A '''userbox''' (commonly abbreviated as '''UBX''') is a small colored box designed to appear only on a contributor's [[User page]] to share information about a user, or help users collaborate more effectively.
This is a '''userbox''', a small colored box you can add to your [[User page]] to share information about yourself, or help other users learn about you so you can collaborate.
