#Coding issues on Private Wiki

So I got my own personal private wiki (that may one day become public), that I'm working with stuff with characters and other things. But you know, problem is: I want to add in this character template/character infobox or whatever it is. Main problem here: It doesn't.

I tried some copy pasting stuff, and nothing worked, all i got is either Temple:Character or Template:Character Infobox all in red and no actual character infobox like you see for wikipedia pages for characters. (See picture to see what I refer to)

Any solutions? Is this a coding problem with my private wiki? Am I doing something wrong?

That is makes a red link means the page for the infobox doesn't exist, so either you misspelled the name of the infobox template, or you never actually made/imported the infobox itself

So i needed to do that! Okay then, thank you

#

So just a page for it and then it'll work, gotcha!

Well there need to be an infobox coded on said template page ofc, otherwise there will be nothing to actually show. Generally advised to use the Extension Portable Infobox for making infoboxes. There should be links to documention for it in the 📌 in #general.

#

Importing from wikipedia, while at first may seem like an easy option, is NOT a good idea though, since the once they have are overly complex, with a lot of layers of dependencies, so you usually end up chasing error upon error for hours at least before getting to really work.

I got this ```{{Infobox character
| title = Eursulon
| image = Eursulon - Portrait.png
| caption = Eursulon, official portrait by Lorena Lammer.
| campaign = ''[[The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One]]''
| type = Main player character
| actor = [[Lou Wilson]]
| name = Eursulon
| pronouns = he/him
| alias = Eursulon Toma, Bear
| creaturetype = [[Spirit]]
| species = Wild One
| family = *[[The Great Bear]] (father)

  • Mother
  • [[Anarion]] (brother)
  • [[Kalaya]] (sister)
    | associates = * [[Grandmother Wren]]
  • [[Suvi]]
  • [[Ame]]
    | firstseen = [[Children's Campaign]] 1x01
    | lastseen = Current
    }}```
#

but never worked, and I tried making a so called template page for it, and all I got was the red word line again.
