This is the boilerplate for template: Wiki Farm; the infobox with the light green border. Use this template for generating an infobox in the 'mother' or 'parent' article or category for a specific wiki farm; such as eArt-wiki-hive, Miraheze, NeoWiki, Referata, ShoutWiki, Wikia, Wikidot.com, etc. If it is also a 'wiki engine', the {{WikiMatrix wiki engine features}} will generate an external link to a specific page about the wiki engine on the WikiMatrix wiki comparison wiki site; and this will provide additional detailed information. All infobox external URLs must start with http:// or https://, whereas external link URLs within the prose description may 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-v or ⌘-v) it at the top of the edit box of the relevant wiki farm article or category, then amend the fields to the right of the =
sign with the requested information on the specific wiki farm. 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]).
