[edit] You've mistakenly added your page to various template categories

Hi you've managed to get this whole page listed as a template in the following categories:

Categories: WikiProject user templates
Wikipedia related user templates
Edit user templates
Nation of origin user templates
History user templates
User templates
Computer game user templates
Star Wars user templates
MMORPG user templates

I suspect that isn't what you wanted (as this page is obviously not a template), but it was an oversite when customizing some templates for use on this page. (ie instead of entering yourself into those categories, you've entered yourself as templates for those categories!!) :-) --AGoon 01:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm...how did that happen? I am guessing it was stuck somewhere in userbox code. Also, how would i prevent it from happening again? ARBIH 03:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Basically you'll need to remove all the tags <noinclude> and </noinclude> and everything between each pair, which was never meant to get included in your page. With most templates you can include them by simply putting the code {{User xyz}} or perhaps {{User:xyz/abc}} eg {{user Garfield}} to include Template:User_Garfield on your page, which will automatically display the right stuff. That also makes for a much easier to edit page (if you want to customize the user-box or it is likely to be moved or renamed or something you may wish to manually copy the codes as you have done, but then you need to edit out those bits). Hope that helps :-) --AGoon 01:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


Ok I see it...I will go ahead and get rid of the entire code for all the userboxes, and use the simpler way you provided to re-input the userboxes. Thank you for the heads-up. :) By the way, do you know how to organize userboxes into one solid place? For example, like in a vertical line off to the side? Thanks again...ARBIH 03:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I expect there are many methods, one is to put them in a table:
{| class="wikitable"
!a title line if you want one
|-
|{{User Helpful People}}
|-
|{{User Happy People}}
|}

or

{| class="wikitable"
!A multi column table
!Column two title
|-
|{{User Best Editor}}||{{User Great Guy}}
|}
