Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The following ten userbox table templates can be used to create a userbox table that displays a list of userboxes along with their invoking Wikitext and a link to a list of the pages that invoke each userbox template. Templates can also display text and boxes that link to pages, sections, categories, projects, portals, and noticeboards.

1. Userbox table top
2. Userbox table userbox
3. Userbox table category
4. Userbox table text
5. Userbox table link
6. Userbox table regional link
7. Userbox table project link
8. Userbox table portal link
9. Userbox table noticeboard link
10. Userbox table bottom

See the userbox table example below to see how these templates work together.

  • headers=yes creates three column headings (default)
