Keep It Simple, abbreviated KIS, is an alternative userbox system whose components take up much less space. This could be useful for Wikipedians who prefer their user page to have a simple layout. Some may see no need for fancy userboxes and affiliation flags, but because of that choice, have no way to show in a simple way to which WikiProjects they are members of, assist with, or which languages they speak. Others could like to display well deserved awards received from WikiProjects or from other editors, but don't know how to do that without displaying the awards as received, in full size. We try to mirror most useful userboxes, but any editor is free to add a KIS label.
How to help
There is no registered membership in this WikiProject, because everyone with the required skills can help. Just take a userbox from a WikiProject, Babel or other skills-defining box, make a template (using {{WP:KIS/label}}), and add it to this page or a subpage alphabetically and by category. Then go and tell others where to find it. (Of course, check to see if there is a KIS Label for that specific use available already.)
Requests
Due to the sheer volume of userboxes, if you'd like a specific userbox, and do not see it here, please request it on the project's talk page, with a link to the original userbox.
Displaying labels
To display your label, simply add the following to your user page:
{{WP:Keep It Simple/tray top}}
your labels go here
{{WP:Keep It Simple/tray bottom}}
You may find it helpful to include {{WP:KIS/KIS}} as your first label, which gives some extra information to readers:
Layout themes
There are several themes for displaying user labels with a different appearance. One example is shown below:
Template:WP:Keep It Simple/tray top Template:WP:KIS/labelTemplate:WP:KIS/WPMedicineTemplate:WP:KIS/USTemplate:WP:KIS/Babel/en Template:WP:Keep It Simple/tray bottom
For instructions on how to use that theme, and additional theme varieties, please see the Theme Gallery.
