Shortcut

{{ubxt}}

This template can be used to organize userboxes (or other user-page content) into a single column grouping.

Please do not use this in articles: for historic reasons this template uses different rules for floating alongside other templates and this will lead to unpredictable results. If you need to stack objects in an article for some reason, use {{stack}}. This template will add pages in the main namespace to Category:Articles incorrectly using userbox templates.

Usage

{{Userboxtop
| toptext         = 
| toptextstyle    = 
| align           = 
| left            = 
| backgroundcolor = 
| bordercolor     = 
| extra-css       = 
| textcolor       = 
}}

{{userboxname1}}
{{userboxname2}}
{{userboxname3}}
{{userboxname4}}
{{...etc}}}

{{Userboxbottom}}

Note that {{Userboxbottom}} must be separated from the last userbox by a newline. In the absence of a newline, other text on the page may appear inside the confines of the userbox area.

Hiding userboxes
