Hello there. I can see where you are trying to go with this template, but there are a few things to note about it.

  • outline: 8px dotted none; does not appear to do anything. Also, because this is a wikitable, it should use border-style styling tag, otherwise nothing will happen.
  • You have set both a width and max-width to be the same. It can just be kept as width: 40%
  • Because this is a Template, you should be able to append {{Template:SimilarTopic}}, however, the formatting may not be able to use globally, since it is locked to Final Castle-related topics. Check out how the History Template or any of the templates used for Tinkers' Construct Integration does this to hopefully better handle this
  • Minor, but some capitalisation consistency could be useful here, such as using "Category" instead of "category"
  • Regarding links, Mediawiki has it so that if you need to link to a page within this wiki, you append [[Page Name]]. If you need to use a different name for the link, you use [[Page Name|Link Name]]. Linking outside of the wiki requires [url.goes.here Link Name], but if you need to link to the Official Minecraft Wiki, there is a Template that you can use with {{mcw|Existing Page Name}}, but it unfortunately does not support using a different link name to the page name.
  • That being said, some of your links are using [[Page_Name]] which is viable, but not ideal. It does not need the underscores to work since it works off the article name
  • Because you have a HTML comment and a demonstration, you'll need to use the flags <includeonly> and <noinclude> so you can append this table properly. Check out how the infoboxes around the wiki use this.

These are some of the things I have noted from a standpoint. I can direct you around editing this template here, but you can directly talk to me over at the Twilight Forest's Discord in #wiki. For the time being, however, I will be removing all instances of this table used across the wiki until this has been cleaned up. Androsa (talk) 22:51, 26 August 2018 (EDT)
