Hi

Thanks for the attribs / templates, appreciated :) Govind (talk) 18:34, 24 August 2011 (MSD)

You're welcome. Actually, I just wanted the TV infobox, but it was dependant on a bunch of other templates so I needed to recreate them. Just a bunch of cut/paste from Wikipedia to be honest. I'm happy to help were I can. It's really you and Richard that have done all the work getting this place running and offering it to people out of sheer good will. You two (and Mathew) are the ones that need to be thanked. Web (talk) 06:21, 25 August 2011 (MSD)

Template troubles

I'm trying to get Template:Episode list to work properly, but it's proving to be an impossible task for me. An example is at User:Web/sandbox, which should look like Wikipedia:List of Inner Sanctum episodes. I'm unable to determine why the formatting is off. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

OK the main issue is with templatology using en:WP temapltes is that templates recursively call other templates. It will take a few days to sort this universally, but the basic solution is to bring across from WP the pages on Special:WantedTemplates.
The other aspect is css. While I am currently ignorant of css, having forgotten all I knew about it, the style settings for such as infoboxes are in places like common.css. Rich Farmbrough (talk)
