The tabber extension is enabled on Fandom by default, you can find instructions here: community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Tabber Instead of using collapsible tabs the NoPixel wiki has an example showing how to make subpage tabs instead.

Other times the navbox calls another template for example {{Navbox|Content}} then you edit the content part.

You can't upload a video that will be hosted directly on Fandom wikis but you can make a "file link" to KZitem videos and attach them into articles similar to what you do with images. From the top menu select Explore -> Videos and hit "Add a video" then specify the direct link to the KZitem URL that you want. This will create a new page named "File:The title of the Video". To add this to an article in source mode use the syntax as you would with images, example: [[File:The title of the Video]] The title and description used in the KZitem Video will also be imported into the page. Here is another page that has a video added to it that you can look at in source mode: vrchat-legends.fandom.com/wiki/Among_Us_VR?action=edit

You have to edit the actual template. If the code for linking the template is {{Infobox_character}} you have to edit the page url Template:Infobox_character and add those to the infobox. I recommend editing the infobox in source mode as well, the built in editor is a bit glitchy. If you need help you can probably ask a moderator or admin for that specific wiki to help you out. Some also lock the template to prevent anyone adding new random entries to the infoboxes. Best of luck!

Wikis are public documents intended for everyone to edit. When you post on a Fandom wiki, you donate your writing copyright to the community according to the CC-BY-SA license. If someone vandalizes your edits, you can revert them or if an edit war ensues notify an admin for that wiki to block the offending person. To find a list of admins go to vrchat-legends.fandom.com/wiki/Special:ListUsers/sysop To have complete control over a wiki, you have to self host it (like using MediaWiki with extensions) on your own server or website.

When editing the source, you can see the infobox name inside braces brackets. Example: {Infobox_character} is named "Infobox_character". To edit this template type this after the URL to the wiki. Example: examplewiki . fandom . com/wiki/Template:Infobox_character (case sensitive without spaces) then hit the three dots on the top right and edit. Now you can either edit it using the infobox builder or source mode.

So for example: Adam Skyline plays the characters 'Tommy Shelby' / 'Lucifer' and 'King' when i visit the profile of 'King' then in the 'Alternative characters' you only see 'Tommy Shelby' and 'Lucifer' and so forth, so if you visit the profile of 'Tommy Shelby' you only see 'Lucifer' and 'King' in the 'Alternative characters'

Fandom accounts are currently on a 96 hour cooldown before they are allowed to edit because of increased spam. Unfortunately you'll just have to wait it out. I can't do anything about this since it's a global webhost thing. Best of luck!

@Cragsand

You can't, the purpose of the talk page is to enable free discussion. If the edits are not the matter of discussions and someone is griefing or making edits in bad faith you should leave a message on one of the admins to block them. It is very bad conduct to edit someone else's talk page with any other intent than to have a discussion.

The wiki you are writing on doesn't have that template, so you see an error message. Most likely it has a different name. Check other articles which template they use for characters. In the unlikely event that there is none, you can create a new character infobox. If so I recommend copying the source code from the one we have on VRChat legends and fine tuning it to fit your wiki. Best of luck! vrchat-legends.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_character?action=edit

You might have some browser extension that is malfunctioning in combination with not being logged in. Make sure you register a fandom account and hover over the three dots icon on the top right of the article. Try running your browser in safe mode or disable adblock temporarily or make sure you're only running a single adblocker. I recommend running uBlock origin only. In it you can add multiple filters to it in its settings. Best of luck!

Categories are basically tags that can be named anything you type. You make a category into a page by opening the URL Category:MyCategory and creating the page. You can also add categories in source mode by adding the tags at the bottom of the page manually like this: [[Category:MyCategory]] [[Category:AnotherCategory]]
