... is that how they're done? Huh. I just started with the mainpage code, separated the two columns, and made the character profile into a table on the right side. - Xelrog T. Apocalypse 13:12, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Still won't work for me and just comes up with it saying Template:infobox character even when I have customised it and everything. Can someone explain it to me step-by-step? Or, could someone make one for me on the EastEnders Wiki? Solar Dragon 13:33, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

What kind of infoboxes, specifically, are you looking for? It's a very variable term. If you're after the sort of profile or Table of Contents boxes provided in the above link, I'm afraid I can't help you... if you're looking for a Navbox template that you can place at the bottom of every article related to a certain topic or series, I might have just what you're after. - Xelrog T.

Yeah, I mean the profile. Thansk Ose for starting it up but I don't know hot to add Parameters. I have tried but it failed. Solar Dragon 15:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Could you link to the template you are working on?

I will give a quick tutorial here. To add a parameter to an article, add some wikicode like '''Name:''' {{{name|''param1 needed for name''}}}<br/> or '''Name:''' {{{1}}}<br/>. In these examples you would pass the parameter like this: {{template|name=Joe}} or {{template|Joe}}. If you forgot to use the name= parameter in the first example, the default param1 needed for name would be inserted instead of "Joe" or whatever might normally be passed. So you can set a default bu putting a | (vertical bar) and then what you want the default value to be, if no data is passed to the parameter. Does this make sense? -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 11:06 AM PST 27 Apr 2009

No not really. Here is the link: Character Infobox. Solar Dragon 20:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks good for me. If you want to make a parameter "disappear" then add a pipe with no text - e.g. if you don't want {{{Image}}} to appear in the page if you don't pass an Image parameter then put {{{Image|}}}. Are there any more problems? --koイsuru (talk) 17:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, got it mostly set up but can't get parameters to disappear. I tried what you said but it didn't work. I tried the pipe. The link is here: Character Infobox if anyone can help me out. Solar Dragon 20:09, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I corrected Ose's bug on the {{!}} template, I have also did a change on the template so you can see what you have to change. now Table pipes "|" will require to be change for the template call "{{!}}" from the row to the cells you want to disappear now at the start you will have to add "{{#if:VARIABLE|" where VARIABLE stands for your template variable eg {{{Portrayed|}}} and at the end of what you want to disappear you have to add "}}". BTW all this with out the quotes that i use here. You can in the page my history change on how i did it so you have to follow the same on the other variables --Cizagna ^{(Talk) Dofus} » 22:45, 07 May 2009 (UTC)

That's why I had a problem starting the template. I originally intended to make the image parameter optional, but the template kept breaking. I didn't think {{!}} would be coded incorrectly. Jay32183 02:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Tried what you said but i don't know what went wrong. It is Here. Solar Dragon 15:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

In your 2nd edit you added this line {{#if:{{{Duration|}}}|{{!}}- but did not remove the row starting |- (that if you notice its on the added line as {{!}}-, also you miss to add the ending/closing of the parse function like i told you }} (its like the closing tags of html) --Cizagna ^{(Talk) Dofus} » 16:09, 08 May 2009 (UTC)
