Hello. I've started a wikia today (riffipedia) and I'm trying to get my head around navboxes and templates. The wikia is music based so I want to have a navbox similar to this Template:Sleep (band). I tried copying and pasting the code directly into a page called Template:Sleep (and then editing it section by section) but it didn't work - instead just showing Template:Navbox musical artist as a dead (red) link. Quickly realised that this didn't work, so I've been trying to find help on here and I'm getting similar results. I'm sure it's something obvious I'm missing, and I'm also sure that once I get a navbox to show up properly I can edit it to my needs. But there's my problem; getting it to show up correctly at all. Could anybody help me out in a simple, step-by-step way?

Thanks
