This '''template:Wikia boilerplate''' is a [[:Category:Boilerplates|boilerplate]] template.  It is to be used <u>only</u> for '''[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]''' wikis.  Replace <tt>WIKINAME</tt> with the specific Wikia sub-domain name.  For example, <code>starwars.wikia.com</code> or <code>de.starwars.wikia.com</code> or <code>es.starwars.wikia.com</code>, etc.  When completed and saved, this specific boilerplate calls on the default [[template:Wiki]] to generate the standard [[:Category:Infobox templates|infobox]] as used on [[:Category:All|all wiki articles]].

When adding or amending a <u>date</u> for the [[:Category:Wiki Backups|backup]] file, ''please'' use full [[wp:ISO 8601#Calendar dates|ISO 8601 date format]] as shown (YYYY-MM-DD).  If the URLs of backup files in the database dumps section of the statistics page do NOT display a date, ie 'unknown'; that means that <u>no</u> backup has been created.  You may still copy and paste the URL (for when Wikia decide to actually create said backup), but please add it to the template within the commented-out formated coding: <tt><nowiki><!-- --></nowiki></tt>.
When adding or amending a <u>date</u> for the statistics (number of pages) update and / or [[:Category:Wiki Backups|backup]] file update, ''please'' use full [[wp:ISO 8601#Calendar dates|ISO 8601 date format]] as shown (YYYY-MM-DD).  If the URLs of backup files in the database dumps section of the <tt>/Special:Statistics</tt> page do NOT display a date, i.e. 'unknown'; that means that <u>no</u> backup has been created.  You may still copy and paste any live URL (for when Wikia decide to actually create said backup), but please add it to the template within the 'commented-out' formatted coding: <tt><nowiki><!-- --></nowiki></tt>.
