The prime example is the '[[Template:Infobox|infobox]]' ubiquitous to Wikipedia articles. There are many "problems" with templates. The polished result found on Wikipedia is dependent on a huge number of interconnected templates, CSS style pages, and Lua modules - all of which are not available in a "starter pack" that would be suitable or easily customizable for a 3rd-party wiki. | ||
The Wikipedia infoboxes use CSS pages and Lua modules for the presentation and functionality. | |||
On a page like [[:en:WWE_Championship|WWE Championship]] there are over 100 templates and modules in use such as: | |||
* Template:Infobox | |||
* Template:Infobox pro wrestling championship | |||
* Template:Infobox professional wrestling championship | |||
* Module:Infobox | |||
* Module:Infobox/styles.css | |||
* Module:InfoboxImage | |||
* Module:InfoboxImage/data | |||
