Templates like that are fairly simple once you get the hang of it, though it's more a case of altering a base template... does that make sense? Like you don't need to write out all the html yourself, you just need to edit a template that already exists. At least that's how i've always done it, ever since a kind user on another wiki let me use their template base, as long as I changed it to make it look different from theirs. :)

Anyway,  to make a template like that what you need to do is go to this template: Character Template.

Then you click the edit button, and it should go straight into source mode. I think the colour scheme of the template currently matches the wiki, so you don't really need to worry about that. :) So, we can skip straight to editing the information it displays!

You see where it says 'Character Name' between three of these { and three of these } ? You need to change that to something like 'Episode Title' or something similar. Further down it will say something like 'Full Character Name' 'Age' etc. In those spaces type things that are relevant to episodes, like 'Written By' or 'Release Date'. Write the same thing in between the { } things underneath them as well.

I also noticed in the example you gave there is a little episode guide at the bottom of it. That is a bit more difficult, so I can do that if you want, as it involves making the font smaller and aligning it and stuff, which is a little tricky! :3

Anyway, then you need to click preview to see how the template will look. When you think it looks good, please  don´t  click the publish button! Instead, go and create a new page. The name of the page should start with Template: and then the name you want for the template. So in this case, maybe 'Episode Template' or something similar? Then, copy and paste all the stuff from the character template you just altered, and add it to your new template page. Click publish, and you're done! :)

I hope that was helpful, and I can't wait to see it! :D
