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 a link to a specific page about the wiki engine on WikiMatrix.

{{Wiki Engine
|name             =YourWikiEngineName<!--change this to the correct name-->
|logo             =[[Image:NoLogo.png]]<!--you may hotlink to the logo, or upload and wikilink-->
|URL              =YourWikiHttp<!--start with http:// - eg: http://YourWikiURL.org, if unknown 'UnknownWikiURL'-->
|recentchanges URL=No <!--http://YourWikiURL.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges – if none, use No-->
|wikinode URL     =No <!--http://YourWikiURL.org/wiki/WikiNode – if none, use No-->
|status           =YourWikiStatus<!--'Active' or 'Dormant' if available, 'Dead' if not-->
|language         =YourWikiLanguage<!--eg: English, Multilingual, Japanese etc-->
|editmode         =YourWikiEditMode<!--OpenEdit, LoginToEdit, etc, see Category:Wiki Edit Mode-->
|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, BackLinks, etc.-->>

{{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.
