Revision as of 10:37, 22 December 2012

This boilerplate template is to be used only for Wikia wikis. Replace WIKINAME with the specific Wikia sub-domain name. For example, starwars.wikia.com.

When adding or amending a backup file URL date, please use a reverse ISO date format as shown (YYYY-MM-DD). If the URLs of backup files in the database dumbs 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: <!-- -->.

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.  It would also be helpful to add the year of 
founding, like so...  -->

Main template is: template:Wiki. See also: template:Wiki boilerplate for non-Wikia (or Ex-Wikia) wikis.
