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.

<!-- remove this comment (between <!-- and -->) after:
Type description of Wikia wiki site here, and 'tag' specific notable words to include them into categories as follows 
{{tag|notable subject}}  (The tag template is used to make a word in the text into wikilink AND auto-include into the 
category of that same name).  Although not required, please try to support any commentary with inline references to 
valid external citations.

;''See also
List any additional articles here on WikiIndex that may be relevant or related to this specific wiki site (if any)

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.

or if a single subject has many differing wikis, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, or Final Fantasy.

If a tag-able 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.  Please also add the year of founding, 
like so... -->
[[Category:FirstAdditional]]
[[Category:SecondAdditional]]

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 Wikia site article, then amend the fields to the right of the = sign with the requested information on the specific Wikia site. 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]).
