Question

I had just installed MediaWiki. What must I do to have wikipedia style templates like this: http://i.piccy.info/i4/4b/37/fe303fda0c813c0bda717d3a1e3b.png (example). I have already installed ParserFunctions Extension on my MediaWiki CMS. I have tried to look source & copy it, but it didn't work. Thanks.

**sorry for my English (it isn't my native language)*

Was it helpful?

Solution

When you copied the source for that infobox, what you were missing was the template that the {{infobox}} tag uses, which you can find at the Wikipedia page for the Infobox template. (That page will show you the documentation on the template; View Source for the code you'll need to copy.)

If you want to use Wikipedia's templates, you'll need to copy them. (Observing, of course, Wikipedia's licensing terms.)
