Userboxes

[edit]

Hey, I just created my first userboxes aswell, so i thought i'd give you a hand. Yours are much prettier than mine, but they're in the wrong place.
It's not really good style to add the code for a userbox direct to the page (it uses up to much space, especially if everyone does it) - it's better to reference it.
To do this:

  • Create a new page for it by adding a link on your userpage. For instance, type {{/Mdhillison/userboxes/DearDaughter}} in the edit window.
  • This will now appear as a broken link on your page (it will be red). Clicking on it will take you to an edit page. Type the code for your userbox here. [By the way: You can change the text for wiki links by typing them like [[Foster_care|foster care]], which looks like foster care]
  • When adding the userbox to a page, instead of copying the whole code in, you can now just add the link: {{usbk|User:Mdhillison/userboxes/DearDaughter}}


When adding the userboxes to lists of userboxes use the code:
{{usbktop}}
|-
|{{usbk|User:Mdhillison/userboxes/DearDaughter}}
|{{usbk|User:Mdhillison/userboxes/...}}
|}
</br>
--~~~~

Adding a new {{usbk|...}}line for each new userbox.

Hope this helps! Enjoy.
