I'd like to use Template: Infobox Former Country in the New Hebrides article, but it doesn't work quite right because it doesn't allow for a territory being a colony of two countries rather than one. How can I solve this problem? Btn551 (talk) 00:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the long wait! You couldn't remedy this the normal way; rather, you'd have to copy the raw template and use it, adding in the parameters you'd like. If you wish, I could get you started on that; contact me on my talk page if you'd like help. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 04:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Technically, the way to remedy this entire situation would be to run to {{Infobox Former Country}} and grab the entire code of the template; the stuff you see when you edit that page. Then, you could change what's necessary in the code. I'll try to simplify a version for you. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
