Misplaced Pages

This template uses Lua: Module:Userbox (sandbox)

This template is used on approximately 318,000 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.

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.

Sandbox reminder

• 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/Template:Userbox/sandbox
  • TO https://en.wikipedia.org/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.

{{userbox

}}

• 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

{{userbox
| border-c      = #aaffaa
| border-s      = 2
| id            = foo
| id-c          = #ffffee
| id-s          = 20
| info          = ''foo bar''
| info-c        = #ffeeff
| info-s        = 12
}}

{{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
}}

{{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
}}

{{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

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">]</span>
</nowiki>

...and so forth.

Examples include:

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

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