Wiki Help Tables and templates Userboxes

A userbox (commonly abbreviated as UBX) is a small colored box designed to appear only on a Contributor's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly (or even indirectly) help Contributors collaborate more effectively on articles.

Any text can be added to these templates as is shown in this example above, except for the "bottom" template. If you want extra space or text at the bottom use an extra "break" template" (omitting the last "break" template in the example will eliminate the bottom space and text).

The coding above that is maroon in color is used to create a collapsible section that can be opened on demand (by clicking the "show" button).

Just copy and paste the coding above into your user page and then copy the template coding from the Gallery below for the desired userbox and paste it into Your user page in the desired "break" section.
