Forum:Help creating templates

Hello all! I was creating a few templates for my Wiki, Fossil Wiki, when I came to a few problems. Here is what I have so far:

Anyway....What am I doing wrong, because as i view the page, it is only the header thats coming up, a one-line header, and that's it. Help please!? I am lost at making templates! --meghunter99 23:35, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Meg!


 * Do you have an idea of what you'd like the final page to look like? It looks to me like you have parts of one template imported on the fossil wiki, but not everything.  If you were to use the Navbox template the way it is, it would look like Paleogene does at the moment.


 * If you can think of how you'd like the end product to look, I can probably help you set it up. :)

 * ^^Thanks! However, what the current Paleogene site looks like, that is with the blue box around it, is not exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to make something similar to the one found on Wikipedia. The URL is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Paleogene_Footer


 * Any help is welcome, thanks! --meghunter99 02:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
