Template:Wikia boilerplate

This template:Wikia boilerplate is a boilerplate template. It is to be used only for Wikia-hosted wiki sites (subsequently branded as 'Fandom powered by Wikia', now branded soley as 'Fandom'). To correctly use this Wikia template, replace WIKINAME in the sample URLs with the specific Wikia Fandom sub-domain name; for example, StarWars.Fandom.com. Please note that non-English URLs have a notable change of URL schema, examples; from De.StarWars.Wikia.com to StarWars.Fandom.com/de/, or from Es.StarWars.Wikia.com to StarWars.Fandom.com/es/, etc. When completed and saved, this specific Wikia boilerplate calls on our default template:Wiki to generate the standard 'infobox' as used on all wiki site articles here on WikiIndex.

When adding or amending a date for the statistics (number of pages - technically, part of template:Size) update, and / or backup file (within template:Wiki) update, please use the full standardised and international ISO 8601 extended date format as shown (YYYY-MM-DD).

If / when editing an existing Wikia article to update to the new Fandom URL schema, do not change the wikiFactor URL within template:Size. The 'Special:PopularPages' was globally disabled on Wikia many years before the rebrand to Fandom, and its newer Fandom URL schema; so please leave the former WIKINAME.Wikia.com/wiki/Special:PopularPages URL, so that any archived URL might be found and added to the Wikia site article page.

Type description of Wikia wiki site here, and 'tag' specific notable words to 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, please try to support any commentary with inline references to 
valid external citations.
