Userboxen[edit]

Hi JR. I just added userboxes to the page to show that info. Adding, for example:
{{userbox|{{w-color|dark}}|{{w-color|light}}|[[Image:MissionIcon.png|50px]]|This user is a '''[[Protector]] of Tyria.'''}}
produces this:

MissionIcon.png This user is a Protector of Tyria.


You can alter the image and the text to produce a userbox which says whatever you want. To create your own, the simplest is to use this:


{{userbox|#AAA|#FFE|[[Image:User Fox Stars.jpg|50px]]|This user plays in the '''North American''' [[territory]].}}

Alter the colors (the #AAA and #FFE) to your taste - remember to use a hexadecimal code preceeded by the # sign though - and the image and text of your choice. User Fox.jpg Fox (talk|contribs) 12:59, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

Edit to add: You can find some basic hex codes ( usually a combination of 6 letters and or numbers) for colors here User Fox.jpg Fox (talk|contribs) 13:07, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

If you put {{User Eu}} on your user page it will put that userbox on and add you to the category of European users. Also, whenever you leave a comment or question on a talk page, if you type ~~~~ at the end it will sign and date your comments for you. User Fox.jpg Fox (talk|contribs) 13:16, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
It is a small "u" in "Eu" User Fox.jpg Fox (talk|contribs) 13:28, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
If you scout around you'll find some great user pages for inspiration - one of my personal favorites is User:Eloc Jcg - a really great looking page User Fox.jpg Fox (talk|contribs) 13:38, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

Question you asked me[edit]

Ok, I saw your question and I think I know your problem. To get the picture on User:Jimmy R/Characters/Jimmy Riddlethemonk, you would want your box formatting to be...

{{NPC infobox | name = Jimmy Riddlethemonk  
          | image = [[Image:Jimmy Riddlethemonk.jpg|200px]]
          | species = Human
          | profession = [[Monk]]
          | icon = [[Image:Monk-icon-small.png]]
          | level = 20
          | campaign = Prophecies}}

Which would like like this...

Jimmy Riddlethemonk
File:Jimmy Riddlethemonk.jpg
Affiliation Not specified
Type Human
Profession
Level(s) 20
Campaign Prophecies


You see, what you did, was forgot the image = thing which, without it, trys to make the picture that name of the page instead of what you want it to be.

Tell me if you need any more help--Eloc 19:06, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
