User:Buaidh/Userbox table entry

The following ten userbox table templates can be used to create a userbox table that displays a list of userboxes along with their invoking Wikitext and a link to a list of the pages that invoke each userbox template. Templates can also display text and boxes that link to pages, sections, categories, projects, portals, and noticeboards.

Userbox table start

Template:Userbox table start (or Template:Yytop) always comes first in a userbox table to create the three column headings and to size the columns. Template:Userbox table start may also be used to create a centered table title.

{{Userbox table start|title|headers=}}

where:

• title is the optional table title.
• headers= is the optional column headings switch.
  • headers=yes creates three column headings (default)
  • headers=no creates no column headings.

Example:
{{Userbox table start|Userbox Templates}} creates:

Userbox Templates

Wikitext	userbox	where used

Note: Template:Userbox table start is very similar to Template:Usbktop except:

1. Template:Userbox table start default sizes the three columns to 390, 250, and 80 pixels respectively.
   Template:Usbktop does no default column sizing.
2. Template:Userbox table start places the linked labels Wiki markup, userbox, and where used centered at the top of each column.
   Template:Usbktop places the labels Code and Result left justified at the top of the first two columns only.
3. Template:Userbox table start may be used to create a centered table title.

Userbox table entry

Template:Userbox table entry (or Template:Yy) creates a single row in the userbox table with the userbox Wikitext, the userbox, and a link to the list of pages that link to the userbox template.

{{Userbox table|template|par1|...|par12|comment=}}

where:

• template is the required template name.
  
• par1|...|par12 are up to 12 optional template parameters.
• comment= is an optional comment.

A zero-width space &#82​03; may be used to represent a missing parameter.

Example:
{{Userbox table entry|User in New Zealand|5|comment=option= 1–99}} creates:

{{User in New Zealand|5}}	This user is a student in New Zealand.	linked pages option= 1–99

Note: Template:Userbox table entry is similar to Template:Usbk except:

1. Template:Userbox table entry will pass up to 12 parameters to the called template.
   Template:Usbk will pass no more than three parameters to the called template.
2. Template:Userbox table entry forces all cells to align to the left.
   Template:Usbk uses the default object alignment.
3. Template:Userbox table entry uses the same category suppression as Template:Usbk.

Userbox table category

Template:Userbox table category (or Template:Yycat) creates a reference to a category. Userbox table category may be used to show how to link to a category without using a userbox.

{{Userbox table category|category|link=}}

where:

• category is the required category name.
• link= is the optional link to the category. (default=no)

Example
{{Userbox table category|Wikipedians in South Africa|link=yes}} creates:

[[Category:Wikipedians in South Africa]]	none	linked pages

Userbox table text

Template:Userbox table text (or Template:Yytxt) creates a row of text in the userbox table.

{{Userbox table start|txt1|txt2|txt3|opt=}}

where:

• txt1 is the optional text for the table or first column.
  
• txt2 is the optional text for the second column
  
• txt3 is the optional text for the third column
  
• opt= is the optional format parameter:
  • opt=1 creates a line of left-justified text (default)
  • opt=2 creates a line of table-centered text
  • opt=3 creates a line of right-justified text
  • opt=4 creates a line of left-justified text for each column
  • opt=5 creates a line of column-centered text for each column
  • opt=6 creates a line of right-justified text for each column
  • opt=7 recreates the column headings of Template:Userbox table start

If all three optional text parameters are blank or missing, a blank row will be inserted.

Example:
{{Userbox table text|Residence:}} creates:

Residence:

Note: Template:Usbkbreak centers text on only the first two columns and has no other options.

Userbox table link

Template:Userbox table link (or Template:Yytab) creates a link to another table. Template:Userbox table link may be used to break an overly large table into subtables.

{{Userbox table link|name|page|desc=|image=|size=|id-w=|info-s=|alone=}}

where:

• name is the required name of a country, region, WikiProject, portal, or noticeboard. (See Module:Portal/images)
