This boilerplate template is to be used only for Wikia wikis. Replace WIKINAME with the specific Wikia sub-domain name. For example, starwars.wikia.com.

When adding or amending a backup file URL, please use a reverse ISO date format as shown (YYYY-MM-DD). If the URLs of backup files in the database dumbs section of the statistics page do NOT display a date, ie 'unknown', that means that no 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: <!-- -->.

{{Wiki

}}(As of: DD Month 2012)<!--manually add/amend date when stats are verified and/or updated-->

==Description==
{{add}} <!-- remove this comment (between <!-- and -->) after:
add description of your wiki here and 'tag' specific words to include them into categories as follows
{{tag|notable subject}}  (This tag construction is used when you want a word in the text to wikilink
to the category of that same name.)

If a taggable category name does not appear in the text; copy and move the following to the BOTTOM
of the page, and amend to manually add categories:
[[Category:FirstAdditional]]
[[Category:SecondAdditional]]
It would also be helpful to add the year of founding, like so...
-->
[[Category:FoundedIn20xx]]<!--http://WIKINAME.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AncientPages-->

Main template is: template:Wiki. See also: template:Wiki boilerplate for non-Wikia (or Ex-Wikia) wikis.
