Revision as of 01:43, 13 June 2022

This template:Wikia boilerplate is a boilerplate template. It is to be used only for Wikia-hosted wiki sites (now branded as 'Fandom powered by Wikia'). To correctly use this Wikia template, replace WIKINAME in the sample URLs 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 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.
