What's wrong with this mediawiki template?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to learn how to create mediawiki templates but can't even find decent tutorials.

    I've got a test page here:

    http://poker.youallknow.com/index.php?title=Juice

    My template is:

    <table class="infobox biography vcard" style="width:{{#if: {{{box_width|}}} | {{{box_width|}}} | 22em}}; font-size:90%; text-align: left;" cellspacing="2">
    {{
    #ifexist: {{{name|}}} |
    <tr><td>Name<td><td>{{{name|}}}</td></tr>
    | not born
    }}

    {{#if: {{{name|}}} | {{{name|}}} | noname}}

    </table>

    For some reason the #if and #ifexist statements appear on the page, though they are templating code.

    Please help me to understand what I'm doing wrong.

    Cheers,

    fcmisc.
