 | This user page employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.

This is the documentation for the user infobox. Several options will not only apprear in your infobox, but categorize you into various categories. Those that categorize you will be marked. If it creates a red linked category, please do not start it immediately. Only start red linked categories if there are a significant amount of people already so categorized. Remember, all parameters are optional.
To see how this infobox looks, please see Lady Aleena's user page.
