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

This template uses Lua:

Module:Userbox (sandbox)

This template is used on approximately 312,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see 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 must not be displayed in userboxes, and are subject to summary removal by any editor without any notice being required.

Usage[edit]

{{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[edit]

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
}}

foo

foo 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 logo

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.

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 logo

We 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
}}

Microformats[edit]

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):

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

...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.
