Userboxes 

Hi Mpen320. The boxes you can put on your user page are simply called userboxes. That link should tell you how to get them. It is as simple as adding something like {{Template:User wikipedia}}. Formatting can be a bit trickier but there are pages to guide you through that. There are pages upon pages of userboxes you can add, linked by category. If you need more help just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck! –
