Roblox Interwiki Project

The Interwiki project was started by Ender01, a bureaucrat 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 official devs and non-devs), and administered by Ender01, Karasuneth, and Thundermaker300.

This is the template documentation for the Roblox Wiki Template, a template which references various wikis related to the Roblox platform.

Wiki Qualifications
Wiki qualifications are not yet final. For wikis to be able to qualify for inclusion in the template, they must meet AT LEAST one of the following criteria:
 * 1,500 total edits
 * 15 or more active users
 * One admin or bureaucrat who has at least 500 edits and is very active

To ensure the best possible communication in the project, participating wikis must have at LEAST ONE staff member in the Roblox Wikia and Interwiki Discord at all times or your wiki may be subject to removal from the template.

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. The CSS and HTML must be compatible with Fandom's platform. In light of changes to Fandom upgrading to a new And after viewing the incident with TWEM's CSS breaking in February 2018, wiki CSS and JS should be compatible with Fandom's interface.

All wikis are subject to review from any of the interwiki leads. Although the above criteria is used by the interwiki leads, it is just a guideline. If an interwiki lead denies the wiki, it will not be added. Some things you can do that interwiki leads will check for includes...
 * Clean out Special:Shortpages, make smaller pages larger or delete them. Redirects will not be shown on this list.
 * Make sure all of your pages have lots of content, or some of this content displayed in an infobox.
 * Your wiki's homepage has lots of content and is visually attractive (this includes CSS & HTML elements).

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).

Wiki Removal
Interwiki leads retain the right to remove a wiki from the interwiki for any reason they see fit. Wikis that have poor moderation, or whose moderation team is not aware of FANDOM policies, may be removed temporarily until conditions have been improved upon. Additionally, wikis may be removed through an interwiki vote.

Design
The template was originally 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. Since then, the template has kept a consistent design with changes in its color palette, which now follows Roblox Brand Guidelines.

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.

Keep in mind that each of these are critical to the template, NONE of these classes should be customized to be hidden. Doing so can result in temporary suspension of the wiki until the wiki resolves the issue.
