This is the boilerplate for template: WeblogPost; the infobox with the light blue border. Use this template for generating a standardised infobox in an article for a weblog post about any aspects of wikis. All infobox external URLs must start with http:// or https://, whereas prose links in the description can also use any existing interwiki link for external sites, along with conventional 'internal' wikilinks.
Select and highlight the text above in the blue/grey 'boilerplate', select copy the highlighted text (Ctrl-c, or ⌘-c on your keyboard), and then paste (Ctrl-c or ⌘-v) it at the top of the edit box of the relevant wiki weblog post article, then amend the fields to the right of the =
sign with the requested information. Don't forget to click on the 'Show preview' button (alt-p (PC) or shift-esc-p (Mac) on your keyboard) to verify your edited detail is correct before saving (alt-s [PC] or shift-esc-s [Mac]).
