Forum:How do you edit infobox details?

The old infobox seems kind of dull and I want to edit it to make a look cool, or at least more organized. Is it possible, and how can you do it? MissingNo. here! Talk with me! 21:48, December 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a help file to get you going, many many many threads about infoboxes, and as such it is a bit hard to help you. First of all: what wiki are you referring to, what infobox you like changed and what do you have in mind.




 * I'm at a "fanfiction wiki", and I want an infobox looking more... detailed. I can't really explain.


 * Well, if you can't explain it, it will be hard to help you.
 * Do you want the infobox to have distinct sections based on background color or something? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 7 Dec 2011 2:48 PM Pacific
 * Well, I want infoboxes to maybe look like this. Does that help? MissingNo. here! Talk with me! 17:25, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Pretty easy if you want to have it look exactly like that.
 * 1. Go to the page, find out what template is being used by clicking edit, then view source.
 * 2. See what is between curly brackets, as first name. In this case:.
 * 3. Now since this is a template being used, you have to copy the name and insert template: before it, into the search bar. Hit the enter button.
 * 4. You actually landed on the page with the right template!
 * 5. Click edit, view source. ctrl + a will select all content. ctrl + c will copy. Copy all content.
 * 6. Go to your wiki, add a page, name it template: . (do not use the brackets here, they are for example use only)
 * 7. Paste content with ctrl + v.
 * 8. Write a message on the edit summary that you copied this template from Gumball wiki along with a direct link to the original template. This is needed for source declaration. Not doing that violates the Terms of Use from Wikia.
 * 9. Add a notice on the template that this is a template you are using from another wiki. Best is to add something like: This template is copied from Dragonball wiki and is a direct copy from http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox:Character . This is also a needed source declaration.
 * 10. Adjust the template to suite the needs for data of your wiki if you feel like that.
 * 11. Save.
 * 12. Insert the page with on a page you like to have this template on. Switch between view source and visual to be able to add the needed data to the template visually.


 * Hope this helps!
