Team Fortress Wiki talk:User info boxes

So, I made one too...

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... :( -- Jokerine 20:28, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

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)

How to make userboxes

How do you make userboxes anyway? i wanna know because i have an idea for some. THE3STOOGES/HAMMERHEAD 04:32, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Right here. -- LordKelvin 04:34, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I wanted to know that too. User:Gamazek

Achievement count

How do you use this userbox? {User TF2 total achievements} Modulus365 14:09, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

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. Meter1060 18:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Parameter

Why isn't there any information about how to correctly enter the required parameter for a user info box? SilverHammer 04:47, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Good question! I've added a brief explanation to the Help:Userboxes page. - Cooper Kid (Blether)·(Contreebs) 01:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Film

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. Shane Alvarado 23:35, 25 July 2011 (PDT)

Yes, I like this new idea. Violencejr123 23:39, 25 July 2011 (PDT)

I probably won't be able to work on some until Tuesday, but of course I would invite anyone to go ahead. Like you would need my invitation. Is anyone in opposition? Shane Alvarado 21:53, 29 July 2011 (PDT)

Hmm I should do the most watched flims like saw or fast in the furious. Violencejr123 21:55, 29 July 2011 (PDT)

I've started it now. The film is Template:W, my current favorite. Let's keep going. Shane Alvarado 13:06, 2 August 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. I'll try to get something done soon. My current goal is to make one for Back to the Future. Shane Alvarado 15:46, 18 September 2011 (PDT)

It's here now. Template is here. With nobody contributing, I feel like I'm just talking to myself here. Shane Alvarado 16:16, 26 September 2011 (PDT)

I need some opinions here. I thinking I should scrap the project and have these deleted. Nobody seems interested right now and the two I've made are going unused. Thoughts, please. Shane Alvarado 23:37, 10 October 2011 (PDT)

Some of my userboxes

I made some userboxes some time ago, but I don't know where to put them.

This user dreams of making their own games.

This user has a YouTube channel, but doesn't want you to find it too easily.

Can anybody help me figure out where to put them? and by the way, the youtube one is dynamic. - 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. Shane Alvarado 13:57, 23 August 2011 (PDT)

I've slung them both into the Personal/Dynamic section. Good work, by the way - I can't believe no-one's thought of making a YouTube one before now! » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 14:11, 23 August 2011 (PDT)

new Achievement userboxes

should someone make some userboxes for the new Australian Christmas achieves and items? • RedXM T • C 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? DE-FEN-DOR! 16:11, 17 December 2011 (PST)

I know I've already replied on your talk page, but I'll stick the 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 {{{1}}} 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. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 04:36, 18 December 2011 (PST)
