Also a good comment about when things go wrong. I've seen stuff like this from both the porposed and accidental sides.

When I first became an admin (founding the Magi-Nation Wiki), I was quite clueless about all the "fancy coding" as I saw it. Let's just say that when I was first working on our infobox template, I nearly broke the formatting of the whole wiki due to the accidental omission of a single character! : O It's a good thing it wasn't something worse lol.
