I know this will make many people laugh at me, but I managed to put together a userbox about item customization - I saw one for name tags only, but not a general one. It is on my userpage, on the third line. Thing is, I did not really understand how to make it public so others can use it too... :(  -- [[User:Jokerine|Jokerine]] 20:28, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

Because honestly, nobody except me is from Hong Kong? [[User:Nanosheep|(nanosheep_inc)]] 00:16, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== How do I sort it correctly? ==
 
 
 
Hello, I have the weird problem that after I copy some template codes for the Userboxes, they look like a Staircase.
 
, yet the templates are placed in 1 row.[[User:Yotsubato|---Yotsubato]] 02:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Move to [[Team Fortress Wiki:User info boxes]]? ==
 
 
 
I'm not sure why this is a main space article. It should really be moved. &ndash; [[User:Smashman|<font color=#507D2A>Smashman</font>]]<sub>&nbsp;([[User_talk:Smashman|talk]])</sub> 01:46, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

==Scottish Infobox==
 
 
 
The current text in the Scottish infobox reads "This user is Scottish, and naeb'dy'd best be thinkin' o'herwise." This isn't actually a Scots translation, just a bad attempt at a Scottish accent. Could it be chaned to something like "This breuker is Scottish, an naebody shoud think ithergates!" This is a proper translation. I'd do it myself, but I don't know the rules about editing userboxes someone else has made. [[User:Cooper Kid|Cooper Kid]] 12:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Meh, if you see a glaring error then it's always a good idea to fix it yourself. If the creator doesn't like it then they can revert it. It ''is'' a public userbox, after all. --[[User:LordKelvin|LordKelvin]] 17:10, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
:I changed it last week and it seems to have stuck pretty well. Or maybe no-one's noticed. Anyway, mony thanks! [[User:Cooper Kid|Cooper Kid]] 03:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Parameters ==
 
So I figured out how to put the numbers in for the "Dynamic" boxes, but how do you put in a Steam ID? [[User:Piggie|Piggie]] 14:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 
:Nevermind, I figured it out, it's user=, not id= or steamid= or anything like that.
 
:Nevermind, I lied, I still can't figure it out. I tried the userbox template followed by |user=STEAM_0:1:25970203, |user=0:1:25970203, |user=1:25970203 and |user=25970203, and none of them work.
 
 
 
:: The explanation text is somewhat poorly worded. Only a couple of the userboxes take a steamid, for example: {{tlx|User Steam|nvis}}. The rest only accept numbers, since the stats can't be dynamically retrieved. <span style="color:#577;text-shadow:#222 1px 0;white-space:nowrap">— [[File:Gear_Gib_5.png|13px|link=User talk:NVis]] [[User:NVis|nVis]] </span> 14:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
:::OOOOOOOOOH I get it now. You still have to put the numbers and stuff in yourself, but when you click on the box it takes you to that profile. I thought maybe it would automatically retrieve my playtime/achievements/etc for me. Thanks for explaining. [[User:Piggie|Piggie]] 14:43, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I moved the Vancouver Canucks Addict and the Detroit Red Wings addict user boxes to a new section labelled "Sports" Just because of the sheer amount of sports user boxes that could be made and just to make it a little easier to find them. [[User:Meter1060|Meter1060]] 18:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry that you had to wait so long for a response. Aren't they both technically dynamic? They should probably go in the 'Dynamic' subsection of the 'Personal' section.

== Problem with user boxes? ==
 
 
 
When I put in my user boxes they end up in a staircase shape even though when i wrote in the parameters they were all on a row. Also when I use the User box that lets me put in the quality then item it shows up as {{{1}}} instead of the user box. Defender?
 
'''[[User:Defendor|DE-FEN-DOR!]]''' 16:11, 17 December 2011 (PST)
 
:I know I've already replied on your talk page, but I'll stick the [[Help:Userboxes|Userbox help page]] here again just in case anyone else has the same problem.
 
:If a dynamic userbox (i.e. one that uses parameters) displays a <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki> anywhere, it usually means that you've made a mistake with one of the parameters. Double-check spelling, capital letters, and the documentation page for the userbox to ensure that you're using it properly. The same goes for any userbox which doesn't behave as it should; for example, one of the userboxes on your user page isn't displaying an image - this is simply because you spelled "Cloak and dagger" without a capital "D" in "Dagger". Even the tiniest mistakes can make a difference.

== Duplicate and/or useless boxes? ==
 
 
 
Some of the item infoboxes are duplicates of others. Example : {{[[Template:User_Genuine_bison]]}}.<br />
 
Also, do we still need individual item infoboxes, even though we have {{[[Template:UserItem]]}}?

== How to create a user box ==
 
 
 
Mostly just the name is what I'm confused about.
 
 
 
Do I name my to-be template:
 
 
 
"Template:Bucket"
 
   
 
or
 
 
 
 
 
"Template:Anyar_Bucket"?
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks!

::::The name of your user box will be  User:Anyar/Template:Bucket.  click [[User:Anyar/Template:Bucket]] to create your page.  As seen in the last sentence I typed the code <nowiki> [[User:Anyar/Template:Bucket]] </nowiki>, which takes you to the page, but since it isn't created, you can create it.  For the future, you can also search for "User:Anyar/Template:Bucket" and it will let you create the page, or you can type "/Template:Bucket" AFTER your user page html.  For example, your user page is https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User:Anyar, you would then add "/Template:Bucket", to get https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User:Anyar/Template:Bucket.  You can also make your template here.  both of these methods make a subpage under your user page.
 
<br>
 
::::when you are ready to see your box on your personal page, the code will be <nowiki> {{User:Anyar/Template:Bucket}} </nowiki>.  If you want to put it on the [[User info boxes]], follow the code others have used.
