This '''template:Wikia boilerplate''' is a {{tag|boilerplate}} template.  It is to be used <u>only</u> for '''{{tag|Wikia}}'''-hosted wiki sites (subsequently branded as 'Fandom powered by Wikia', now branded soley as 'Fandom').  To correctly use this {{tag|Wikia templates|Wikia template}}, replace <tt>WIKINAME</tt> in the sample URLs with the specific <s>Wikia</s> Fandom sub-domain name; for example, <code>StarWars.Fandom.com</code>.  Please note that non-English Fandom URLs have a notable change of URL schema compared to their former Wikia URLs, examples; from <code>De.StarWars.Wikia.com</code> to <code>StarWars.Fandom.com/de/</code>, or from <code>Es.StarWars.Wikia.com</code> to <code>StarWars.Fandom.com/es/</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.
This '''template: Wikia boilerplate''' is a '{{tag|boilerplate}}' template.  It is to be used <u>only</u> for '''{{tag|Wikia}}'''-hosted wiki sites (subsequently branded as 'Fandom powered by Wikia', now branded soley as 'Fandom').  To correctly use this {{tag|Wikia templates|Wikia template}}, replace <tt>WIKINAME</tt> in the sample URLs below with its specific <s>Wikia</s> Fandom sub-domain identifier; for example, <code>StarWars.Fandom.com</code>.  Please note that non-English language wiki site Fandom URLs have a notable change of URL schema compared to their former Wikia URLs, examples; from <code>De.StarWars.Wikia.com</code> to <code>StarWars.Fandom.com/de/</code>, or from <code>Es.StarWars.Wikia.com</code> to <code>StarWars.Fandom.com/es/</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 the full standardised and international {{Wp|ISO 8601#Calendar dates|ISO 8601 extended date format}} as shown (YYYY-MM-DD).
When adding or amending a <u>date</u> for the page count statistics update (number of pages - technically, part of [[template:Size]]), and / or an update to the published [[:Category:Wiki Backups|database dump backup]] file (within [[template:Wiki]]), ''please'' use the full standardised and internationalised {{Wp|ISO 8601#Calendar dates|ISO 8601 extended date format}} as shown: YYYY-MM-DD (standard hyphens and <u>not</u> 'slashes' for date separators).


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 <u>many years before</u> 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 Wikia site article page.
If or when editing an existing Wikia site article to update it to the new Fandom URL schema, please do <u>not</u> change the <tt>wikiFactor URL</tt> within its [[template:Size]].  The 'Special:PopularPages' was globally disabled on Wikia <u>many years before</u> the rebrand to Fandom, and its newer Fandom URL schema never used [[popular pages]]; therefore, retain its former <tt>WIKINAME.Wikia.com/wiki/Special:PopularPages</tt> (or <tt>Special:MostVisitedPages</tt>) URL, so that any [[:Category:Archived|archived]] URL might be found and added to the Wikia site article page to verify its [[wikiFactor]] (wF).
