Glad I could make you smile.

If you are having difficulty finding particular templates on your wiki, it might be a good idea to go through all the templates and put them into clear categories (e.g. - site maintenance, infobox, navbox, notices, etc) and make sure that those categories are also in categories (for example, category:warning could be in category:notices, which would in turn be in category:templates). This could be a pretty big project, so I would enlist the help of a group of people if you need it. The special page Special:UncategorizedTemplates has a cache of uncategorized templates, but I find it updates slowly. I prefer to browse templates by going to Special:Allpages, and setting the namespace to "Templates".

BTW - You can find a list of the most frequently used special pages at Special:Specialpages.

Actually, you've got a few more options than that... but in order not to confuse you: Yes, you can make a template box yourself or you can copy it from elsewhere. Both are acceptable options.

You're welcome! One of the reasons I like wikis is the fact that someone else can write the prose, I can do the typo corrections, and someone else can follow behind me and add even more. :-)

With some exceptions, personal/fan-fic wikis tend not to encourage people to edit articles when they are not the primary creators/collaborators. If you want people to actively edit on your stories, you may want to make some sort of an announcement to the community of your wiki and/or recruit editors via various forums (like Facebook or reddit).
