Ah, I see the problem: you did it wrong. I'll try my best to help. To explain it in layman's terms...
 * 1) I believe you wanted the character infobox(which is seen on all POTC characters as well as many of us Wiki users).
 * 2) Look under the section "Usage" to understand where to put which info you want in it. Note: you don't have to put information in all the categories listed(for example, not many use "bgcolor1" and "bgcolor2").
 * 3) The most important rule that I just realized that not many users know about is the use of "Source mode". That's one of the best ways of making editing advanced Wikia stuff(like infoboxes, galleries, etc), easier. To put my word on how you put it in: you go to an editing page and see the top right-ish corner where the words "Source" and "Visual" are right beside each other...click "Source". You can learn more about it somewhere in here. If you follow any of this, I can guarantee that editing your infobox(as well as galleries and other things), will be so much easier.

And that's pretty much it, as far as I know. Use these guidelines wisely and I hope it works out for you. To further assist, I posted the entire infobox template to help you make it easier to fill in.

Good luck! :)
