Hello,

I am the main bureaucrat/administrator of the Legaia wiki, which is devoted to a video game series, and I'm having a specific problem with my template section.

I made infoboxes for individual characters/locations/etc, and whenever I use an infobox on a page, the specific page automatically gets put into the Template category. This makes my template section cluttered with individual character pages, like so...Example: http://legaia.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Templates

You'll see at the top of the template section that the pages for characters I have used infobox templates for show up. It makes the whole section cluttered. The problem is that whenever I edit a specific character page, it only lets me add or remove the categories pertaining to what I manually entered and the Template category it is automatically put into when I use an infobox is nowhere to be found.

Ideally, I want my template section to be free of those invidual character pages, like this: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Templates

How can I remove those character pages while still being able to use infoboxes?

Thanks,

Sise-Neg


 * The answer is on the finalfantasy wiki link you posted above ^^ - the Category within the template should be in a Noinclude section after the documentation (which can be in a noinclude section) or (on a seperated doc sub page using the documentation template method - as used on wikipedia and some wikia wikis - in which case the category (templates) would go on the /doc subpage within Includeonly tags instead). - see Help:category over on wikipedia . Note:category changes can take time to propgate through category pages depending on the job que - 88.104.134.191 17:26, March 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have the noinclude code from the link above pasted to the bottom of the infobox pages but they're still showing up. Here's an infobox page that's used for character pages which still show up in the template section:http://legaia.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_LoL_Main_Character

 * Is there something wrong with my coding or do I just need to wait longer for the change to take effect?

 * Have you checked any other templates used on the character pages as they will also add any pages they are used on into the templates category if they have it within them ? - IHBTD6-Drott 20:32, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the only other templates I use are for audio and quotes but I put that in a noinclude section for them as well.Sise-Neg 21:10, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
