Forum:Infobox Problem

As the pictures may/may-not suggest, I attempted to shift an article I had originally made on another wikia to mine as well as the infobox associated with the source. However the difference between the original and the transferred copy is that a heap of "Parent::" files and another "`$", both cases being foreign to myself (meaning I have no idea what they mean; I also have the same Wikia+Common.css' as the other wikia).

Any ideas? Ain Soph Aur 09:30, April 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Naruto Fanon's version information says that it is using semantic extensions (designed to make editing easier through forms and make finding info easier), which add a lot of code that your wiki won't be able to interpret as it does not have those extensions installed. :) You'll need to ask staff if you can have those extensions installed on your wiki, or you'll need to do a lot of template fixing to remove all of the code that is meant to be interpreted by the semantic extensions.

 * It would probably be easier to start from scratch with the infobox - but I'm no expert.

The problem appears to be with the "#arraymaps"; even when I make edits to the existing infobox they continue to show up... perhaps it would be easier if I just removed them and set up the links manually myself... --Ain Soph Aur 12:01, April 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Use Special:Contact and ask the staff to enable Semantic MediaWiki, Semantic Drilldown, Semantic Forms and Semantic Result Formats extensions, then it should work. You'll also have to copy all the templates that it is using, which are quite a few.


 * It would be much easier to just make a new template. That one is very complicated. -- 13:43, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
