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
A gallery of existing userboxes can be found in the FamilySearch Wiki:Userboxes/Gallery. To add this userbox, enter on your user page.

The template can be placed after the plain userbox if text is added on a new line immediately after it.

If you have a number of userboxes, you can put userboxtop before and userboxbottom after the list to order them together on your user page.

You will generally not add a userbox to another's user page, except in the case of recognition userboxes.

Creating a new userbox
The basic template used in creating new userboxes is Userbox. Basic examples are included in the template documentation. Alternatively a request for a new userbox can be added to the FamilySearch Wiki:Userboxes talk page.
