Template talk:Usbk

message: Well as you may have noticed that I made edits here to try to make parameters possible on this template. However when I added it to this template it ended up corrupting other userboxes that did not have parameters. so what I had to do is create a new template at Template:Usbkc to address the issue for now. If there anyway to make it possible here without that problem it would help out alot. Sawblade05 08:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The bottom userboxes weren't showing because that page has a lot of userboxes. It's not particular useful either, being redundant to Wikipedia:WikiProject and :Category:WikiProjects etc. No one should be browsing the list for userboxes because you have to actually look at the WikiProject first before joining and tagging yourself. –Pomte 10:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

text: category=name is as easy to type, and it is more intuitive (as in the case of  etc.) to have the second unnamed parameter deal with parameters for the actual userbox. –Pomte 20:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Alright so basically I just solved all these problems. Any userbox that has the correct ParserFunctions extension from :Category:Category suppression supporting templates will not categorize these pages in user categories, more in reply to #Category Suppresion.

text: Agree As what they said but most of my userboxes take at least three params.--Clarkcj12 (talk) 18:45, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: * Since this section has been here for over four years and no-one has replied, I'm taking it upon myself to expand this to accept five parameters at this time.  I will be working in the sandboxes and creating test cases.  Further expansion will be on an as-needed basis. Technical 13 (talk) 15:59, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

text: ** Okay, so now Template:Usbk/sandbox supports up to five parameters as is seen on Template:Usbk/testcases.  if there are no objections in a reasonable amount of time (about a week), I will update the used template with the modifications.

thread_title:  Parameters 

message: I added a template of mine to User:UBX/Userboxes/Seasonal and supplied the single named parameter (holiday) as described in the doco (|2=holiday=value). It doesn't work. What displays is the "default" configuration, so that others would believe that my template is broken. If you go to my template page itself and view the demo there, it is clear that it works fine. ⇔ ChristTrekker 16:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  parameters broken? 

message: Can someone fix the template so that the Transclutions aren't under the code but in a third column like it used to be be. As that looked a lot better than it currently does now.--Clarkcj12 (talk) 00:11, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "Looked better" is very subjective. With some longer template names and larger userboxes, the wider format ran into serious problems with small browser windows. With so much space being wasted it seems prudent to combine the textual information into the same area. ⇔ ChristTrekker 13:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I know this sounds stupid, but what does this actually stand for?--Launchballer 19:02, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The userbox idea came from the German Wikipedia. The main use of the  template family is in userbox catalogues, such as Wikipedia:Userboxes/Computing; and the German for "catalogue" is "katalog", so I think it's USer Box Katalog. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:10, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Technical Problems!!!! 

message: The problem on WP:Userboxes/Life was due to the length of that page and not the coding in the template.  I've shortened that page and it should no longer be an issue.  Any other instances of pages that are too long should be corrected with a proper split of sections to sup-pages. Technical 13 (talk) 13:56, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well that's debatable.  There is a limit to the transcluded template size.  If you recode the template to be larger you will break pages that were below the limit.  Where the problem lies is a matter of perspective, and degree. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 16:20, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

replies: text:  Because the noun "use" is far too easily confused with the (much more common) verb "use". Which makes it problematically ambiguous, when it's just a column heading with no differentiating context. FeRDNYC (talk) 02:26, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
