Forum:Userbox Help!

Hello, I am Pbre. I have recently adopted a wiki and it is in very bad shape. I have noticed that it does not have userboxes and I cannot add them for some reason. Like it doesnt show up when I try to insert that template. I do not think that template has been made but I am not sure how to do it. If anyone can help me I would really appriciate it! Thanks!

 * There's a very easy-to-use example at Wikia Templates. Just copy that and add some stuff to your Common.css as explained in the documentation. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  00:41, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Is that How I can like have Userboxes on my wiki... Cuz when I look for Userboxes under like Templates and then Magic Words it isnt there... I thought I had to like have someone do something to the wiki first....

 * Yes - just copy what is there on the example template and follow the instructions there (i.e. adding stuff to Common.css). Userboxes are just another type of templates. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:45, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * You have the same issue as this user here in this topic Forum:Infobox Template. You have put in template parameters INSIDE your template, instead of formatting/layout/codes. Read through the above link and see if you can understand Gin-san (Talk) 14:33, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Basically, you need to go to the edit view on the template link I gave you, and copy what is in the edit box. After you have done that, then follow the rest of the instructions on the link I gave you. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  11:28, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
