This template:Wikia boilerplate (a boilerplate template) is to be used only for Wikia wikis. Replace WIKINAME with the specific Wikia sub-domain name. For example, starwars.wikia.com or de.starwars.wikia.com or es.starwars.wikia.com, etc. When completed and saved, this specific boilerplate calls on the default template:Wiki to generate the standard infobox as used on all wiki articles.

When adding or amending a date for the backup file, please use full ISO 8601 date format as shown (YYYY-MM-DD). If the URLs of backup files in the database dumps section of the statistics page do NOT display a date, ie 'unknown'; that means that no backup has been created. You may still copy and paste the URL (for when Wikia decide to actually create said backup), but please add it to the template within the commented-out formated coding: <!-- -->.

{{wikia-stub}} <!-- remove this comment (between <!-- and -->) after:
type description of your wiki here, and 'tag' specific notable words to include them into categories as 
follows {{tag|notable subject}}  (This tag construction is used when you want a word in the text to 
wikilink to the category of that same name.)

If a taggable category name does not appear in the prose text, use and amend the '[[Category:FirstAdditional]]' 
etc at the BOTTOM of the page to manually add categories.  Please also add the year of founding, 
like so...  -->
