Help with wiki formatting
So if I'm understanding you correctly, you're trying to replicate the layout of one of the portal pages (like the main page or Portal:Fallout 3)? -- Porter21 (talk) 10:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Exactly, I was going to start by the main page, Ausir sead that I would need to copy over all portal templates, I'm usued to work with wiki, but just posting information on pre-designed layouts, I never did anything like this before ( setting up portal templates ).

Could you explain me how to it please?

 * The relevant templates are in Category:Portal templates. You need to copy these 4 templates over to your wiki and then copy the source of the main page (as an example). At this point you'll have the same look as our main page but with a lot of red links.


 * Now the easiest way to proceed is to copy all templates in Category:Main portal and then translate them to your language. If you want to alter the names of the templates, you will also have to alter the corresponding entries on the main page.


 * As a general explanation how it works: The main page is basically just the skeleton; it determines which content should be displayed. The templates in Category:Portal templates determine how it all looks; these make up the boxes and other design elements. And finally, the templates in Category:Main portal hold the actual content. The details should become a bit clearer when you take a look at the documentation of the templates in Category:Portal templates. -- Porter21 (talk) 10:48, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
