Roblox Interwiki Project

The Interwiki project was started by Ender01, an admin on the Lumber Tycoon 2 Wiki on September 19th, 2016. It was designed to bring numerous Roblox wiki communities together through one main template. It is currently being maintained by various users (includes offical devs and non-devs).

This is the template documentation for the Roblox Wiki Template, a template which references various wikis related to the Roblox platform. About the Interwiki project Wiki Qualifications Wiki qualifications are not yet final.
 * 1,500 total edits
 * 15 or more active users
 * One admin or bureaucrat who has at least 500 edits and is very active

Wikis MUST have 50 or more non-stub pages.

All wikis MUST be user-friendly. This means that content can be readable by anyone and on any device. And after viewing the incident with TWEM's CSS failure in February 2018, wiki CSS and JS should be able to work with FANDOM's interface.

The wiki has to cover a Roblox game that is not already in the template. If there are multiple wikis on the same game, the admins/bureaucrats of the two wikis should merge their wikis (please refer to Help:Merging communities).

Design The template is based on some concepts of Material Design, a design language created by Google in 2014, and has been heavily improved on continuously since. Material Design is a guide for app developers and website makers to create beautiful and easy to use apps. TheWikiaEditMachine uses Material Design colors when doing work on wikis.

Interwiki Discussion On February 4th, 2018, Ender01 approved the idea for an Interwiki Chat, originally thought of by Jerricks, and that has since became the Roblox Wikia discord server.

Template Customization RobloxWikis is one of the ONLY Interwiki templates on Fandom that enables its affiliated communities to customize the template through their CSS. Although it would be easier to provide customization parameters within the template itself; using CSS classes was found to be more efficient in template loading, template size, AND page size.

RobloxWikis has certain classes that allows communities to customize certain parts of the template:
 * 1)  : This controls the top part of the template.
 * 2)  : The head buttons are the button-like links that link users to the template page, this info page, and the Interwiki Discord.
 * 3)  : This part of the template is not always active, as it is usually used for polls for communities' opinions on changes.
 * 4)  : Customizes the table and background.
 * 5)  : Customizes rows A-D and N-S.
 * 6)  : Customizes rows E-M and T-Z.
