Forum:Creating Templates for specific Wikia

I looked around, and still can't find what I am looking for. I am trying to create "Character Templates" for Gaiapedia, the wikia is a bit unorganized, and I can't seem to figure out:
 * 1) Why does the code I copied for the template, doesn't display the character table when I preview?
 * 2) How do I designate Categories, so you can see all the template on one page? I can't figure out how to phrase the question, so I hope you know what I mean.
 * 3) If I ever do figure out how to make this template work, how does one change the table color? And font color?
 * Is it only the Admins that have rights to creating template and activating codes? Cause a lot of codes on other Wikia, don't work on Gaiapedia.


 * Hey ;). Here come the answers:
 * 1) This is because Gaiapedia doesn't have the CSS on Common.css to use on the template. The code possibly contains "class = ...", so you'll have to copy the Common.css code to the Gaiapedia's code, which you can find at MediaWiki:Common.css on the Wiki.


 * 2) If you mean adding category's to a template, you can use.


 * 3) You can change the font colour by using, where #000000 is the hex colour for the font.

For the Wiki table colour, you can use.
 * Well; codes, no, template creation, no, template style codes, yes, because this is done in MediaWiki:Common.css.


 * Hope this helps ;). Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 16:57, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
