There's only a few templates you need to know to edit here, but they all follow a pattern. They are Template:Infobox Profile, Template:Infobox Project, Template:Infobox Product, Template:CuusooDescript, and finally Template:OfficialComment. OfficialComment and CuusooDescript are both easy to learn. The infoboxes are a little bit harder to follow, but can still be learned.

First off, a template has a parameter. A parameter's value is pretty much just like a variable, and a variable varies, or changes. On a template you can see the parameters by looking for things that have 3 brackets of { and }. It would look something like this. Example, on Template:Infobox Project, is a parameter.

Since not every project has the same number of followers, supporters, etc, we use parameters. This allows using the same template on every project but with different values.

For Infobox Project, the syntax will look like this.

Say the project was made by a user named Example, and the project is called new bricks. The Project ID is 123456, (the id can be found in the link. Ex: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/36088 this project is Ghostbusters 30th anniversary and the id is 36088.) New bricks has 400 supporters, 3 bookmarks, 500 views, and 20 comments. It might look like this.
