<!-- Categories go at the bottom of this page and interwikis go in Wikidata. -->

This template can be used to quickly create a [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|userbox]] for display on a user's [[Wikipedia:User pages|user page]] without having to know HTML or Wikitable syntax.

'''''[[WP:NFCC|Nonfree]] images must not be displayed in userboxes, and are subject to summary removal by any editor without any notice being required.'''''

== Sandbox reminder==
* Always practice or experiment in the [[Template:Userbox/sandbox]] or [[Template:Userbox/testcases]]
* Once you are satisfied: Copy your code!
* In your Browser's address bar, change "sandbox" or "testcases" to the name of your new Userbox.
** Example: 
** '''CHANGE''' [{{Fullurl:Template:Userbox/sandbox}} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Userbox/sandbox]<!--Display http://, but allow possibility of https:// access.-->
** '''TO''' [{{Fullurl:Template:Userbox/sandbox}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Userbox/WhateverYourNewBoxNameIs]
** If the name of your new Userbox is taken, create a different name.
* You will be prompted to Start or Create your new Template Userbox!
* Paste your code into the space provided.

<!-- Explain what this template's parameters do -- if no params, delete the definition. -->

Most HTML-based tables use only a handful of these attributes. The following subset can be used to quickly convert an HTML userbox into the format used here:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{userbox
| border-c = 
| id       = 
| id-c     = 
| id-fc    = 
| id-s     = 
| info     = 
| info-c   = 
| info-fc  = 
| info-lh  = 
| info-s   = 
}}</syntaxhighlight>

== Examples ==

==Microformats==
; bodyclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the userbox as a whole.
; info-class : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the info component.

This template supports the addition of [[microformat]] information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. To flag a userbox as containing [[hCard]] information about a person, for example, add the following parameter:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| bodyclass     = vcard
</syntaxhighlight>

''or''

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| info-class    = vcard
</syntaxhighlight>

''then'' (for example):

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><nowiki>
| title         = …the books of <span class="fn">[[Iain Banks]]</span>
</nowiki></syntaxhighlight>

...and so forth.

Examples include:

* <code>{{tlu|User:UBX/Iain Banks}}</code> - person
* {{tlx|User Microformats}} - group (WikiProject Microformats)
* {{tlx|User Brum}} - place (Birmingham)

See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats]] for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia.
