Template:Wiki boilerplate

This is the boilerplate for template: Wiki; the infobox with the dark grey border. Template: Wiki boilerplate is the generic boilerplate template used for creating a standardised infobox for articles about wiki SITES here on WikiIndex. It is suitable for all wiki site articles, and is applicable to act as a guide for most wiki engine schemas, including MediaWiki. For Fandom-specific wiki articles powered by Wikia (Fandom), use: template: Wikia boilerplate (currently only available in English). For wiki sites powered by all other wiki engines, please amend the requested field answers to their best fit. This boilerplate template has been manually translated from this specific boilerplate into a few other selected wiki languages as listed at the bottom of this page, based on standard MediaWiki terminology. Please make any changes or updates as required, and please create a new boilerplate (including the below red links) in a different language if desired. It should be noted, for ALL MediaWiki sites (apart from early software versions), all non-English wiki sites will automatically translate all SpecialPages standard English URLs into the actual language as used on said non-English wiki site. All infobox external URLs must start with http:// or https://, whereas prose links in the description can also use any existing interwiki link for external sites, along with conventional 'internal' wikilinks.

Please note: when adding and / or amending a date for the field containing the backup file, or the placements for page count and / or wikiFactor (wF), please use the YYYY-MM-DD schema, which is the universal and international ISO 8601 date extended format.

of people on wiki, wiki software and host, independent awards or nominations, and any problems such as technical problems or user 
complaints, 'tag' specific subject words to auto-include them into categories as follows: {{tag|notable subject}}.  (The tag template 
is used to make a word in the text into wikilink AND auto-include into the category of that same name).  Although not required,
