|{{userbox|gray|aqua|UBX|A userbox is a small box that looks like this.}}
|}
A '''userbox''' (commonly abbreviated as '''UBX''') is a small colored box designed to appear on a [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Wikipedian|Wikipedian's]] [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#User page|user page]] as a notice about the user. Userboxes generally include one or two small graphics and a few short lines of text. Sometimes they also include [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Wiki markup|wiki markup]] that places the user in a [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Categories|category]]. Userboxes are generally created as [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Template|templates]] and [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Transclusion|transcluded]] onto userpages, although their markup may be substituted directly onto userpages instead. Userboxes should not be used in articles.
==Using existing userboxes==
Userboxes are for the use of users on their own user pages. It may be considered bad [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Wikiquette|Wikiquette]] to place any userboxes on any other user's page(s) without their permission.
===Syntax===
The standard syntax for including a userbox to your user page is: <code><nowiki>{{user </nowiki>''name_of_box''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.
===Optional substitution===
You may decide to substitute (also known as [[OrthodoxWiki:Glossary#Transclusion|transclusion]]) the template code onto your user page using the syntax <code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>user ''name_of_box''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. The use of "subst:" will ensure that the template is always displayed in its form when you add it to your user page, i.e. it will not reflect subsequent edits to the template. This method will lead to large amounts of code on your user page.
===Examples===
*<code><nowiki>{{user it}}</nowiki></code>, will give:
<div style="float:left;border:solid #6ef7a7 1px;margin:1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#c5fcdc;"

==Creating new userboxes==
The [[:template:userbox]] can be used to create a custom userbox or a new userbox template.
===Syntax===
See the template's page for complete syntax, a simple form is:
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''Userbox''' |''border color''|''info color''|''ID text or image link''|''Information text'' <nowiki> }}</nowiki></code>
===Example===
*<code><nowiki>{{subst:userbox|red|yellow|?|User needs help}}</nowiki></code>, will give:
<div style="float:left; border:1px solid red; margin:1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px; background:yellow;"
| style="width:45px; height:45px; background:red; text-align:center; font-size:14pt; color:black;" | '''?'''
| style="font-size:8pt; padding:4pt; line-height:1.25em; color:black;" | User needs help
|}</div>
<br clear="all">
==Boxes in tables tables==
You can [[Help:Table|table]] your userboxes. For example:
===Example===
<code><nowiki>{| align=right border=1 | {{user OCA}} {{user laity}}| -| {{user it}} {{userbox|red|yellow|?|User needs help}}|}</nowiki> </code>
would produce the following:
{| align=right border=1
