- This template is used to show whether there is a matching template on the Starter Wikia, which is the wiki that is preloaded onto every new Wikia.

- Copy the code
{{SPW|name={{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:PAGENAME}}|-1}}}}to the top of the "/doc" page (this code is part of the template documentation preload).

- Templates tagged as "is not on" will be listed in Category:Not on Starter Pages Wikia, which can be examined for templates that could be good to copy to Starter.

{{SPW|is not on}}; - or the template is not here and therefore should be: copy it and its /doc page (with
{{SPW|is on}}) to here.

- Description
- This template is used to show that a template has been copied from Wikia Templates, and to remind editors to periodically check that wiki for a newer version of the template.
