Hey, sounds like you're new to Wikia -- welcome :)

From what you're saying, it sounds like you were editing in source mode -- that can take a little while to get the hang of. To understand how to use a template from source mode, first take a look at the documentation of the template. For your infobox in particular, look under "Syntax" -- it gives you an example of what to type, and what the typed text will give you.

However, you may find it easier to use templates from Visual Editor mode. To do this while you're editing a page, look towards the top of the page for two tabs, "Source" and "Visual" -- click "Visual". All templates should show up as green puzzle pieces -- click in a puzzle piece, and then click edit, and it should bring up a new window which labelled fields you can fill in.
