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.

Add the userbox[edit source]

To add this userbox to your User page:

Go to your user page.
Click to Edit This Page.
Place your cursor where you would like to see the userbox.
Click on the {T} icon in your toolbar (or the Wikitext button).
Enter {{Userbox documentation}}, then save the page.

Additional userboxes can be found in the FamilySearch Wiki:Userboxes/Gallery.

If you have a number of userboxes, you can put {{userboxtop}} before and {{userboxbottom}} after the list to order them together on your user page.
