Forum:Info Box

Hello,

I'm having real problems adding an info box to my wiki. Basically I want a football season infobox on my page, similar to the one here (on the right). I'd thought I'd dragged over all the templates, however I'm getting endless lines of "[]}".

The page (with the errors) can be seen here. If anyone could either try fixing it for me? Or showing me the error of my ways it would be greatly appreciated. I've honestly tried very hard to fix it myself before coming here.

Thanks in advance :o)


 * Hi there! I'm not exactly 100% sure what might be causing those errors (didn't look at the page well), but there is a very easy to use template for Infoboxes at w:c:bullspedia:Template:Infobox. It gives basic code that you can copy-and-paste into pages and fill out, and can be used for anything. --† DustKateb  (Talk to Me!)† 20:20, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. I think that template is where the error is originating, considering it has the same lines of errors. Is it likely that there's an error inside it? Could someone take a
 * look?
 * That infobox code is copied streight off wikipedia, it's suitable for wikipedia, but not much your wiki. As it'd take a lot of twiddling to make the template work, I've taken the liberty of making you a new one. Feel free to fiddle with it, hopefully the code looks nice enough that you can understand what it's doing without much trouble. I've not added all the feilds in the WP one, as I didn't think they were relevent, but feel free to add them in if you would like -- Random Time  21:39, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * NOTE: Wikipedias core infobox template is very different from Wikias Std one.
 * I started to look through the templates you had and the infobox/row was missing 2 sets of }} brackets, but i then found that Randomtime was working on fixing the problems with your seasons template so i've left trying to fix anything else. When copying templates it is a good idea to say were from in the edit summary then people know were to look i.e another wiki or wikipedia to find missing bits or errors or just to find more info on how they work. Wikipedias documentation template is totally different hence some of the other missing templates / messages on your wiki. If you do not copy the documentation across add a few notes about source and usage for other users. copying complex template docs from wikipedia often results in lots of other template calls being added (showing as redlinks or errors within the doc page). A look at special:wanted templates show several being called by pages/ other templates (some are best removed from the main template or the doc page on import to remove problems & confusion). - BulldozerD11 22:37, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
