Forum:Problem with Infobox

I created a new template using the patter of another. For some reason when I remove the parts that are not in use, the template will display the missing option not in use, like this. When I remove the options below the characteristics section, it doesn't display the missing option, which is how I would like it without having to keep the options blank. -- Bunai82 (talk) 23:32, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * As the person above me says, you need to make the parameters optional. I recommend you use this method:


 * This will show the parameter in the template (so people know it's there), but will only show it in a transclusion if " " has a value. -- Duskey talk 12:25, September 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you both. Though the "#if:" triggers are rather confusing to me, I am still studying how it works. The original Admin of the wiki made a simple version for me to work with, so that is the one I use a lot. Its odd because its been working well previously before the new template. -- Bunai82 (talk) 17:47, September 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The #if stuff are parserfunctions, there's a lore more info on them here: MW:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions. -- Duskey talk 21:54, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
