<p>I mean a quality ad to be one that isn't so invasive. It's definitely going to be true that adblockers force non-adblockers' screens to be more cluttered with worse ads. </p>

<p>It is definitely true that using ad blocking software deprives Wikia of money flow they need. =/ </p><p>The fewer people block ads, the higher the quality of the ads they have to be shown. </p><p>I really wish you would consider contributing to the site in this small way. At least whitelist Wikia. </p>

<p>Hey, copying templates from a very developed wiki like Memory Alpha can be difficult, because they've got the required things spread across several pages. </p><p>Why don't you take a look at my two infobox blogs. They can show you how to make the default Infobox template work for you. </p>

<p>Well, you can always write a new blog on the new infoboxes. Generally speaking, infoboxes aren't something one can simply just wake up and decide to do. In fact,  when I was a novice wiki contributor, I learnt how to create infoboxes using information from your blog. The general help page was too complicated at the time for me. </p> </div> <p>I am always tickled to hear that I've helped someone out! Thanks for letting me know. </p>

<p>{{{name|{{{PAGENAME}}}}} is common code; that way you can specify the name but it will default to the article name if unspecified. See mw:Help:Magic_words for detailed info on magic words. </p>

<p>It looks like your parameters are already set and they're used correctly on pages such as c:hypotheticaleverything:2014_Las_Vegas_Earthquake. </p><p>Not totally sure what you want with "Magnitude 7". The current top of the infobox is set to the PAGENAME (that's why it says what it does on the template page). Do you instead want it to respond to the magnitude parameter? </p>

I think you should be able to make a template with the same functionality very easily. I swear I've seen that before.

You would probably have to ask the local admins or community of that specific wiki. That's not really an issue pertaining to Community Central.

A link to your wiki is ''always'' helpful.

A link to your wiki is ''always'' helpful.

<p>Hi, that is the SITENAME of the wiki. You can change it by using Special:contact. </p>

<p>Consider making the input for the "Pixiv" be not the full URL but just the ID (164813), and put the first half of the URL in the template. </p>

<p>A link to your wiki is <i>always</i> helpful. More specifically, a link to the infoboxes. </p>

<p>Test edits to the sandbox would indicate that this isn't possible with DISPLAYTITLE, let alone the less functional $wgRestrictDisplayTitle = true found on most wikis besides Central. </p><p>You might be able to do it with Javascript. </p>

<p>Perhaps Help:Supported_browsers should have some note about minimum supported width. </p>

<p>800x600 is kind of an abysmal resolution in the year 2014, though. At some point it's permissible to move beyond supporting every last, ancient technology. </p><p>Of course, Wikia explicitly names browser versions that they will or won't support, but not resolutions. Guess that's not quite as straightforward. </p>

<p>Humm... I don't think wikia-infobox is best suited for that use. That honestly resembles a navbox more. </p>

<p>Yes, the primary condition of adoption is consent of the active community. If there's no active community, good deal, no notification is needed. But if there is, you need to publicly discuss it with a blog or forum post to make sure there's no objections (in a week or so at least) </p>

<p>Sounds more like you want to use #switch than #if. Check out mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23switch. </p>
