Forum:Are there any easy resources for template creation?

I want to get the hellblazer.wikia.com site kickstarted, but to do so I need to set up templates for the various places, characters and objects - rather like the comic book character templates seen on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Constantine. Unfortunately, the template help given on Wikia and Wikipedia is like so much gibberish to me. Are there any good webpages (preferably step-by-step guides with visuals) that will help me create and style a template?

Alternatively, would any kind soul be able to go on the site and create templates to my specifications? I get the impression that this stuff is dead easy once you know it, but I'll be buggered if I can work out where to start... Mister Six 10:45, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Templates get easier once you learn how they work, etc. I'd suggest you head to http://templates.wikia.com - which is a wiki dedicated to storing templates for other wikis - and have a look round, feel free to copy the code to your own to make the templates you want. If you need additional help, just ask here -- Random Time  11:10, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Personally I learned templates by copying a small template with only one parameter to a user sub-page and then messed around with the code, while asking a few questions either here, on #wikia IRC or a more experienced editor on the wiki. I'll have to agree with you, I didn't use the help pages much. Duskey ( talk ) 12:05, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
