UESPWiki:Userboxes

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Userboxes are those little boxes you see on people's User pages, like this one:

These let fellow editors know what you're interested in, and what you're knowledgeable about. The easiest way to add Userboxes to your User page is to use one of the pre-made Userbox templates. To add a userbox, simply type the text in the Template column of the chart below to get the result in the Userbox column. Additionally, the pre-made Userboxes have a feature which will automatically add you to special User Categories if they are placed on your User page. This lets people easily find other users with similar interests by looking at the Category pages.

[edit] Rolling Your Own

Creating your own Userboxes is a little more complicated, but not much. The above example at the top of page was created with the following code:

{{Userbox|#CCCCFF|#EEEEFF|[[Image:OBHealthIcon_small.png]]|This user likes hearts.}}

The two color values determine the background of the small image-box and the larger text-box, respectively. The other two fields are used to select the image and the text. There are also two other special Userbox templates, for those who want a little variety:

{{Userbox-r|#CCCCFF|#EEEEFF|[[Image:HeartIcon_small.png]]|This user also likes hearts.}}

{{Userbox-2|#CCCCFF|#EEEEFF|[[Image:HeartIcon_small.png]]|This user ''really'' likes hearts.|[[Image:OBHealthIcon_small.png]]}}

More detailed instructions for creating your own Userboxes can be found on Wikipedia, where these templates were taken from.
