Forum:Template Country

So I am trying to make a template with the fallowing items in it:

Flag, Seal, Motto, Anthem, Capital, Largest City, Official Languages, National Language, Demonym, Government, Independence from, Area, Population, GDP (PPP), GDP (nominal), Gini (2010), HDI (2010), Currency, Time Zone, Drives on the, Internet TLD

So the flag and seal would be pictures. I want it basically similar to the wikipedia infobox for countries. Now I keep trying to make it myself, but everytime I make it, it doesn't let me put information into it. I can't use anyone elses templates because I really am bad at detailed computer stuff. So if someone could create it or put me in the right direction like on how to create it, that would be greatly appreciated. My wiki is Troganson Wiki--Jar789 14:18, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you link us to one that you made but can't put info in, one of us can probably modify it for you so you can. Then you should understand the modification so that you can do it yourself in the future.
 * However, if you consult Help:Template parameters, you may be able to fix your problem without help! -- ◄mendel► 18:11, August 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * From what is visible in your deletion log you only created the bit of code that goes in the article You need an infobox actually called Infobox Nation which has the code to create the box. This is best created using a main template called infobox as the basic code. See the templates wiki for the basic code. Note the Templates actual code is only visible in edit mode for most template what you see in the documentation is the code that goes in the article and 'inputs' the info to the actual template.


 * Build infobox templates by finding one similar to what you want that uses the basic Infobox template as its main code and just modify the 'parameters' (list of inputs that look like | datax= inside the template and |capital= in the article). Every row to be displayed in the infobox has a corresponding 'label' with a 'data' item to create the left hand label and the right hand data item in the table or a 'heading' to create a section + Image or logo at the top. - Help:Templates has links to examples examples and Wikipedia:help:infobox links to a number of advanced examples and a detailed explanation of the concept of infoboxes and there use (but note:- if copied from wikipedia they will Not work directly on your wikia - i'm just pointing to them as examples of the wide range of styles/variations that can be created) - BulldozerD11 22:01, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
