Hi Thomas,
I copied various templates such as Template:Infobox from wikipedia, though my page still looks funny... Is there anything else i need to install? I saw while googling some people mentioned needed to install ParserFunctions?
Thanks, Josh

Hi,
How do I install and use infobox on my installation of mediaiwiki?
Thanks, Josh
I don't think there's anything to install, it's just template. Just copy the code from a site you like the look of.
Actually, getting all the templates that are used on Wikipedia is quite difficult. I have failed so far, but have figured out that you need at least some parser function extensions.
Look at Special:Version on Wikipedia and you can see what they have installed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version
There is more information at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Parser_function_extensions
You should probably start with the instructions at:

Someone who really knows should weigh in here. I have never been able to get a "Navbox" to work.
