Right, when you edit a page you want an image in, if its rich text editor (posh version) then click on the green box and click edit. from there you have the image box to type in, an example of what to put there is File:Hoothi.jpg|250px with  around each side of text. on source edit just paste File:Hoothi.jpg|250px into the image slot in the text based infobox.

I also mean when entering text as i added the The Company of Friends bit and that was what messed it up AdricLovesNyssa

right ok, i think you mean the link ot a story, if so the simple way to do it is e.g. putting around the BFA no link around the : and a  . Revanvolatrelundar 15:30, September 1, 2010 (UTC)''

just moving ths over to your page so that you can get easier acces when you make edits Revanvolatrelundar 15:32, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks AdricLovesNyssa 

BTW the link box on rich text editor has been playing up today and this may have been the cause of some of your link problems. Revanvolatrelundar 15:36, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Rememeber!
Please remember when creating pages for actors:


 * To insert the correct categories.
 * To insert, in italics, the name of the show they appeared in e.g. Doctor Who
 * The heading external links
 * A link to the character IMDb record OR
 * Stub it as.

When creating pages, make sure you add the correct categories. Thanks. MM/ Want to talk? 16:38, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much for adding coverage of characters from Big Finish works. This area definitely needs attention. However, please make sure that you are adding categories to newly created pages. If you move on to a new page without properly categorizing the first page, you'll tend to forget to go back and categorize the first page. This, in turn, means the page will kinda get "lost" and end up on Special:UncategorizedPages. 15:39: Mon 09 Jul 2012

Spacing
Hi there. Please can you leave a space between the prefix and the story name on articles. I've been through dozens of your edits sorting it out now. It should be (BFA: Zagreus) and not (BFA:Zagreus). Thanks. --Revan\Talk 17:13, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Whoa there, partner
You've successively created several pages with the exact same error, so I need to block you so that I can explain what you're doing wrong.

In infoboxes, is — at least for now — what's called a "non-linking" or "freeform" variable. This allows you to put in several different stories. But you must remember to manually link and italicize them, like this:


 * appearances = DW: Colony in Space, The Mind Robber

So if you're going to use that variable:
 * 1) There must be more than one story
 * 2) You have to remember to italicize and link the stories

Please make sure you read MediaWiki:Community-corner. 17:02: Fri 13 Jul 2012

Request
Hi there. I passed your request onto CzechOut since he his our technical administrator. I hope he can help. --Revan\Talk 20:17, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Infobox Individual
There's nothing "broken" with this infobox that needs fixing. As the documentation for makes clear, the  variable expects one and only one answer, so therefore it automatically links the name. The variable allows for more than one response, so therefore it requires you to make your own linkages. This is why the text next to "Main actor" in the example infobox is red, while the text next to "Other TV actors" is blue. Red means it's linked (and is finding no article by the name of "Name of the primary actor to play this character on television")

With any of these infoboxes, the example on the documentation page immediately shows you which variables auto-link and which require you to do the linkages manually. There may come a day when I'm able to come up with some way to make all variables auto-link, but don't hold your breath.

For the moment this infobx is working exactly as intended with these variables: forcing editors to pick one thing in some cases, allowing them to enter a more free-formed response in others. 21:11: Sun 15 Jul 2012
