Forum:Location Template

Forgive me if I'm in the wrong location to ask this - but what is it that's put in the source code for the Location Template (!)?

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Location

Thanks — User:Othya


 * Here is fine, but the Talk page for the template is a bit tidier.
 * As for your question, I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. What source code? You can see the wiki code for it by clicking edit. But what do you mean by 'it'? — BadCatMan (talk) 13:15, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Yes it does, thank you! I thought it was only showing the vertical bar because it was protected.

Thanks again - User:Othya


 * One more question that is related.. again I apologize for any ignorance in regards to writing wiki material.
 * Why if I copy everything word for word does the location template not align things properly for me? Example: copy of location template
 * Compared to the Template:Location on this wiki.

Thank you - User:Othya

Thank you very much Moviesign! - this was very helpful! - User:Othya

OK my location template looks perfect now (the example)! http://othya.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Location

My only problem now, is that using it as a template on other pages doesn't seem to be working.. for example, I created a copy&paste page Silverymoon.. the formatting looks like it applied itself, but not the aligning or style (even though in the example on the locations template, it did apply perfectly)


 * OK I'll look at that. The thing that makes no sense to me is that exactly what I want is displayed on the template page (the example)... but the example won't work on the doc page or on the Silverymoon page.
