New page

{|name="userboxes" id="userboxes" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; width: 248px; border: {{{bordercolor|#99B3FF}}} solid 1px; background-color: {{{backgroundcolor|#FFFFFF}}}; color: {{{textcolor|#000000}}}; {{{extra-css|}}}" align="{{{2|{{{align|right}}}}}}"
|<center><big>'''{{{1|{{{toptext|[[BelieveTheSign:Userboxes|Userboxes]]}}}}}}'''</big></center><noinclude>
|}
==Purpose==
To collect images or userboxes into a single column grouping easily. This template is not just for userboxes; it is also an efficient way of creating a column of images to run along the side of an article. {{tl|Gallery}}, by contrast, creates rows of images and is used when the images should not run alongside the text but rather should serve as a break in the text.

==Usage==
<pre><nowiki>{{userboxtop
| align =
| backgroundcolor =
| bordercolor =
| extra-css =
| textcolor =
| toptext =
}}

[userboxes]

{{userboxbottom}}</nowiki></pre>

All of the parameters are '''optional'''.

===Customizing===
Detailed explanations of the parameters are below.

{| class="wikitable"
|-

| <code>align</code>
| <code>left</code>, <code>center</code>, or <code>right</code> (default)
|-
| <code>backgroundcolor</code>

|-

|-

|}

You may also insert breaks by using {{tl|userboxbreak}}. See that template for details.

==Hiding userboxes==
You can hide userboxes which utilize this (as well as a few other) forms of template-based userbox organization. Simply edit your userspace CSS override (for example, [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|monobook.css]] for the Monobook skin) and add the following–

<code><nowiki>#userboxes { display: none; }</nowiki></code>
</noinclude>
