Infobox project update: Character infoboxes

Hello everyone!

All of the character infobox templates have been migrated to portable infoboxen. The only non-migrated character infobox left is . I will leave it up to the admin of Templates Wiki to decide whether or not to keep that one; Infobox book character is the portable version.

The next group of infoboxen I will be going after is the ones dealing with locations.

Please see the character infobox templates and make adjustments as needed. Lady Aleena (talk) 22:24, December 8, 2017 (UTC)

Infobox project

Hello there!

I recently saw the link to Infobox book character.

I will do that for every infobox that is suffixed with portable. Portable infoboxes will be required in this wiki starting now. All non-portable infoboxes will be in Infoboxes not migrated maintenance category to encourage users to write portable infoboxes, which is a best practice across Wikia these days.

Also, there is a Infobox character page, however, it is a list of three other character based infoboxes. So, I will rewrite it to be a general purpose infobox so admin of other wikis who want a general purpose Infobox character can export it from here to the other wikis.

How to make a collapsible template

On a wiki that was made in about 2008-2009, I'm having trouble getting collapsible show/hide buttons to show, here's the code:

Notes:

  • The templates that have the name "roundy" at the first part are rounded corner templates
  • Some of those templates are color templates (for the hex codes)
  • Most of this templates code is copied from another wiki's template that has the buttons showing fine.

Can someone please help me?

Looking for this particular type of template

I'd really like to use a template such as the one in the picture on my wiki. I have no clue as how to make it, and I couldn't find it because I don't know how to name it. Something called nav box.

Thanks!

Default templates displayed

Hi, I'm running one Wikia and currently contributing to a couple of others, and I was just wondering if it was possible to change the default ones displayed at the bottom right, under the Templates tab, while editing a certain page. Thanks :)

Possibly the end of the line for me

I admit it. I used to be a Wikia addict. I have over 40,000 edits on WoWWiki and thousands more on other wikis around Wikia.

...and yet, without the aid of a 12 step program, I'm finding it easier and easier to stop contributing to Wikia wikis. That's a pretty amazing thing for me, because the only wikis besides Wikia wikis that I contribute to are the occasional anonymous edit on Wikipedia and the generally template only edits I make on Ballotpedia.org.

I do have some clues why I've slowed down though:

  • I couldn't deal with the exclusionist admin attitudes at WoWWiki, so I've stopped most of my contributing there except for when I was trying to help out at WoW Answers. I may return, but WoW has definitely gotten kind of stale and WoWWiki just…

Explainations

It would be helpful to explain some of the principles used in some of these templates, so new users / new template programmers can understand better how they work / are constructed.

Perhaps having some of the building blocks used in more complex templates as little modules, as i note a few have sub templates or the min code actually in a Core module.

I would like to add a date parameter to the template but have little idea how to do it. I see various maintenance templates such as wikipedia:template:fact catagories pages it is used on into dated categories as well as a main category to help with administration, by grouping them in month related blocks of pages.

Such principles are probably of use to many users on wikia for a variety of templa…

Taxoboxes

How about a standard Wikia version of Wikipedia:Template:Taxobox and its documentation and main related templates for use in Wikia's natural history communities?

I've just copied to the Birds wiki (Wikiafying only a little so far), with an adapted form of w:c:birds:Template:Taxobox/doc where it was easy to do so. Anyone feel like improving them and putting the results here? Next step is the subsidiary set of templates such as Template:Taxobox/species. Any experts out there?
