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.

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?

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

What do you mean by: "look funny"? B. Regarding the syntax - yes. See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:!
