lets operate under the following assumption: I know nothing about wiki
step one go to L4W wiki page : check!
step two: On the left side there's a list of things to click on, look for "Create a new article" it'll have a pop-up asking what to call it yeah....not seeing that anywhere on the page, so instead i tried to start me own wiki (correct or no???)
I then opened the page I created as instructed (by the way, nowhere do you mention signing up/into the wikia site.) and copied the template, being careful to include only the portions between the "copy here" line, and also not including any of the banners on the right hand side (which was no small feat).
I saved ( I assume you meant publish - because there was no save button/prompt anywhere) and reopened the page, but now comes my question, when I try to edit, it shows the template, but says the template doesnt exist and wont let me edit.....
please help
