This page is currently under construction!

JoCopedia is currently in the process of incorporating userboxes as an added feature for customizing userpages. Some of the layout is borrowed graciously from TMBW.net. Standard userboxes are being created, but in the meantime, it is possible to create your own using the Template:Userbox top and template. The templates should be entered in the following order:

  • {{userbox top}}
  • {{userbox}} (as many as desired)
  • |}

For example:

{{userbox top}}

{{Userbox
|border= #000

|boxtext= MAN
|boxtextcolor= #fff
|boxbackground= #000

|message= this is a userbox
|messagebackground= #fff
}}

{{Userbox
|border= #000

|boxtext= OH
|boxtextcolor= #fff
|boxbackground= #000

|message= this is another
|messagebackground= #fff
}}

|}
JoCopedia Userboxes
MAN this is a userbox
OH this is another

would yield the set of userboxes appearing alongside this page. Colors can be entered as simple color names, hexadecimal values (# must be included), or RGB values. The contents of the box on the left can be three or fewer capital letters, four or fewer lowercase letters, or a 45-pixel wide image (please use externally hosted images for the time being). Note that the closing statement (|}) is only entered once, after the entire string of userboxes.
