<noinclude>This is the [[:Category:Boilerplates|boilerplate]] for [[template:Wiki Farm]].</noinclude> Use this [[:Category:Templates|template]] for generating an [[:Category:Infobox templates|infobox]] in the 'mother' article or [[Special:Categories|category]] for a specific [[:Category:WikiFarm|wiki farm]] – such as [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], [[:Category:eArt-wiki-hive|eArt-wiki-hive]], [[:Category:Referata|Referata]], etc.  If it is also a '[[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]]', the <tt>{{template|WikiEngineFeatures}}</tt> will generate a link to a specific page about the wiki engine on [[WikiMatrix]].

Use this [[Special:Templates|template]] for generating an [[:Category:Infobox template|infobox]] in the 'mother' or 'parent' [[article]] or [[Special:Categories|category]] for a specific {{tag|wiki farm}}; such as [[:Category:eArt-wiki-hive|eArt-wiki-hive]], [[:Category:Miraheze|Miraheze]], [[:Category:NeoWiki|NeoWiki]], [[:Category:Referata|Referata]], [[:Category:ShoutWiki|ShoutWiki]], [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], [[:Category:Wikidot.com|Wikidot.com]], etc.  If it is <u>also</u> a '[[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]]', the <tt>{{Template|WikiMatrix wiki engine features}}</tt> will generate an external link to a specific page about the wiki engine on the [[WikiMatrix]] wiki comparison wiki site; and this will provide additional detailed information.  All infobox external URLs <u>must</u> start with <tt>http://</tt> or <tt>https://</tt>, whereas external link URLs within the {{Cambridge-Dictionary|prose}} description may also use any existing [[interwiki]] link for external sites, along with conventional 'internal' [[wikilink]]s.
