 * 1) My guess is that you haven't uploaded the pictures to your wiki. Unless the Survivor wiki uses external URLs, the templates would be referencing images stored specifically for that wiki's use. There is a workaround but, I cannot give you specifics until you address the points Fandyllic made above.
 * 2) Regarding Fandyllic's comment above, let me explain.
 * 3) Wikia/Fandom hosts lots and lots of wikis, some of which have overlapping topics. Simply telling us the topic of the wiki does not guarantee we will find the exact wiki you are talking about. This goes for both the wiki you are trying to copy templates from (the source wiki) as well as the one you are trying to copy templates to (the destination wiki). Therefore, it is very helpful to helpers if you provide links to the wiki's you mention. To your credit, you do provide a link to your wiki in your response.
 * 4) Each wiki can potentially have a large number of templates. Giving us a generic description of the template(s) you are trying to copy does not guarantee we can find the one(s) you are talking about. Again, a direct link to the template(s) in question would be very helpful. Often times, it is a good idea to provide links to the template(s) on both wikis so that helpers can verify that the template(s) has been copied properly.
 * 5) Since each wiki can create their own custom templates, there are relatively few "standard" templates. When asking about copying content from one wiki to another, it is important to note that the two wikis may use different means to accomplish the same tasks. As such, there may be compatibility issues specific to the particular combination of copied template and destination wiki. Simply telling us the visual impact of the issue does not provide us with any meaningful information regarding what the actual issue might be. It could be a Fandom-wide issue with backend code, a single mistyped character, an extension not installed on the destination wiki, or pretty much anything else you can possibly think of. To this end, it is also helpful to provide links to pages which display the desired output (on the source wiki) and the incorrect output (on the destination wiki).
 * 6) The overall idea is that generic questions such as "How do I use tabber?" can be answered without specifics because it is a standard feature independent of which wiki it is used on. However, questions such as "How do I make this template work that I copied from this other wiki to my own?" requires more specifics because there are a lot of possible reasons; far too many to reasonably cover all of them. Help helpers help you by providing links to all the wiki's your question concerns. Furthermore, it helps if you can provide links to the template(s), page(s) where the template(s) is working, and page(s) where the template(s) is not working.

Now I am going to guess that the wiki you are trying to copy from is Survivor Wiki. Is this correct?
