Sorry for having posted a lot here— Okay, so to understand, look at these two sample userboxes;
"Centered"
For some reason this text is centered but the text on the other one isn't
Both of these have info-a = center implying they should be centered, but only the one with the long text is. Why is it that shorter strings of text are never centered?
A late reply, but I'm on my mobile device @Lucy LostWord and I'm seeing what you're seeing. In the top box, the word "Centered" is aligned to the left. In the bottom box, the text is centered. Does it do the same thing if you remove the quotation marks from "Centered"? BetsyRogers (talk) 03:51, 5 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
If I remove the quotation marks, it's still not centered.

We should user Userbox: (or UB:) as a centralized area for people to host userboxes and so that commonly used ones (like babel) can just be used by doing Userbox:babel, it'd also look a lot nicer
Yes, but a proper Userbox: or UB: would be more organized and efficient, Userbox:[example] instead of User:[example]/[example]/userbox. In the end it's mostly for a more efficient database for userboxes User:BronMeattalk07:06, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello, are there any standards on organization of Userboxes in Userbox Galleries in the Wikipedia namespace? I want to add some userboxes to one of them myself and I'm a bit worried that I might do something wrong.
You see, this used to be a normal userbox I made. It looked great, it had two squares on each side stacked on top of each other, then in the middle was the "this user likes Microsoft blah blah blah", but what happened??? It looks messed up and stretched, the same goes for the other Microsoft userboxes I made that incorporate the logo. I would love it if anyone can help me figure out what is going on.
