Userboxes are templates designed specifically for user pages. It serves as a communicative purpose by providing facts about themselves. To use the userboxes, simply input the template code into your userpage.
To create a userbox, create a new page and title it "Template:X", replacing X with the userbox's name. Then insert the code below and fill in the necessary information. See this page for a list of colors that work on the wiki.
{{userbox
| border-c = (The border color)
| border-s = (How thick the border is. Standard size is 1)
| id = (The image on the userbox. Standard format is [[File:Name of image|35px]]
| id-c = (Color of the image's background. Note that if you use an image without a transparent background, the color will not show)
| info = (The text that will be on the userbox)
| info-c = (The background color)
| info-fc = (The color of the text)
| info-s = (The size of the text. Standard size is 8)
}}
For example
{{userbox
| border-c = #000080
| border-s = 1
| id = [[File:Mametchi starry eyes.png|35px|link=Mametchi]]
| id-c = #B2FFFF
| info = This user is a fan of '''[[Mametchi]]'''.
| info-c = #FFFDD0
| info-fc = Black
| info-s = 8
}}
It's simple: They're for your userpages! It generally describes your favorites, interests, and what best describes you with fun favorites of your characters as well as titles which best describes you.
To add a userbox in visual mode:
Type in {{ to open up the Template Search menu
Type in the name of the template you'd like to add and click the insert button in the top right corner.
To add a userbox in source mode, simply copy and paste the template's name on to your page.
{{clr}} <-- Always make sure you put this after your userboxes!!
Generally, all character favorites always have {{Favorite in the start. This is so that it is easier to use the editor's built-in auto-complete so you can select your favorite character easy as your type it in. Also, the '''{{clr}}''' is there for a reason so you can avoid the "alignment issues" those userboxes are having. But that's normal and it's always important the {{clr}} template there. Well, that's all how to use the userboxes!
