How to construct the box

There are a number of box types to select from when deciding to make a userbox. The most commonly used design is the "Standard box". It has one square shaped area on the left ("id") and a rectangular area on the right ("info").

For ease of use, userboxes are made using maker-templates that have a number of parameters. Once the maker-template is saved, it is automatically transformed to HTML.

Template Parameters	Meaning	Value type
border-c	The border color of the userbox.	CSS color value (#hex or color name)
border-s	The border size of the userbox.	Width in pixels
id-c	The background color of the id box.	CSS color value
id-s	The font size of the id box.	Size in PostScript points
id-fc	The font color of the id box text.	CSS color value
id-p	The distance between border and content of id box.	CSS padding width value. px, pt
id-lh	The distance between text lines of id box.	CSS relative line height/length value. em
info-c	The background color of info box.	CSS color value
info-s	The font size of info box.	Size in PostScript points
info-fc	The font color of info box.	CSS color value
info-p	The distance between border and content of info box.	CSS padding width value. px, pt
info-lh	The distance between text lines of info box.	CSS relative line height/length value. em
id	This is the content of the id box.	Free-form
info	This is the content of info box.	Free-form

The id and info boxes can include text, links, and images using the usual Wikipedia syntax. Generally, the id box will contain a few letters or a 43px image, while the info box will contain a sentence with a link or two.

Userbox sampling templates

To make it easier to quote the generation code for a userbox in a uniform format, a template {{Userbox sample compact}} has been made available, which produces a picture of the userbox along with the code necessary to create it. To use it, just give it exactly the same parameters you would give the {{Userbox}} template. You must use subst:, or the template will not work properly. An example is shown below:

{{subst:Userbox sample compact|id=UBX|id-c=red|info=This is a '''[[WP:UBX|Userbox]]'''.}}

Produces:

{{Userbox | border-c = #999 | border-s = 1 | id-c = red | id-s = 14 | id-fc = black | info-c = #EEE | info-s = 8 | info-fc = black | id = UBX | info = This is a '''[[WP:UBX|Userbox]]'''. | float = left }}

UBX

This is a Userbox.

There are not yet any similar templates available for userboxes created by the templates Userbox-r, Userbox-2 and Userbox-m.
