Semi-useful things I've made


My first attempt at a semi-serious template: (don't worry, it works)

Post any questions/comments/suggestions on my talk page.

Usage

edit

This template is used to display your other Wikimedia accounts on your userpage. It looks good as a banner along the top or bottom of a userpage. It has many parameters, and here's what they're for:

{{User:Bob/wikis
|bgcolor=BACKGROUND_COLOR
|bordercolor=BORDER_COLOR
|title=TITLE_TEXT
|titlesize=TITLE_SIZE_(EX. 15pt)
|titlecolor=TITLE_COLOR
|wikipedia=true
|images=true
|meta=META-WIKI_USERNAME
|wikt=WIKTIONARY_USERNAME
|quote=WIKIQUOTE_USERNAME
|books=WIKIBOOKS_USERNAME
|news=WIKINEWS_USERNAME
|source=WIKISOURCE_USERNAME
|species=WIKISPECIES_USERNAME
|commons=COMMONS_USERNAME
|versity=WIKIVERSITY_USERNAME
|foundation=WIKIMEDIA_FOUNDATION_USERNAME
}}

Notes

edit
  • All parameters are optional.
  • Usernames must contain underscores ( _ ) instead of spaces.
  • Images may be added to the title.
  • The parameter bordercolor doesn't work in Firefox 2.x; instead, it defaults to a light gray.
  • It only supports accounts in English Wikimedia wikis. To do other languages could be difficult.

Examples

edit

If you enter

{{User:Bob/wikis
|bgcolor=#ffffff
|bordercolor=#000000
|title=[[Image:Wiki.png|20px]] Here are my other accounts: [[Image:External.svg|10px]]
|titlesize=10pt
|titlecolor=black
|wikipedia=true
|images=true
|meta=Jimbo_Wales
|wikt=George
|quote=
|books=
|news=Bob
|source=Joe
|species=
|commons=123
|versity=
|foundation=
}}

then you get

  Here are my other accounts:  
  Wikipedia   Meta-Wiki   Wiktionary   Wikinews   Wikisource   Commons


The title bar, images, and "Wikipedia" parts may be taken away (also, these are the default colors):

{{User:Bob/wikis
|bgcolor=
|bordercolor=
|title=
|titlesize=
|titlecolor=
|wikipedia=
|images=
|meta=Jimbo_Wales
|wikt=George
|quote=
|books=
|news=Bob
|source=Joe
|species=
|commons=123
|versity=
|foundation=
}}
