Category:Language user templates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles in this category should be moved to subcategories when appropriate. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should list very few, if any, article pages directly and should mainly contain subcategories.

Shortcut: CAT:LUT

This is a category for all templates beginning with "User". These templates are not encyclopedic and are not part of the encyclopedic content, but rather part of Wikipedia:Babel See the list for all templates.

If you are putting a user subpage (personal userbox) in this category make sure to enter your page in the category like this:

[[Category:Language user templates|{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]

or for UBX subpages

[[Category:Language user templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]

or for Wikipedia subspace userboxes:

[[Category:Language user templates|{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]

but if other "W" templates exist in the category:

[[Category:Language user templates| {{FULLPAGENAME}}]]

Note to users who subst: user templates:

After you save the user page, please edit it again to ensure that no user template categories have been placed on the user page. User pages are not user templates, so they do not belong in user template categories.

[edit] Subpage Rules

If you make a user template in a user subpage then make sure to put this on it in noinclude parameters:

<br clear="all"/>

== Usage ==
*'''DO NOT''' copy the source of this userbox. Otherwise you risk putting your userpage in a miscategorization, and/or generating duplicate templates/userboxes.
*Put this Userbox on your userpage like this:{{[[User:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]}}
*If you put this userbox in Babel put it in like this <nowiki>{{Babel|:Name}}</nowiki>

[edit] Template Rules

If you make a user template as a template make sure to put this all after the last div tag of your userbox:

<includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{{categories}}}|no||[[Category:Example1|{{PAGENAME}}]][[Category:Example2|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}</includeonly>
<noinclude>
<br clear="all"/>

== Usage ==
*'''DO NOT''' copy the source of this userbox. Otherwise you risk putting your userpage in a miscategorization, and/or generating duplicate templates/userboxes.
*Put this Userbox on your userpage like this:{{[[Template:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]}}
*Put this userbox in Babel like this <nowiki>{{Babel|XX-#}}</nowiki>
<br clear="all"/>

[edit] What not to do

[edit] Placement of user categories

Do not do this:

<div style="float:left;border:solid #C0C8FF 1px;margin:1px">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#F0F8FF"
| style="width:45px;height:45px;background:#C0C8FF;text-align:center;font-size:14pt;white-space:nowrap" | abb.
| style="font-size:8pt;padding:4pt;line-height:1.25em" | This user can speak. [[Category:User en]][[Category:User en-N]]
|}
</div>

Or:

<div style="float:left;border:solid #C0C8FF 1px;margin:1px">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#F0F8FF"
| style="width:45px;height:45px;background:#C0C8FF;text-align:center;font-size:14pt;white-space:nowrap" | abb.
| style="font-size:8pt;padding:4pt;line-height:1.25em" | This user can speak. 
[[Category:User en]][[Category:User en-N]]
|}
</div>

Or:

<div style="float:left;border:solid #C0C8FF 1px;margin:1px">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#F0F8FF"
| style="width:45px;height:45px;background:#C0C8FF;text-align:center;font-size:14pt;white-space:nowrap" | abb.
| style="font-size:8pt;padding:4pt;line-height:1.25em" | This user can speak. 
|}[[Category:User en]][[Category:User en-N]]
</div>

[edit] Wikipedian categories

Do not: put your userbox in a Wikipedian category like:

<noinclude>[[Category:User en]]</noinclude>

[edit] Placement of documentation templates

A new problem to arise has been:

<div style="float:left;border:solid #C0C8FF 1px;margin:1px">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#F0F8FF"
| style="width:45px;height:45px;background:#C0C8FF;text-align:center;font-size:14pt;white-space:nowrap" | '''[[Shona language|sn]]-1'''
| style="font-size:8pt;padding:4pt;line-height:1.25em" | This user can speak/hear/write with a '''[[:Category:User sn-1|basic]]''' level of '''[[:Category:User sn|Shona]]'''.[[Category:User sn|{{PAGENAME}}]][[Category:User sn-1|{{PAGENAME}}]]
|}</div>
<noinclude><br clear="all"/>
[[Category:User templates sn|Shona-1]]
{{languages|Shona|sn}}
<br clear="all"/>

== Usage ==
*'''DO NOT''' copy the source of this userbox. Otherwise you risk putting your userpage in a miscategorization, and/or generating duplicate templates/userboxes.
*Put this Userbox on your userpage like this:{{[[Template:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]}}
*Put this userbox in Babel like this {{Babel|sn-1}}

</noinclude>

Or some combination where you put the category on top with the languages template.
