Forum:Importing templates from Wikipedia, some don't work properly

Related wiki: http://manga.wikia.com

First off, when I do import a template it looks like this: http://manga.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Citation/core instead of what it looked like on the Wikipedia as this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Citation/core

Second problem is that the templates don't always work. There are some which cause minor problems, and others which are just a mess. Notice the absolute mess at http://manga.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Vampire_Knight_chapters#Volume_list where I end up with an unreadable article. How do I make that template work right? I hit the edit tab on an article, and it shows me all the templates used on that article page, so I know I have imported all of them. I imported thousands of manga related articles from Wikipedia, and looking through every single one of them and then fixing those affected by hand, isn't realistic. Is there a bot to go through and convert the information to something that'll load up properly, or preferably a way to make the necessary templates work? Please help.

 * Copying wikipedia templates isn't ideal - as they reference a lot of other wikipedia templates, and also may rely on extentions that your wiki doesn't have installed. Have a look at templates that have been designed for Wikia before you copy a Wikipedia template. (Your wiki, doesn't have a span class of citation, or a Template:AuthorSep). Also, ask yourself if you need this template (do you need a complex citation template, or would a simple link to the citation be enough?) -- Random Time  10:06, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
