Userboxes

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template can be used to organize userboxes (or other user-page content) into a single column grouping.

Please do not use this in articles: for historic reasons this template uses different rules for floating alongside other templates and this will lead to unpredictable results. If you need to stack objects in an article for some reason, use {{stack}}. This template will add pages in the main namespace to Category:Articles incorrectly using userbox templates.

Usage

{{Userboxtop
| toptext         = 
| toptextstyle    = 
| align           = 
| left            = 
| backgroundcolor = 
| bordercolor     = 
| extra-css       = 
| textcolor       = 
}}

{{userboxname1}}
{{userboxname2}}
{{userboxname3}}
{{userboxname4}}
{{...etc}}}

{{Userboxbottom}}

Note that {{Userboxbottom}} must be separated from the last userbox by a newline. In the absence of a newline, other text on the page may appear inside the confines of the userbox area.

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

toptext	(or the first positional parameter) Overrides the default header "Userboxes". Can include wiki-markup.

You may also insert breaks by using {{userboxbreak}}. See that template for details.

Hiding userboxes

You can hide userboxes which use this (as well as a few other) forms of template-based userbox organization. Simply go to Special:Mypage/skin.css, which redirects to your current skin's CSS file, and add the following:

table.userboxes { display: none; }

Redirects

• {{BoxTop}}
• {{Boxboxtop}}
• {{Boxtop}}
• {{User box top}}
• {{Userbox top}}
