View source for URY Wiki:User Boxes

'''User boxes''' (or userboxes) are little uniformly shaped, sized and styled information boxes that can be put on people's user pages to quickly broadcast information about them.

Currently they look hardly anything like Wikipedia's userboxes, but if we don't mind complying to Wikipedia's content licences we could probably use theirs.

== What a userbox looks like ==

This is "Template:Userbox" in its natural habitat.

{{Userbox}}

Our userboxes currently have three parameters:

* ''colour'', which changes the colour of the outside trim and icon area;
* ''picture'', which changes the left hand side picture (defaults to a URY (( swoosh);
* ''content'', which changes the inner text.

== Current userboxes ==

Userboxes should have names beginning with "User ".
