A template request

[Valarin]

Cheers for the suggestion, Findarato - I managed something similar before posting this, but I wasn't quite satisfied!
Instead, I decided I'd try teach myself a bit of the wiki markup language and write out a new template myself.. With at least moderate success.

I've had a few partially working templates (see: Template:Region_Infobox) but after submitting them found a few errors and bugs that I couldn't quite fathom out. Seemed to work in the preview but trying to add in parameters or save the page must've jumbled things a bit or highlighted an error, I dunno.

I was going to leave it a few hours and try again and perhaps ask here for help - but it seems Error has been keeping an eye peeled and has beat me to it, so thanks hugely! I'm still only picking up how to work it all, so apologies if it was actually a big mess. I haven't tried it yet - but we'll see soon if it works.

Edit: It does seem to be working for the most part, and the template page itself is no longer a repeating mess - thanks! However I must be missing something I meant to include in the code; it seems whatever I enter as parameters for "parent", "system", "access" and "population", the template still shows "unknown" for each. Ideally that would be the default only if no other data is input. Any ideas how I could go about that?
Editedit: Also quickly swapped out the example on the page, to something utterly random. Just 'cause what I was prepping there isn't properly thought through or ready to share yet

LastEditHonestly: Since we're getting on track to have the whole thing working - does anyone have requests as to additional lines of information that could be displayed? They code shouldn't be *too* bad to copy/paste and customise for an individual infobox each time you might want to alter it, but if there's anything universal that could be included do say so! At the moment we can only define a name/image/owner/parent body/system/access rights/population - which does make for a fairly small box.
