Userbox Documentation

This template can be used to quickly create a userbox for display on a user's user page without having to know HTML or Wikitable syntax.

Nonfree images may not be displayed in userboxes, and are subject to summary removal by any editor without any notice being required.

• Always practice or experiment in the Template:Userbox/sandbox or Template:Userbox/testcases
• Once you are satisfied: Copy your code!
• In your Browser's address bar, change "sandbox" or "testcases" to the name of your new Userbox.
  • Example:
  • CHANGE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Userbox/sandbox
  • TO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Userbox/WhateverYourNewBoxNameIs
  • If the name of your new Userbox is taken, create a different name.
• You will be prompted to Start or Create your new Template Userbox!
• Paste your code into the space provided.

Usage

{{userbox
| bodyclass     = <!--Adds an HTML class attribute to the entire template's HTML table, to allow for styling, emission of microformats, etc.-->
| border-c      = <!--border color (default=id-c or #999999)-->
| border-s      = <!--border width in pixels (default=1)-->
| float         = <!--left|right|none (default=left)-->
| id            = <!--id image or text (image size should normally not exceed 90x45px)-->
| id-a          = <!--id horizontal alignment left/center/right/justify (default=center)-->
| id-c          = <!--id background color (default=#DDDDDD)-->
| id-fc         = <!--id font color (default=info-fc or black)-->
| id-h          = <!--id box height in pixels (default=45)-->
| id-lh         = <!--id line height (default=1.25em)-->
| id-op         = <!--id other CSS parameters-->
| id-p          = <!--id cell padding (default=0 1px 0 0)-->
| id-s          = <!--id text size in points (default=14)-->
| id-w          = <!--id box width in pixels (default=45)-->
| info-class    = <!--Adds an HTML class attribute to the "info" HTML table-row, to allow for styling, emission of microformats, etc.-->
| info          = <!--info text or image-->
| info-a        = <!--info horizontal alignment left/center/right/justify (default=left)-->
| info-c        = <!--info background color (default=#EEEEEE)-->
| info-fc       = <!--info font color (default=black)-->
| info-lh       = <!--info line height (default=1.25em)-->
| info-op       = <!--info other CSS parameters-->
| info-p        = <!--info padding (default=0 4px 0 4px)-->
| info-s        = <!--info text size in points (default=8)-->
| nocat         = <!--block page category declarations; see [[WP:NOCAT]] (default=false)-->
| usercategory  = <!--user category (optional, unlinked and without the "Category:" part)-->
| usercategory2 = <!--user category (optional)-->
| usercategory3 = <!--user category (optional)-->
| usercategory4 = <!--user category (optional)-->
| usercategory5 = <!--user category (optional)-->
}}

• All parameters are optional.
• Images should normally be scaled to x45px or less.

Most HTML-based tables use only a handful of these attributes. The following subset can be used to quickly convert an HTML userbox into the format used here:

{{userbox
| border-c = 
| id       = 
| id-c     = 
| id-fc    = 
| id-s     = 
| info     = 
| info-c   = 
| info-fc  = 
| info-lh  = 
| info-s   = 
}}

Examples

Code	Result
{{userbox | border-c = #aaffaa | border-s = 2 | id = foo | id-c = #ffffee | id-s = 20 | info = ''foo bar'' | info-c = #ffeeff | info-s = 12 }}	foofoo bar
Below example shows the default appearance of a userbox, which is (much) higher than the 45px. Compare the height of the one below with the above userbox.
{{userbox | border-c = #aaffaa | border-s = 2 | id = foo logo | id-c = #ffffee | info = ''We are trying to see default distance in between text lines, see the distance in between cell content and its border, and also see total height.'' | info-c = #ffeeff }}	foo logoWe are trying to see default distance in between text lines, see the distance in between cell content and its border, and also see total height.
Below example shows how we can change that userbox and further specify parameters to bring down the overall height of the userbox to the recommended height of 45px, even with four text lines. Cell padding parameter "info-p" can also be set at "1pt 1pt 1pt 2pt", or "1pt 2pt" for better appearance, when there are 4 text lines.
{{userbox | border-c = #aaffaa | border-s = 1 | id = foo logo | id-c = #ffffee | id-lh = 1.1em | id-s = 14 | info = ''We have specified values to lessen the distance between text lines and padding space between cell content and its border.'' | info-c = #ffeeff | info-lh = 1.05em | info-p = 1pt | info-s = 8 }}	foo logoWe have specified values to lessen the distance between text lines and padding space between cell content and its border.
Below example is for advanced users, showing how we can specify other CSS properties,for example, "font-family", to change the font or "text-decoration" to add lines around the text. Below, on the right side are two userboxes: the top one is displayed without either parameters; and the bottom userbox is displayed by using the below code, with the help of the "info-op" field.
{{userbox | border-c = #afa | border-s = 2 | id = foo logo | id-c = #ffe | id-lh = 1.1em | id-s = 14 | info = foo bar | info-c = #fef | info-op = font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; text-decoration: wavy overline green; | info-s = 14 }}	foo logofoo bar   foo logofoo bar

Microformats

bodyclass

This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the userbox as a whole.

info-class

This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the info component.

This template supports the addition of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. To flag a userbox as containing hCard information about a person, for example, add the following parameter:

| bodyclass     = vcard

or

| info-class    = vcard

then (for example):

| title         = …the books of <span class="fn">[[Iain Banks]]</span>

...and so forth.

Examples include:

• {{User:UBX/Iain Banks}} - person
• {{User Microformats}} - group (WikiProject Microformats)
• {{User Brum}} - place (Birmingham)

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia.

Template Data

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Theki/sandbox in articles based on its TemplateData.

Userbox Gallery Documentation

This Yy series of templates can create a userbox table that displays a list of userboxes along with their Wikitext and the pages that invoke each userbox template. Templates also display boxes for WikiProjects, portals, and notice boards.

The yy template series comprises the following nine templates:

{{yytop}} {{yy}} {{yycat}} {{yytxt}} {{yytab}} {{yywp}} {{yyp}} {{yynb}} {{yybottom}}

Template:Yytop

Template:Yytop always comes first to create the three column headings and to size the columns. Template:Yytop may also be used to create a centered table title.

{{yytop|title|headers=}}

where:

• title is the optional table title.
• headers= is the optional column headings switch.
  • headers=yes creates three column headings (default)
  • headers=no creates no column headings.

Example
{{yytop|Userbox Templates}} creates:

Userbox Templates

Wikitext	userbox	where used

Template:Yytop is very similar to Template:Usbktop except:

1. Template:Yytop default sizes the three columns to 390, 250, and 80 pixels respectively.
   Template:Usbktop does no default column sizing.
2. Template:Yytop places the linked labels Wiki markup, userbox, and where used centered at the top of each column.
   Template:Usbktop places the labels Code and Result left justified at the top of the first two columns only.
3. Template:Yytop may be used to create a centered table title.

Template:Yy

Template:Yy creates a single table row with the template Wiki markup, the template box, and a link to the list of pages that link to the called template.

{{yy|template|par1|...|par12}}

where:

• template is the required template name.
  
• par1|...|par12 are up to 12 optional template parameters.

A zero-width space &#82​03; may be used to represent a missing parameter.

Examples
{{yy|User in New Zealand|5|comment=parameter: number from 1 to 64}} creates:

{{User in New Zealand|5}}	This user is a student in New Zealand.	linked pages parameter: number from 1 to 64

{{yy|User coord|51|28|40.12|N|0|0|5.31|W}} creates:

{{User coord|51|28|40.12|N|0|0|5.31|W}}	This user is currently near geocoordinates 51°28′40.12″N 0°0′5.31″W	linked pages

Template:Yy is similar to Template:Usbk except:

1. Template:Yy will pass up to 12 parameters to the called template.
   Template:Usbk will pass no more than three parameters to the called template.
2. Template:Yy forces all cells to align to the left.
   Template:Usbk uses the default object alignment.
3. Template:Yy uses the same category suppression as Template:Usbk.

Template:Yycat

Template:Yycat creates a reference to a category.

{{yycat|category|link=}}

where:

• category is the required category name.
• link= is the optional link to the category. (default=no)

Example
{{yycat|Wikipedians in South Africa|link=yes}} creates:

[[Category:Wikipedians in South Africa]]	none	linked pages

Template:Yytxt

Template:Yytxt creates a row of text in the table.

{{yytop|txt1|txt2|txt3|opt=}}

where:

• txt1 is the optional text for the table or first column.
  
• txt2 is the optional text for the second column
  
• txt3 is the optional text for the third column
  
• opt= is the optional format parameter:
  • opt=1 creates a line of left-justified text (default)
  • opt=2 creates a line of table-centered text
  • opt=3 creates a line of right-justified text
  • opt=4 creates a line of left-justified text for each column
  • opt=5 creates a line of column-centered text for each column
  • opt=6 creates a line of right-justified text for each column
  • opt=7 recreates the column headings of Template:Yytop

If all three optional text parameters are blank or missing, a blank row will be inserted.

Example
{{yytxt|Residence:}} creates:

Residence:

Template:Usbkbreak centers text on only the first two columns and has no other options.

Template:Yytab

See also Template:yytabcities—a shortcut for {{yytab}} for location related userboxes.

Template:Yytab creates a pointer to another table. Template:Yytab may be used to break an overly large table into subtables.

{{yytab|name|address|desc=|image=|size=|alone=}}

where:

• name (first positional argument) is the required name of a region, portal, noticeboard, WikiProject. (See Module:Portal/images)
