Apparently, the help pages at Bulbagarden Archives redirect to these help pages at Bulbapedia. But the section "[[Help:Editing#Incomplete list of interwiki prefixes|Incomplete list of interwiki prefixes]]" doesn't list any way to interwiki link from a file description on Archives back to relevant Bulbapedia articles. I first guessed b:, bulba:, bulbapedia:, and :en:, none of which worked. Nor does the [[mw:Extension:SpecialInterwiki|extension to list all interwiki prefixes]] appear to be installed. After a couple more tries, during which I contemplated using external link syntax or just citing the titles of the relevant Bulbapedia articles without any link syntax, I finally guessed that bp: is the correct interwiki prefix to link from Archives to Bulbapedia.

:It's to do with the way the infobox is set up. You cannot do it, as the image would need to be uploaded to the archives.

:::I mean put {{subst:CharInfobox| instead of {{CharInfobox|. It will replace it with raw code once you save the page. From there, you can modify it to suit your needs.

== Templates: How on Earth am I Supposed to Edit them!?!? == | |||
Alright, so, before we begin, I'll just get one thing out of the way: Important information is in <span style="color:red">RED</span>. | |||
Okay, so here's the thing: I'm making my userpage and I'm putting in all kinds of usertags and I'm amking sure that they're all really neat and organized, but when I came to the "Battle Revolution Friend Code" Tag, It says on it: "This user's '''Wii''' friend code for '''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' is '''{{{1}}}'''." Now, the thing is, I can't figure out how to edit the {{{1}}} thing (which I recently found out is called a "template") so that I can put in my FC! All of the editing help topics on templates only describe what they are, where they are used, and how to insert one into an edit! THEY ARE (pretty much) NO HELP TO ME AT ALL!!! <span style="color:red">I want to know '''how''' to change the default text inside the braces</span> (these things → {}) <span style="color:red">so that I can make my FC appear</span>! How on Earth do I do this?!?!? I need help!!! ''':'''°( I seriously don't know how to edit wikis that much, so I know for a fact that <span style="color:red">I'll '''DEFINITELY''' need '''<u>IN-DEPTH</u>''' instructions on how the heck I edit templates</span>. I've only been a BP user since 10/10/2010, and I only started making edits on 1/10/2011, so I'm pretty new at this stuff. So basically, I need help with editing templates and I need help from ANYONE with a lot of knowledge about them! So, I guess that's it. Someone, ANYONE, '''PLEASE HELP ME'''!!!! | |||
