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
1) 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
