Forum:Transferring a template from Wikipedia

I'm trying to copy the Infobox Book template from Wikipedia to my wiki here. I'm aware that I have to copy over any of the sub-templates, but I think what's tripping me up is the part that says

span class="Z3988" ...

I'm still learning about templates, and I just don't know what to do with that. Here is an example of what the broken template looks like right now.

Thanks for any help! Katya0133 18:34, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Same problem
It was recently that I found out about Gaiapedia's Info Box (it was very hidden), but now that I have it, I can't seem to edit it (expand on it) so I can use it for all characters. Here is what it looks like w:c:gaia:Template:Infobox_Bio. When I followed the same edits that were on the template, I couldn't get it to work beyond what is already there.
