This '''template:Wikia boilerplate''' is a {{tag|Boilerplates|boilerplate}} template.  It is to be used <u>only</u> for '''[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]''' wikis (now branded as 'Fandom powered by Wikia').  Replace <tt>WIKINAME</tt> in the sample URLs 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 {{tag|Wikia templates|Wikia boilerplate}} calls on our default [[template:Wiki]] to generate the standard '[[:Category:Infobox templates|infobox]]' as used on [[:Category:All|all wiki articles]] here on WikiIndex.
This '''template:Wikia boilerplate''' is a {{tag|Boilerplates|boilerplate}} template.  It is to be used <u>only</u> for '''{{tag|Wikia}}'''-hosted wiki sites (now branded as 'Fandom powered by Wikia').  To correctly use this {{tag|Wikia templates|Wikia template}}, replace <tt>WIKINAME</tt> in the sample URLs 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 [[Template:Wikia boilerplate|Wikia boilerplate]] calls on our default [[template:Wiki]] to generate the standard '[[:Category:Infobox templates|infobox]]' as used on [[:Category:All|'''all''' wiki site articles]] here on WikiIndex.


When adding or amending a <u>date</u> for the statistics (number of pages - technically, part of [[template:Size]]) update, and / or [[:Category:Wiki Backups|backup]] file (within [[template:Wiki]]) 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 add a likely URL for the database dump file (for when Fandom powered by 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>, and leave blank the <tt>backupdate</tt> field.
When adding or amending a <u>date</u> for the statistics (number of pages - technically, part of [[template:Size]]) update, and / or [[:Category:Wiki Backups|backup]] file (within [[template:Wiki]]) update, ''please'' use the full standardised and international {{Wp|ISO 8601#Calendar dates|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 <u>not</u> change the <tt>wikiFactor URL</tt> 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 <tt>WIKINAME.Wikia.com/wiki/Special:PopularPages</tt> URL, so that any [[:Category:Archived|archived]] URL might be found and added to the article page.
