Forum:Infobox Template

I am going nuts over this. For the past week, I have been trying to figure out how to make a simple infobox template on this wiki. I have been to help site after help site, and all I have been able to get out of them is that I have to create a page titled Template:Infobox, which I have, and from here, I have tried inputing various codes, but to no success. If anyone can shine a little light on my problem, I'd be very, VERY grateful. All I want to do is insert a character infobox...Mad Dog 03:10, April 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a very nice and easy example at Wikia Templates. Just copy the entire template (go to the edit view, copy all the text) and follow the instructions there. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  06:27, April 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I may be wrong, but I suspect you may have confused the actual template with the template paramenters. You have keyed in only template parameters INSIDE your template, there is no formating or layout to dictate how the template should be displayed. This is how a template should look like, e.g. w:c:gintama:Template:Birthday and this is where you would deploy the template, e.g. w:c:gintama:Shimura_Shinpachi's_Birthday. Click on 'Edit' to see the internal contents of each item. Gin-san (Talk) 08:59, April 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Try using the existing infobox template before deciding on a custom template. Here is an example of using the existing template: w:c:ghostrecon:Scott_Mitchell/Infobox_example.
 * If that doesn't fit your needs, then give some detail here about what kind of things you would specifically like to see added and then we can help more. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 3:48 PM PST 21 Apr 2010
