Tardis:Userboxes

Userboxes — that is, small, templated messages indicating something about a user's preferences or abilities —. They then spread to other wikis, including many in the Wikia network.

We here at Tardis aren't opposed to userboxes, but neither are they a particularly important part of most user pages here. We've therefore never created much in the way of formal rules about them.

However we insist that userboxes be:
 * created only in the template namespace
 * put only into category:userboxes, or one of its sub-categories
 * used only on your main user page

Furthermore, if your userbox automatically applies a category to whatever user page it's put on, the resulting category can only be under category:users. For instance, lets say you put the userbox onto GingerM. This would place Ginger into category:User de-1, which itself ultimately is under category:users.


 * Userboxes should not be confused with . Infoboxes give several points of information.  Userboxes deliver only one.
