Forum:Template:Infobox Company help

I am trying to make a Company Template shown just like on Wikipedia. How in the world do I do that and I am a newbie when it comes to making wiki-things (not a stranger of editing articles). When I tried to do this, it always comes out sideways and or show html (or wiki) codes. Please help me. Thanks. Sundogs 16:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Can you point out the template you are trying to import? Several wikipedia templates have some tricks in them that don't yet work on Wikia. Some also requre extra css and sub-templates to operate. --Splarka (talk) 02:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * So you are telling me that this template that I saw on English version of Wikipedia will, somewhat. not be used in the wiki community that I am the administrator of? All I am asking how to get this template, in easy format, to put in my wiki community so that we don't have to use other sources. Sundogs 16:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Dear Sundogs, Splarka does not seem to be telling you anything of the sort. You want help with WHAT? If you answer the question, we may be able to help you. (I presume you are talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_Company - which seems to be not too difficult a template although it may need care in use. Try its talk page for instructions.) Robin Patterson 21:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * As I had guessed, that template (if it is indeed the one you were requesting) will not work directly copied as it uses html table fragments in parser functions, which the mediawiki sanitizer does not like. What Wikia needs to do is install Tidy (it is on the to-do list) allowing checking/fixing for proper HTML tagging post-transclusion and post-parser-function-parsing.


 * This template can be re-done using wikitables, but it isn't terribly easy. Let me know if you want me to import it for you, Sundogs (please verify which template you are wanting). --Splarka (talk) 23:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Dear Robin Patterson, I am looking for an easy company slash corporate profile to use (example: Time Warner, Disney, and American Airlines company profile). That is what I like to use and if you have any more questions please ask them. Sundogs 20:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is the code copy and paste it, also you have to compy Template:! to your local wikia in order to work properly, also remove the dash "-" in the pre tag if you want the example of the code display properly

NB: For co-operatives, please use Template:Infobox Co-operative. For Defunct/Dissolved Companies, please use: Template:Infobox Defunct Company.
