{{Note|Do not import templates from Wikipedia, as they are more complex than necessary.}}

[[~~<tvar name="mw">~~mw:Templates~~</tvar>~~|Templates]] are pages designed to be transcluded (embedded) within other pages. They are located in the "Template:" namespace and are created like any other wiki page.

Templates often rely on multiple dependencies and cannot simply be copied from another wiki. Miraheze’s most used templates are listed at [[~~<tvar name="dev">dev~~:Category:Templates~~</tvar>~~|~~dev:~~Category:Templates]]. These include documentation and dependencies.

Line 120:

=== How do I change my wiki’s license? ===

Visit Special:ManageWiki/settings, navigate to Content Licensing, and select the desired license from the dropdown menu.

== Closed Wikis ==

=== How does a wiki close? ===

A wiki becomes inactive (closed) when you navigate to Special:ManageWiki and select the "Closed" option. It can be reopened by returning to Special:ManageWiki and unchecking this option.

Wikis are also automatically closed due to inactivity, as outlined in the [[Dormancy Policy]]. Refer to the actual policy document for precise details rather than relying on this summary. The Dormancy Policy applies to all wikis unless specifically exempted by stewards. If you need an exemption for your wiki, please use [[Steward requests]].

If you come across a closed wiki and believe you can contribute to its development, please submit a request on [[Steward requests]].

=== Can I delete my wiki? ===

If your wiki has multiple active contributors, you must hold a local discussion before requesting deletion, and a consensus must support closing the wiki. However, if you are the sole contributor of a small or personal wiki, no discussion is required. To request deletion, please submit a request via [[Steward requests]].

=== How do I move my wiki? ===

Moving a wiki involves exporting its pages, whether to a mirror site or a hosting platform other than SkyWiki. This process is the reverse of importing pages from another wiki into your SkyWiki wiki.

For smaller wikis, you can list all pages via Special:AllPages, copy this list, and paste it into Special:Export to generate an XML content dump.

For larger wikis, SkyWiki can assist with the migration process. To request assistance, open a ticket on Phorge.

If the destination platform does not use MediaWiki software, the exported pages may require conversion into a compatible format. SkyWiki does not provide support for such conversions.
