This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed by the end of the week (August 11th).

This page explains what a userbox is and how to use, alter and create one.

What is a Userbox?

A userbox is a box that describes you, a user. It can represent a multitude of things:

• Favorite game
• Favorite series
• Favorite characters
• Favorite consoles
• Stuff about you on and or off the wiki

Many userboxes make up a Userbox Tower, a bunch of organized userboxes lined up vertically. There are quite a few available already at Mariowiki:Userbox, but to really express yourself, you may wish to make your own.

Contents of a Userbox

Code = {{userbox|border=#FF0000|mainbkgd=#FF5555|codebkgd=#FF0000|codecolor=#000000|code=vg-5|msg=This user is a professional gamer.}}

1. The border color sets what it says.
2. Mainbkgd stands for main background, where the message (6) text is set at.
3. Codebkgd likewise stands for the code background, where the left-handed box text or image is set at.
4. Codecolor changes the text color in the left-hand box. If an image is used instead, this still has to be filled in, but it will be ineffective.
5. Code is what is filled in the left-hand box, either text or an image. An image should not be more than 40 X 40 pixels (see below).
6. Msg, likewise, is what is filled in on the right-hand side. Wiki code can be used.

The four six-alphanumeric codes above are hex decimal colors. The maincolor is automatically black, but can be changed using <span> tags.
