Portable Infobox
Hey, I hate to bother you again but do you understand how portable infoboxes work? I've been attempting to figure it out but there really aren't any good tutorials and I can't seem to figure out how even the basic ones work. If you could possibly link me to or give me a basic tutorial that would be heavily appreciated! -Flaming (talk) 20:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I haven't used one before so I don't know. Could you give me an example of what you want so I could try it figure it out? Also, this page may be of use. Bbbtest (talk) 21:20, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * There's two main things I want to do. One, make them usable in the visualeditor template function, and two, make them with headers and sections (which should be doable with the tags page you linked once the first issue is fixed) -Flaming (talk) 21:31, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I think this might be what you need: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData Bbbtest (talk) 22:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I tried it but the test templates are still not working. It's peculiar. The Templatedata is working well enough so i feel like the problem might be in the Portable infobox itself. Maybe the site isn't reading the code right? idk. -Flaming (talk) 13:28, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for help with Infobox templates!
Thank you so much for the help with the Infoboxes! They're admittedly much better than importing from wikipedia (or in my case importing from a wiki which imported from Wikipedia) I'm gonna take a break (I've pretty much finished Infobox Era) but I have a few questions/requests (If these are possible already and you were already planning on putting them in the help page just tell me instead of explaining it here; I can wait for a proper explanation) The first is- Is it possible to section off information? This was one of the problems i had with the portableinfoboxes (besides them not working at all, lol) This would be nice for longer infoboxes (I.E Country infoboxes, eventual economics and military infoboxes, etc.) to have the information in a better presented way. The 2nd is, is it possible to do a horizontal layout? If it isn't possible/would be too much of a headache to implement, that's fine, They would mainly only be useful for the war infoboxes and I can do without them. Don't feel pressured, you've done more work than I could have ever asked already and I'd have been in way more of a pickle without you! Thank you so much again. --Flaming (talk) 00:59, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
