Forum:Default templates for a new wiki

When I started my English wiki, it came with about 25 templates by default. When I opened a similar Russian one, it had no templates at all. Do they exist somewhere? Can I download and reuse them instead of writing or translating from scratch? 24.222.179.176 03:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * When starting a french wikia, we dont get template neither. I think that this is mainly because Wikia staff does not include anyone who know the french language at the moment. Maybe it's the same for you. — TulipVorlax 05:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Templates etc. default stuff comes from starter wikis. English wikis get the content from starter.wikia, dunno about others. At least fi.starter (that I maintain) hasn't been "released", so Finnish wikis are by default empty as of now. This is likely to change soon...very soon, I hope. ;-)


 * If you want to start a Starter Wikia in another language or request editing privileges on existing one, please speak to the Community Team about this. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
