{{Talk archive
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)

Shouldn't there be a Poland userbox? Because I was born from Poland. =C [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 02:18, 8 July 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)
 
 
 
== How to make userboxes ==

== Moved Canucks and Red Wings ==
 
 
 
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)

Can we make a section for film-related user boxes? We have the section for games, so why not? I was going to try to work on some, but I'd like to know what others think. [[User:Shane Alvarado|Shane Alvarado]] 23:35, 25 July 2011 (PDT)

:Okay, it's been over a month now, and no activity. I don't have much time to get something like this done, and when I do have time, I always forget about it completely.

Can anybody help me figure out where to put them? and by the way, the youtube one is dynamic. - [[User:Zerukin|Zerukin]] 21:37, 18 August 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
: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. However, I can never be too sure about things like this, so just regard it as advice rather than a definitive answer. Good job, by the way. [[User:Shane Alvarado|Shane Alvarado]] 13:57, 23 August 2011 (PDT)

should someone make some userboxes for the new Australian Christmas achieves and items? • [[User:RedXM|<span style="color:red;font-size:16px;font-family:'TF2 Build'"><b>RedXM</b></span>]] <small>[[User talk:RedXM|<span style="color:black"><b>T</b></span>]] • [[Special:Contributions/RedXM|<span style="color:black"><b>C</b></span>]]</small> 21:14, 15 December 2011 (PST)
 
 
 
== 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. For example, the reason you have an error on your page is that you spelled "Cloak and dagger" without a capital "D" in "Dagger". Even the tiniest mistakes can make a difference.
