That could be it then...
2 questions 1) Is there a place to get the same CSS wikipedia uses for infobox 2) Where can I get the proper template syntax for page Template:!. Is it really just "|" ?
Thanks, Josh

Are you even sure the problem is with the templates? Maybe its a problem with your stylesheet(s).

Currently I'm facing some difficulties copy some of the templates I like from Wikipedia...the two issues are
- Some of the template pages are "protected", meaning I cant even
view the source, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Template:! 2) Most of the templates have dependencies on other templates, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, though even though I go thru the dependency list one by one and copy them to my installation, the pages still look funny...
Is there a nice writeup somewhere I can read to help me properly install templates on my installation?
Thanks in advance, Josh

Do you mean the templates on the English Wikipedia? You can get a list from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allpages and then export them via Special:Export
But, why would you want to do that?

Is there a way to download all the templates?

Is there anything else i need to install? I saw while googling some people mentioned needed to install ParserFunctions?

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:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions#Installation
Someone who really knows should weigh in here. I have never been able to get a "Navbox" to work.
