Templates

Why are templates that are available on Wikipedia not available on Pensapedia? Thanks. Sethisodd 20:50, 4 August 2008 (CDT)

Hi, and welcome to Pensapedia! The default installation of the MediaWiki software doesn't include any templates. All the templates we have here at Pensapedia have been added manually, many of them copied from Wikipedia -- either directly or with some modification. If there's a Wikipedia template you'd like to incorporate here, you're welcome to copy the relevant code. — admin • talk  21:01, 4 August 2008 (CDT)

It looks like you want to copy the Wikipedia template Template:Infobox Officeholder. Assuming it will keep the same name, you would copy it to Template:Infobox Officeholder. However, you should be aware that many Wikipedia templates incorporate other templates or other arcane features (like ParserFunctions) which can be pretty daunting. Is there a reason why {{Infobox Biography}} isn't sufficient? — admin • talk  21:15, 4 August 2008 (CDT)

I should go ahead and tell you that the Crammet Productions article probably does not fall within our notability guidelines (not to mention an apparent conflict of interest) and may be deleted. I welcome your contributions to Pensapedia, but please keep it objective. — admin • talk  21:21, 4 August 2008 (CDT)
