Forum:Adding Templates

Hey there, I'm new to wikia editing and my overall knowledge about managing and working with templates comes to a fantastic nothing.

I stumbled across the LSD: Dream Emulator wiki and was surprised at how empty it was. After looking about i've realise that the founder had not posted an edit since june last year and the only edits are from 2 or 3 recent users this month. After struggling to make a basic infobox that matched the pages colours without access to common.css I wanted to try my hand at a completely different template.

I had an idea of the template I wanted in mind for location pages and after searching for a while I found this template I wanted to use.

After googling I've seen that it's also in use with other popular wikia articles. Now my question is without being a founder or an admin would it be possible to bring this template over to the wiki i'm working on? and if so, how is this done? I'll say again that I have next to no knowledge on editing wikia sites or HTML/Java so I am sorry if this stuff is absolute newbie level.

Thanks. LunacySavageDream (talk) 18:09, July 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Add the following to this page:


 * The way to use it is on the Wikipedia page (here) -- Sam Wang (talk) 19:12, July 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Err, I guess I make another post by editing what is already in place? alright.
 * I tried this, and it worked perfectly for me! A red error appeared at one point above the pictures, but by putting in the alignment and the header it fixed itself. Thank you! LunacySavageDream (talk) 20:22, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
