First, I have to ask if you're using the Source editor. If you aren't you should go to your account Preferences (go to your picture and click "My Preferences") and choose the Source editor under "Editing". The source editor isn't as pretty as the VisualEditor, but advanced editing requires it.

Second, how did you "replace" the template? The way the template is supposed to be used is either by copy/pasting the following code onto a new page:

OR by using the box on the Main page OR clicking the link when editing a new page to preload Template:Rip form. Preloading will show the following code in Source edit mode: (Switch to source mode to edit, please remove this after reading.)

(Replace this with the rip's title in BOLD + a short description)

Jokes
To add an image, you would type the image's name next to the code that reads " ", like so: {{Rip
 * title=Example
 * image=Example.jpg

2) I don't know why the Track template loads so slowly for you, but I can tell you that you cannot use the template without Source edit mode. To use the template, please look at the following example:

Normally you start out with this code: ...and add new rows using the following pattern: {{t|Track|Number|Title|Ripper|Length}}, where "" is replaced by the track's number, "" is replaced by the track's title, "" is replaced by the ripper who created the track, and "" is the length of the rip.

On SOME pages, we want to add a Joke section, so we add the following at the end of the Track template: So for example:
 * 

All of this information is available at Template:Rip/doc (for the rip template) and Template:Track/doc (for the Track template). These pages serve as documentation to help you use them, and most templates have these documentation pages as well.

Hopefully this helps. ~ironwestie (talk to me)(contribs) 05:33, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
