How do infoboxes work edit

I'm not sure how to put pictures in a infobox. I paste the URL, but nothing happens. I'd appreciate help.

John Doe
ACME, Inc.
How to add an image depends on the specific infobox. You'll likely find an explanation at the relevant template page. For example, Template:Infobox person uses this syntax:
{{infobox person|name=John Doe |image=Example.jpg|imagesize=160px|caption=Example}}
That's the most common method; for corporate logos in Template:Infobox company you'd instead use:
{{infobox company|name=ACME, Inc. |logo=[[File:Example.jpg|160px]]}}
Note that the image must be uploaded before it can be used; see also WP:COPYRIGHT. Huon (talk) 19:25, 15 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

How you can help even more!
(and for which there may or may not be a super secret second extreme helper barnstar)
  • Start over fresh with a new account: Like User:OcaasiTWA17 (these are legitimate alternate testing accounts and are not considered sockpuppets)
  • Finish the game: Give some attention to missions 5-7 (which have been tested much less)
  • Try a different browser: If you used Safari, try Firefox (or Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera...)
  • Show the game to a friend or family member to see how they like it and if they get stuck anywhere

Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 14:37, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
