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> in the URL 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 our 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 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 URL placeholders for the 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 eventually decide to actually create said backup), but please add it to the <tt>backupurl</tt> field within the 'commented-out' formatted coding: <tt><nowiki><!-- --></nowiki></tt>.
