As a general comment, many Wikia "veterans" advise against copying templates from Wikipedia. The reason is that many of them are needlessly complex; including but not limited to multiple levels of subtemplates. The subtemplates are a particular issue as newer users tend to copy only the top level template and wonder why it doesn't work (which is because they haven't copied the ~10 subtemplates, any of the CSS, and in some cases JS).
