Thread:Project:Forum/Infobox not working

I'm trying to copy an infobox template from Wikipedia to a personal mediawiki, but when I preview it, all I see is the code I entered. So there has to be something that I have to enter elsewhere to actuate the infobox code. I'm not knowledgeable in Wiki, but I am highly trainable and I greatly appreciate any assistance you can give me to get this up and running properly.

Here is the code I entered on my page:

And here is what shows up when the page is saved:

Template:Infobox website

Thanks
