Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Thor2000!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Help Desk. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- BlueDevil (Talk) 15:17, 1 May 2009

Templates
There's a couple of schools of thought about Templates at Wikia.

The comic sites use templates as an expanded infobox, so all the information that is put onto the page can be categorized and referenced later.

Most of the other Wikis don't do things this way, but use a template to hide complicated code from every day editors.

So I'd say the best way to start is to make a list of the things you want users to fill in. Like for a character, there's height and weight and hair color, as well as name and first appearance.

From there, what I always did when I started making templates was to copy one from another site to ours, and mess with it until it looked the way I wanted. (Sometimes easier said than done).

A couple of places that I always referred to in the beginning are The Help Wiki's Templates Article, their links, and MediaWiki's help guide on templates.

Hope this helps! :)

Not sure
Is this the page you're referring to? It seemed to work for me. If you're still having problems, we can ask someone else.

 * Weird. Maybe it has to do with the browser you're using, or maybe the libraries have a block on that kind of page, I'm not sure.  A good place to start is here, since it seems to be a possible bug in the software (that is, if your browser or firewall isn't interfering).  That page has about 5 or 6 different places where you could tell someone.  The tech guys (who fix these problems) are usually very good about getting back to people, so if you are still having trouble, let me know, and I'll see what I can do to speed things up.

 * Good deal. Sorry it doesn't work.  Are you able to try a different browser, like Firefox or Safari?  It might work.  Either way, the tech guys should be able to help you. :)
