Forum:Parser Functions Ruining Infobox

According to this I have made many attempts to get Parser Function working. All I need is parser functions this infobox I'm working on. This is what it looks like when it is used (and when you fill every parameter), it is not yet used on articles but we are hoping to finish the blooming infobox template so that we can get rid of Wikipedia infoboxes. I need help.

 * I browsed through your edits on that template. You're trying to use "if" function to hide table rows? You must not use any pipe characters ( | ) inside the function parameters. And what's the meaning of these sections?

 * The biggest problem with the help requests in this forum is actually understanding what people are saying. You must all be chinese or something. :p
 * If you want the parameters of the template that aren't used to not be shown in the infobox then you have to do something like:

 * On a side note, do the templates from wikipedia use the table crap from wikimedia? That thing is a disaster and it's better to use html.

 * @Nidek - It's a matter of personal preference. I prefer the wikicode table syntax since it's smaller, simpler and more readable. — Sovq 13:27, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm only half chinese, but good guess. Also, using HTML runs a greater risk of unclosed tags and can make reading the table much more difficult. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 10 Jul 2011 12:55 PM Pacific


 * Actualy Weas-El figured out two problems, one is the space, and one is the parser thingy, it got fixed.

 * And I fixed the fix.
 * @Sovq, I've heard the 1+1=2 is a matter of personal preference too many times, usually followed by ''to me 1+1=3". I know that what you are saying is a bit different but this whole mess of tables done with wikicode has made me very angry because:
 * * the documentation for tables using wikicode is completely wrong in some things
 * * the parrots keep propagating (that) false information
 * * I was a parrot some time ago (propagating false information)
 * * I now have to do some major changes (from wikicode to proper html) in order for things to work
 * So the rule I tell people is: for small stuff use wikicode; as soon as you put a conditional or a good amount of CSS then change it to html.
