Purpose
When used, this Founded by people template will create striking red-coloured line within its article or category page, indicating the name of the wiki site, the name of its founder and creator (with a URL, if entered), the date (optional) of its founding with a wikilink to the category of its year of founding.
Boilerplate code
{{Founded by
|name =
|url =
|founder=
|date =
}}
- name
- Enter the original name of the wiki site; if the WikiIndex article name is identical to the actual wiki site name, this field can be left blank, and {{PAGENAME}} will automatically be used;
- url
- URL to an article (or user page) about the person who originally created said wiki, ideally on their actual wiki; or wikilink to their article (or user page) here on WikiIndex;
- founder
- Real name of founder, and / or username and / or pseudonym;
- date
- Optional, though preferred; date (in Template:W, ie YYYY-MM-DD) on which the wiki was created (or officially launched). If launch date and creation date are different (and known), either may be used in this template, but please explain the two different dates within the prose of the wiki article page.
In order to save space within the wiki edit box, the above template code may also be used as an 'inline' format, as in:
{{Founded by|name= |url= |founder= |date= }}
Example
Ideally, this template should be placed at or near the top of any wiki article page, for example, immediately after the Wiki infobox template.
{{Founded by
|name = WikiIndex
|url = https://WikiIndex.org/John_Stanton
|founder= John Stanton
|date = {{tag|FoundedIn2006|2006-01-23}}
}}or
{{Founded by|name=WikiIndex|url=https://WikiIndex.org/John_Stanton|founder=John Stanton|date={{tag|FoundedIn2006|2006-01-23}}}}
This gives:
WikiIndex was founded and created by John Stanton on 2006-01-23.
