This is a generic boilerplate template, suitable for all wiki article entries; applicable for most wiki engines, including MediaWiki. For Wikia-specific wikis, see: template:Wikia boilerplate (currently only available in English).

When adding or amending a date for the backup file, or page count and wikiFactor, please use the Template:W as shown (YYYY-MM-DD).

{{Wiki <!--see 'Template:Wiki' for full detail-->

;''Description
<!-- remove this comment (between <!-- and -->) after:
type description of your wiki here, and 'tag' specific notable words to include them into categories as follows {{tag|notable subject}}
(This tag construction is used when you want a word in the text to wikilink to the category of that same name.)  Although not
required, please try to support any commentary with inline references to valid external citations.

;''See also

;''External links
*[https://WikiParentURL.org WikiParentURL.org] — official website of wiki
*{{W|English Wikipedia article on actual wiki site}} — on the [[English Wikipedia]]
Official web forums, and social media sites which DIRECTLY support the actual wiki site may also be included.
Off-topic links are not allowed; they will be treated a spam, and will be removed.

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... -->
[[Category:FirstAdditional]]
[[Category:SecondAdditional]]
[[Category:FoundedIn20xx]]<!--https://YourWikiURL.org/index.php?title=Special:AncientPages or https://YourWikiURL.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&dir=prev&action=history-->
