Help! So I'm new to wikia and I guess I kind of understand it. There's this wikia I'm trying to create, but I have no idea what I'm doing. It is for a MOBA (a fan-made one) and I want it to be in a similar style as this wikia:

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/League_of_Legends_Wiki

But I don't know how to do that. I know how to create a page and type stuff, but I'm having a huge problem with templates. I need a specific template, but none of the preset templates are what I need, and if I type a new one into the code it doesn't recognize it at all. I understand the code, and there's actually a page on the website that tells you how to edit pages at a simple scale which works for all wikias, so I understand the coding stuff.

What I want is pretty much the same home page as the wikia above, except I want it a different color. How do you make those picture links? Also, as you can see, there are a bunch of characters in that wiki and if you click on any of the characters, you will go to a page. The blue box at the top with Champion/Background/Strategy, etc. I want that but as an info box on the side with a picture, and with less information. Then, if you look under the blue box, you can see more boxes that contain abilities in almost like a list or a grid. Also, how do you make those pages where you have a bunch of links to pages organized under letters of the alphabet? I'll need that.

Thank you for your help!
