A userbox is a small box designed to appear only on a chronicler's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly or indirectly help chroniclers collaborate more effectively on articles.
Syntax
The standard syntax for adding an existing userbox to your user page (also known as transclusion) is:
{{User name_of_box}}
When adding multiple userboxes to your page, the {{Userboxtop}}, {{Userboxbreak}}, and {{Userboxbottom}} templates can simplify organizing them on your user page.
Userbox template example
{{Userboxtop
| align = right
| backgroundcolor = #dafafc
| bordercolor = DarkGray
| toptext = [[StarfinderWiki:Userbox|Userboxes]]
}}
{{User admin}}
{{User refresh recent changes}}
{{Userboxbreak
| toptext = PathfinderWiki
}}
{{User PFW}}
{{Userboxbottom}}
Custom userbox example
You can also design a custom userbox with the {{Userbox}} template.
{{Userbox
| border-s = 1
| border-c = navy
| id = [[File:American Flag Button.png|40px|Flag of the United States of America.|link=Wikipedia:United States]]
| id-c = white
| id-fc =
| id-s =
| id-lh =
| id-p =
| info = This chronicler lives in the '''[[Wikipedia:United States|United States]]'''.
| info-c = white
| info-fc = black
| info-s = 8
| info-lh = 1.25em
| info-p = 4pt
}}
