Forum:How can I add an infobox in a new wikia?

I tried many times to add an infobox in a new wiki. Nothing. Everything went bad. I need some help with the infoboxes. Can you give me an example of an infobox so I can add it to my wiki ?
 * In order to use an infobox with template transclusion, the template has to exist on the local wiki. You're free to copy the wiki text from Template:Infobox, but remember to attribute it correctly (in the edit summary would be the best place). This particular infobox requires the use of Template:!, which you're free to copy as well. Once you've copied the necessary templates, you can use the by typing and using the appropriate attributes you would like to include. --Imaginationac (Talk) (Edits) (Email) 17:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with the infoboxes. But the infobox needs a template to work. I don't know how and where to add this template. Can anyone give me an advice ?


 * Just create the page Template:! in your wiki and paste the same code that this template. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -@WikiDex 14:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I NEED HELP. Can anybody make the infoboxes in my new wikia work ? The wikia is The Elder Scrolls Fanon Wiki.
 * Done, should work now.--Imaginationac (Talk) (Edits) (Email) 22:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to all for their help with the infoboxes. But now I need again help. How can I create templates (not simple) for my wiki to look better. I've spend years on Wookieepedia and the templates were perfect. I want to create templates just like wookieepedia's but not copied. I want to add my own comments in the templates. And thanks for the templates I have, but they are just ugly. Can anybody tell me how ?

 * Well, there's no real easy way to create easy to use and nice templates if you're not going to copy, but you can speed up the process by using CSS for creating standard styles.--Imaginationac (Talk) (Edits) (Email) 14:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Please remember to sign your comments by adding ~ . It also helps if you provide a link to the page(s) in question.--Imaginationac (Talk) (Edits) (Email) 20:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's impolite to remove someone else's comments if on-topic. Anyway, I do want to help, but you still haven't provided a link to the page(s) in question. If you can't wait for me to respond, go to Wikia's IRC channel, and someone should be able to help you in real-time.--Imaginationac (Talk) (Edits) (Email) (Aselia, the Tales wiki) (Tabula Rasa Wikia) 13:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

No no you are welcome I'm sorry for my impolite reaction but it was not the answer I needed. Anyway the is not any age that has the problem, it is everywhere. When I try to add some info to the infobox and I click Save Page, the info NEVER appears. Can you help me ? George Skywalker 07:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
