| extra-css =
| textcolor = 
| toptext = 
}}

[userboxes]

{{userboxbottom}}

All of the parameters are optional.

Customizing

Detailed explanations of the parameters are below.

Parameter Valid values
align left, center, or right (default)
backgroundcolor Any web color (name or #XXXXXX hex format). Defaults to #FFFFFF.

Hiding userboxes

You can hide userboxes which utilize this (as well as a few other) forms of template-based userbox organization. Simply edit your userspace CSS override (for example, monobook.css for the Monobook skin) and add the following–

#userboxes { display: none; }
