Help:Userbox

A userbox (commonly abbreviated as UBX) is a small colored box (see examples to the right) designed to appear only on a contributor's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly (or even indirectly) help users collaborate more effectively on articles.

Using existing userboxes
Userboxes belong on their user's pages. It may be considered uncivil to place userboxes on other users' pages without their permission. The template can be placed after the plain userbox if text is added on a new line immediately after it.

A gallery of existing userboxes can be found in the FamilySearch Wiki:Userboxes/Gallery

The templates userboxtop and userboxbottom can be used to arrange a collection of userboxes.
