man idk how to describe this

the coding on the template is only half of what needs to be done. because the coding isnt default wiki stuff you have to fiddle around with the coding of the site itself to allow these infoboxes to exist.

all coding is considered free and open by wiki so youre free to look at what ive done and our wikis coding, but id appreciate it if the coding wasnt taken exactly and was made to fit you wiki, rather than just being our wikis infoboxes on your wiki. i actually used and edited the coding that the miraculous ladybug wiki uses, which is what i mean by making the coding fit the wiki. same code, looks different/uses different colours/has a different aesthetic to match the site. me and alpha picked out the alignment colours individually based on the alignment colours we assigned on discord, which we picked out and edited based on eah's canon merch.

this being said i cant imagine the coding is going to be super easy, especially if you havent had a lot of practice. that isnt to say i have (i havent & am terrible at coding) but idk how much experience youve had. ive wanted to implement infoboxes like this since i became an admin and have only just worked out how to do it.

because of this, i would thoroughly suggest browsing lots of other wikis and seeing their infoboxes & coding. not only will this let you find more inspo for what will suit your wiki, but it will let you see how to use and structure the code over a variety of examples.

should you need coding help i am happy to step in and try help (with coding, with design), but theres only so much i can do as a nonadmin who doesnt even use the site.

here is a link to our sites coding.
