User instrument userboxes allow for easy identification of Wikipedians who play musical instruments. They can be incorporated into user pages in the same way as user language templates. You can add individual userboxes to your user page, or add a Wikipedia:Instruments box to your user page by using {{User Instruments List}}.

Each userbox is in the form of {{User instrument-#}}, where instrument is replaced by the instrument's name or code (see below), and the number # at the end represents the skill level:

  • 1 for novice ability
  • 2 for intermediate ability
  • 3 for advanced ability
  • 4 if you play the instrument professionally

If you play multiple instruments, use {{User Instruments List}} to group them into one box that is aligned right. This template takes in parameters in the form of instrument-#, same as above. For example, {{User Instruments List|clarinet-4|oboe-3|viola-3|piano-1}} would indicate someone who is a professional clarinetist, an advanced oboist and viola player, and a novice pianist.

These userboxes add you to the category associated with your level of ability, and to the overall category for that instrument. To browse the variety of instruments, see below or Category:Wikipedians by musical instrument.

To create templates and categories for an instrument not listed below, see /Adding.

For other userboxes related to music, see Wikipedia:Userboxes/Music.
