Hello all! Apologies if this is a dumb question, I opened my Wiki last night so I'm still trying to figure stuff out
I've been running an OC Wiki on Fandom for years, but I'm currently migrating it to Miraheze because yeah. Fandom.
But I'm kind of struggling with the custom Infobox templates I have on my original wiki since they just don't seem to work on Miraheze and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong :S

This is the template I'm trying to use (Ignore the documentation, I never bothered to update it)
https://drimare.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_character

But when I try to add it to Miraheze, it just becomes an HTML mess that looks like this
https://drimare.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_character

I'm not sure what is going on here, or if maybe the Fandom infoboxes are formatted differently?? What would be the best approach here?

Thank you in advance! JayHeart

hi
nothing dumb about this question

#

you need to enable extension called PortableInfobox so fandom infobox coding will work on your miraheze wiki

#

go to admin menu w/ extensions, it must be in parser hooks tab

Just a little note on PortableInfobox, the current version of PortableInfobox extension is deprecated. I am working on a version 2.0 to support the upcoming MediaWiki parsoid changes, but there will be some major changes to some of it, include some syntax. I will announce that later before it is done, but just thought I'd bring it up since PortableInfobox is very popular and being mentioned jere to be aware of the upcoming changes (probably about 2 years still though)

It should still be simple and mostly the same with same minor changes needed. I may even introduce something that can be used to automatically update existing ones with something like a pywikibot script or something but we will see.

Thank you both 🙏
I activated it but my thing is still a mess of code, but at least this helps figure out part of the problem 😂

#

Portable Infobox Builder just gets stuck loading tho 😔
