do we have to repeat these types of generic codes for each website we host?

All you need is include. Put all boilerplate in separate files, without server blocks. include fastcgi_params mentioned in the sample config is a prime example. Without a leading slash, nginx will look in the directory where the main configuration file is. So:

include fastcgi_params;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

are equivalent, if nginx.conf is in /etc/nginx.
