Forum:How do you make infoboxes?

http://scrimmpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Phantasm

Could someone please fix this one, and then tell me what I'm doing wrong? Cheers. Scrimm&#39;s raised eyebrow 01:06, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You need to create the infobox. See Help:Infobox.  Manyman  (Talk)  07:54, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I've already looked at that, it doesn't tell me anything different to what I've already done. I have created the infobox, but it's not showing up. This is why I need someone to just have a quick look and do it for me, 'cos last time it took two days for me to figure out how to do the simplest thing. If someone could just do it for me, then I could look at what they did, then I'll know how to do it. It'll take five seconds, I'm sure. Scrimm&#39;s raised eyebrow 11:39, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, you haven't created it. You have just put the unmade template on the page. You need to make an infobox under the name Template:Infobox film. Once again, see Help:Infobox. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  11:54, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * w:c:shrek:Template:Infobox character. Have a look at the code; the bits with the  in it is the import bit.  Manyman  (Talk)  12:03, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't say (((foo))) anywhere. I don't know why this has to be so difficult, it's very off-putting. Responses to my original request only please, from now on.Scrimm&#39;s raised eyebrow 13:23, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Foo" is a 'placeholder'. I thought as much as I'd seen it a bit recently, but have only just myself confirmed it. See this wikipedia entry on foo: TellyFan 13:38, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't worry too much about that wikipedia entry though - it might confuse you further. But if you don't understand the placholder concept, ther is a link to that there. Basically, you substitute your own word where 'foo' is currently.TellyFan 13:41, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Note also that Manyman used and not (((foo))). To see these curly brackets in action on the link he provided, make sure you click on edit this page (a direct link to which is here TellyFan 13:48, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, Manyman (I'm sure you're still reading this!), I don't know where you got the UNK template from, but I now have it too. So thanks for the link :) TellyFan 13:51, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scrimm, please give a link to the infobox template that isn't working. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:04 AM PST 11 Jul 2010
 * Telly, I got it from here. Az is too smart for her own good .  Manyman   (Talk)  21:32, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
