Team Fortress Wiki talk:User info boxes

Shouldn't this...

Be in Team Fortress Wiki: or something? Delicious cake 21:56, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

It's simply a repository for the templates. It's pretty easy to find though. -Firestorm 22:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I say...

Shouldn't there be a Poland userbox? Because I was born from Poland. =C AbeX300 02:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Will create one. Anything you'd like it to say? -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 02:19, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Wait. There is.

This user is Polish. Dzień dobry.

{{User Polish}}

You can change the text if you want. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 02:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it would help a lot of newbies to know how to change the text in pre-made template.

This would be very nice. --Problem 19:31, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Examples

I accidentally undid them because I thought they were vandalism, but they were breaking the page page layout anyway -- Nineaxis 03:06, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

"Uh... a little help here?"

I am not sure how to drag/copy a Userbox or the Weapon Library to my Profile. Can someone please help me? (<- Noob question. :3)

Under each userbox is bracketed name like {{User info box}}, just copy that into your profile. -- Nineaxis 04:18, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry keep forgetting. --Sinic 04:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Added argentinian userbox

And i find it slightly annoying how there is a "South american" nationality box. --Latin Geek 11:28, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Argentinian user boxes sound good to me, and America is a BIG place. So being more specific sounds fine by me.  – Smashman _(talk) 11:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Dueling Badges Userboxes

I want to make the Dueling Badges userboxes display the level of the owner's item, but i don't know how to. Can someone do it for me, please? --SLBros 21:50, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Added Hong Kong userbox

Because honestly, nobody except me is from Hong Kong? (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.---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. – Smashman _(talk) 01:46, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I think this should go ahead. I'll do it later if noone says anything. – Smashman _(talk) 10:04, 11 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. 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. --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! 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? 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: {{User Steam|nvis}}. The rest only accept numbers, since the stats can't be dynamically retrieved. — nVis  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. Piggie 14:43, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
