This is the boilerplate for template: MultilingualMain; the infobox with the pink border. Use this template for generating an infobox in the 'mother' or 'parent' article or category for an identical series of wiki sites which are released in differing wiki languages; such as Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Uncyclopedia, Metapedia, JurisPedia, wikiHow, Touhou Wiki, WikiMANNia, Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, etc; ie: for multilingual versions of wiki sites, and those which may also use a portal page. All infobox external URLs must start with http:// or https://, whereas prose links in the description can also use any existing interwiki link for external sites, along with conventional 'internal' wikilinks.

{{MultilingualMain <!--see 'Template:MultilingualMain' for full detail and hidden help advice-->
|name        = WikiPortalName –<br><small>''tagline''</small><!--if portal name differs from category name, and/or has tagline; otherwise, DELETE this field-->
|URL         = WikiPortalURL<!--start with http:// or https:// eg: https://www.WikiPortalURL.org-->
|logo        = [[File:NoLogo.png|Description of portal logo image|alt=]]<!--you may upload and wikilink, or hotlink to a URL-->
|wide logo   = <!--insert 'y' when the logo is too wide AND / OR the title is too long-->
|wikinode URL= No<!--https://www.WikiPortalURL.org/WikiNode, if none, use 'No'-->
|about URL   = No<!--https://www.WikiPortalURL.org/PORTALNAMESPACE:About, if none, use 'No'-->

|maintopic   = YourWikiTopic<!--main primary topic of the project; eg: Encyclopaedia, Travel guide, How to, Parody, Law, etc-->
|license     = WikiPortalLicense<!--optional, see Category:Wiki License, if NO license, 'NoLicense'-->
|parent      = <!--parent company / owner-->
}}<!--{{Language versions|}}--><!--list alphabetically by ISO two-digit language prefix IF articles use 'Wiki site (en)' scheme-->

{{ProjectTemplate|cat=no}}<!--eg, {{Wikipedia|cat=no}}, {{Uncyclopedia|cat=no}}, etc-->
[[Category:Portal]]<!--ONLY if URL is a portal; see www.Wikipedia.org for example-->
Please add the year of founding of the wiki portal, or first wiki in the series, like so...
[[Category:FoundedIn20xx]]<!--https://www.WikiPortalURL.org/index.php?title=Special:AncientPages-->

Select and highlight the text above in the blue/grey 'boilerplate', select copy the highlighted text (Ctrl-c, or -c on your keyboard), and then paste (Ctrl-c or -v) it at the top of the edit box of the relevant portal category, then amend the fields to the right of the = sign with the requested information on the specific wiki portal or series. Don't forget to click on the 'Show preview' button (alt-p (PC) or shift-esc-p (Mac) on your keyboard) to verify your edited detail is correct before saving (alt-s [PC] or shift-esc-s [Mac]).
