Usage

The {{Usbk}} template is used for showing a userbox and its properties in a table row. The only mandatory parameter is userbox name. Wrap {{usbktop}} and {{usbkbottom}} around uses of this template. You may use {{usbkbreak}} to insert headers/text breaks in lists.

{{Usbk|userbox name}}

Include the full userbox name, i.e. prefix it with User:, Template:, or Wikipedia:.

{{Usbk|userbox name|param1|param2|param3}}

For a userbox that uses up to 3 unnamed parameters. If your userbox accepts more parameters, use {{Usbkext}}.

{{Usbk|userbox name|2=param1=value1|3=param2=value2|4=param3=value3}}

For a userbox set that uses up to 3 named parameters. (This does not always seem to work.)

{{Usbk|userbox name|category=user category}}

If the userbox adds user pages into a user category under Category:Wikipedians. Do not include the Category: prefix.

{{Usbk|userbox name|comment=text}}

Show some other additional text in the third column.

Note: If a namespace is not included in the name of the userbox, the "Transclusions" link will be missing the namespace and show the transclusions of a nonexistent page in article space.

Category suppression

Some userboxes automatically place the page where it is used into a category. These categories are not appropriate for pages such as lists, so some userboxes support a feature to suppress the automatic category. This template invokes category suppression for those userboxes. There are several methods for category suppression, Usbk supports those that use:

• |nocat=true
• |category=
• |categories=no (see Wikipedia:Category suppression)
