This is the boilerplate for template: MultilingualMain; the infobox with the pink border. Use this template for generating an infobox in the 'mother' or 'parent' article or category for an identical series of wiki sites which are released in differing wiki languages; such as Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Uncyclopedia, Metapedia, JurisPedia, wikiHow, Touhou Wiki, WikiMANNia, Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, etc; ie: for multilingual versions of wiki sites, and those which may also use a portal page. 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.
Select and highlight the text above in the blue/grey 'boilerplate', select copy the highlighted text (Ctrl-c, or ⌘-c on your keyboard), and then paste (Ctrl-c or ⌘-v) it at the top of the edit box of the relevant portal category, then amend the fields to the right of the =
sign with the requested information on the specific wiki portal or series. Don't forget to click on the 'Show preview' button (alt-p (PC) or shift-esc-p (Mac) on your keyboard) to verify your edited detail is correct before saving (alt-s [PC] or shift-esc-s [Mac]).
See also: template: Language versions, which is used to generate a textual navigation top banner with wikilinks to all sub-language versions (IF articles use 'Wiki site (en)' scheme); and template: Wiki which is used to generate the standard wiki article infobox.
