Help request
how do i put boxes? you know with links in them? Please reply ASAP! Thanks!


 * Hi there. I'm not quite sure which kind of boxes you mean; do you mean an WP:INFOBOX like the one shown here? If so, see that link; there are lots of infoboxes for different topics. The example here is template:Infobox Person - and if you click that link, you'll see the parameters available.


 * The best thing to do is copy the code into a user subpage, such as User:Superman2009/boxtest or something - click that redlink, make the page, and try things out. It's not a live area, so you can test stuff there.


 * Links, in general, are made by putting the name of the page within double square brackets. For example, putting sausage makes a link to the article of that name, like this: sausage. You can also link a series of words to a different article, for example, His hometown displays as His hometown. See WP:LINKING. Links can be used in the parameters of an infobox in just the same way - the above has this, for example;


 * birth_place = Alpha Centauri
 * occupation = Wikipedian


 * I hope this helps answer your question. For more help, you can either;

 * Use a - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put , and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~ at the end;

Navbox


 * Per your note on my talk: the boxes at the bottom are called 'navboxes', so see WP:NAVBOX. They work in a very similar way, but usually do not have parameters, so they are easier. An example would be ;

a) how do i make my own navbox?

So, making your own navboxes; they can get really complicated, and it is documented in template:navbox - but I'd suggest you start off by copying this and fiddling with it;

...which looks like...

b) isthere an infobox for bands?

Template:Infobox Musical artist
