 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  ==
-To add this userbox to your User page, enter <nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>. Additional userboxes can be found in the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Userboxes/Gallery]].
+To add this userbox to your User page:
-If you have a number of userboxes, you can put&nbsp;{{tl|userboxtop}}&nbsp;before and&nbsp;{{tl|userboxbottom}}&nbsp;after the list to order them together on your user page.
+:#[[Special:MyPage|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 <nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, then save the page.
-The {{tlx|clear}} template can be placed after the plain userbox if text is added on a new line immediately after it.
+Additional userboxes can be found in the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Userboxes/Gallery]].
-You will generally not add a userbox to another's user page, except in the case of recognition userboxes.
+If you have a number of userboxes, you can put&nbsp;{{tl|userboxtop}}&nbsp;before and&nbsp;{{tl|userboxbottom}}&nbsp;after the list to order them together on your user page.
-== Creating a new userbox  ==
+For more information about userboxes, see [[Help:Userbox|Help:Userbox]].<br>
-The basic template used in creating new userboxes is {{tl|Userbox}}. Basic examples are included in the template documentation. Alternatively a request for a new userbox can be added to the [[FamilySearch Wiki talk:Userboxes|FamilySearch Wiki:Userboxes talk page]].
