This is the boilerplate for template:Wiki Engine. Use this template for generating an infobox in the 'mother' article or category for a specific wiki engine – such as WikiWikiWeb, MediaWiki, MoinMoin, XWiki, etc. The {{WikiEngineFeatures}} will generate an external link to a specific page about the wiki engine on the WikiMatrix wiki.

{{Wiki Engine
|name         = YourWikiEngineName<!--use if wiki name is different from page name; otherwise, DELETE this field-->
|URL          = YourWikiHttp<!--start with http:// - eg: http://YourWikiURL.org, if unknown 'UnknownWikiURL'-->
|logo         = [[File:NoLogo.png]] <!--you may upload and wikilink, or hotlink to a URL-->
|changes URL  = No <!--revision history, change log or roadmap URL – if none, use 'No'-->
|wikinode URL = No <!--eg: http://YourWikiURL.org/WikiNode – if none, use 'No'-->
|about URL    = No <!--eg: http://YourWikiURL.org/About - if none, use 'No'-->
|status       = YourWikiStatus <!--'Active' or 'Dormant' if available, 'Dead' if not-->
|language     = YourWikiLanguage <!--eg: English, Multilingual, Japanese etc-->
|maintopic    = Wiki Engine
|prog language= WikiEngine ProgrammingLanguage <!--WikiMatrix will advise correct prog lang-->
|s/w license  = YourSoftwareLicense <!--WikiMatrix will advise, see Category:License-->
}}
<!--Description of wiki engine goes here.
Try to add its programming language and software license, and detail of any other features or 
attributes.  Try to list any database requirements, and any wiki syntax issues, such as does 
it support [[CamelCase]], [[InterWiki]], [[free link]]s, [[backlink]]s, etc.-->
{{tag|FirstAdditional}}
{{tag|SecondAdditional}}
{{WikiEngineFeatures}}

It would also be helpful to add the year of founding of the wiki engine, like so...
[[Category:FoundedIn20xx]]<!--http://YourWikiURL.org/index.php?title=Special:AncientPages-->

Copy the above text in the blue 'boilerplate' and paste it at the top of the edit box in the relevant wiki engine article or category, then amend the fields to the right of the = sign. Don't forget to click on the 'Show preview' button (or alt-p on your keyboard) to verify your edited detail is correct before saving.
