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.


 * OK I purged everything (including css pages) and cleared cache twice. So now:

FR Silverymoon = My Silverymoon FR Template:Location = My Template:Location FR MediaWiki:Wikia.css and MediaWiki:Common.css = My Wikia.css and Common.css I even copied Common.js as well in case that would make a difference.

At this point I've been asking for a lot of help... is there anything I could do for you for helping? Does the forgotten realms wiki have a donation link ?


 * Here's an easier question

How do I remove the borders in the "Races" and "Rulers" section? (Silverymoon)


 * Hmm... That must be a high-level style setting for all tables or something. If you can't find it in your CSS files you can override it in the templates. Add  to the style parameter tag in your Split table and Percentage table templates. I think that should do it.
