I think what you need to look at for programing, before making templates, is the MediaWiki pages which define the CSS and Javascript codes used on wikis.


 * MediaWiki:Wikia.css
 * MediaWiki:Common.js
 * MediaWiki:Common.css

As for templates, you can browse through their source codes here: Category:Templates.

You can also get advices from Wikia's Community Central too: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central

Other than that, I don't think I can help much.
