Template:Ubxrands/doc

Usage

This template uses {{Ubxdisplay}} to display a random userbox from a given selection. It is the stealthy version of {{Ubxdisplay/random}}.

{{Ubxrands | User en | User:Foo/userbox}}

The template can accept up to 32 parameters. If you use 2,4,8,16,24, or 32 userboxen you do not need to specify a number. Otherwise use |num=X, where X is the number of boxes in the selection pool.

Templates that require parameters (such as {{User Wikipedian for}}) are currently unsupported. A workaround is to create a user subpage that calls the template with the necessary parameters. You should also probably not use categorizing userboxen as then your userpage categories would be constantly changing. A workaround is to hard-code the categories.

Example output

{{Ubxrands|User:Xenocidic/Stormy|User:Xenocidic/Pirate|User:Xenocidic/Escher|User:Xenocidic/Loathing}} will render:

This user enjoys optical illusions, especially the impossible constructions of M.C. Escher.
