|}
A '''userbox''' (commonly abbreviated as '''UBX''') is a small colored box designed to appear on a member's page as a notice about the user. Userboxes generally include one or two small graphics and a few short lines of text. Sometimes they also include wiki markup that places the user in a category. Userboxes are generally created as templates and transcluded onto userpages, although their markup may be substituted directly onto userpages instead. Userboxes should not be used in articles. {{clear}}

==Using existing userboxes==
Userboxes are for the use of users on their own user pages. It may be considered bad Wikiquette to place any userboxes on any other user's page(s) without their permission. The existing list of user boxes are:

'''<nowiki>{{Died}}</nowiki>''' for having a character death
{{userbox
| id = [[File:Pcdeathbig.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member had character [[Player_Achievements|die]].''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{clear}}
'''<nowiki>{{Player Killer}}</nowiki>''' for having killed another player's character
{{userbox
| id = [[File:PKbig.png|x50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member [[Achievements/Player_Achievements|killed]] another member's character.''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{clear}}
'''<nowiki>{{POTM}}</nowiki>''' for having won Player of the Month
{{userbox
| id = [[File:POTM.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member was [[Player of the Month]] for May 2010.''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}
{{userbox
| id = [[File:POTM.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member was [[Player of the Month]] for {{{1}}}.''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}
''Note that this template should have a date: '''<nowiki>{{POTM|May 2010}}</nowiki>'''. The second box shows the correct usage, and insertion of the date.'' {{clear}}
'''<nowiki>{{Six Months}}</nowiki>''' for having been a member for six months
{{userbox
| id = [[File:6mosbig.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member has been playing here for over [[Achievements/Tenure|six months]].''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{clear}}
'''<nowiki>{{One Year}}</nowiki>''' for having been a member for one year
{{userbox
| id = [[File:12mosbig.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member has been playing here for over [[Achievements/Tenure|one year]].''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{clear}}
'''<nowiki>{{Two Years}}</nowiki>''' for having been a member for two years
{{userbox
| id = [[File:24mosbig.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member has been playing here for over [[Achievements/Tenure|two years]].''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{clear}}

===Syntax===
The standard syntax for including a userbox to your user page is: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>''name_of_box''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.
{{userbox
| id = [[File:6mosbig.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member has been playing here for over [[Achievements/Tenure|six months]].''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{userbox
| id = [[File:12mosbig.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member has been playing here for over [[Achievements/Tenure|one year]].''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}
Note that boxes default to stacking side-by-side rather than vertically:

*<code><nowiki>{{Six Months}}{{One Year}}</nowiki></code>, will give:
<br clear="all">

==Creating new userboxes==
The [[:template:userbox]] can be used to create a custom userbox or a new userbox template.

===Syntax===
See the template's page for complete syntax, a simple form is:

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''Userbox''' |''border color''|''info color''|''ID text or image link''|''Information text'' <nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
===Example===
*<code><nowiki>{{userbox|darkred|white|[[Image:Ishani Naetesh.jpg|45px]]|This user thinks [[Ishani Naetesh]] is sexy.}}</nowiki></code>, will give:

{{userbox|darkred|white|[[Image:Ishani Naetesh.jpg|45px]]|This user thinks [[Ishani Naetesh]] is sexy.}}

<br clear="all">

===Easy one column table of boxes===
You can use the templates [[:Template:Userboxtop]], and [[Template:Userboxbottom]], to easily create a nice list of boxes. See the template's page for complete syntax, a simple form is:

<code><nowiki>{{Userboxtop|toptext = Help Page Example }}
{{Player Killer}}
{{POTM}}
{{Two Years}}
{{Userboxbottom}}</nowiki></code> will give:

{{Userboxtop|toptext = Help Page Example }}
{{userbox
| id = [[File:PKbig.png|x50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member [[Achievements/Player_Achievements|killed]] another member's character.''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{userbox
| id = [[File:POTM.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member was [[Player of the Month]] for {{{1}}}.''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}{{userbox
| id = [[File:24mosbig.png|50px]]
| id-s = 20
| id-c = black
| id-p = 3px
| info = ''This member has been playing here for over [[Achievements/Tenure|two years]].''
| info-c = black
| info-fc = silver
| info-s = 8
| border-c = #1a1a1a
| border-s = 1
}}
{{Userboxbottom}}
