`Boxes' that appear

Sorry;;; forgot to mention the essentials: Mediawiki 1.18, PHP 5.3.8, MySQL5.0.
First of all, you need to install extension:ParserFunctions. Let us know if they're still there after doing that.
Wait, no, I got it, thanks much! After the upload I sifted through the REFERENCES and noticed I forgot to add this thing, '|' preceding archivedate. I put it in and everything appears okay, other than the now really slow refresh rate of the Wiki(?).
Thank you.
Some of Wikipedia's templates (esp ref related ones) are notoriously slow. Installing a cache can speed things up a bit (if you haven't already done that. Of course parser stuff is stored in mysql table by default if you don't have a cache, so it won't speed things up that much)
