I need some specific templates for a wiki. I don't run the Redwall Wiki, but I need the blank templates for another wiki. The links are examples.

Battle templates:  http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Battle/War

character templates: http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Character

http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Badger (I don't just need them for the badger rulers, I need other species templates too)

I didn't know they weren't pre-installed with the wikis and I have no idea how to set them up.

Can anyone help please? --Tiria Wildlough  Ee aye eeeh!! 16:32, December 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * It always helps to give a link to your wiki. That way when someone helps you they can work on the template on your wiki. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 17 Dec 2012 5:45 PM Pacific


 * The wiki is Holt Rhulain Wiki. Now people can help easier. You can also ask about how to deal with trolls. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 18 Dec 2012 11:32 AM Pacific


 * I would start copying over the templates you think you need and then we can work from there. Make sure to look in the wikicode of the templates (in source mode) and look for something . These are CSS classes and likely need also to be copied from w:c:redwall:MediaWiki:Wikia.css or w:c:redwall:MediaWiki:Common.css. However, if they were copied from yet another wiki and those classes were not used, they may not be there to copy. Don't worry about it right away. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 18 Dec 2012 12:34 PM Pacific


 * You need to read Help:Templates, Help:Templates/Parameters, Help:Parser functions and Help:Tables/wikitext.--PedroM 14:15, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
