Wikipedia talk:Userboxes

I thought I knew what I was doing until I really didn't

So I was trying to make a userbox like

Template:User from Latin America

But I was only able to get this far user:jmjosh90/sandbox/userbox/missionary I thought I had filled in the right things for the option to work, then when I moved the page, everything fell apart. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

History of the userbox

Hi everyone, I'm doing a Signpost article on userboxes (User:Urban_Versis_32/sandbox/Signpost/1). I need some help with the History of the userbox segment, so if anyone is familiar on userboxes, information would be greatly appreciated (Please reply below). Also, I'm open to accuracy-checking on the article if anyone wants to do so (It's nice to have a fresh eye sometimes). Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk / contribs)} 18:28, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Look in to Wikipedia:Userbox migration; Wikipedia:May Userbox policy poll and its talk; "The German Solution" ended up being one of the main compromises to end the Great Userbox War (circa 2006). — xaosflux ^Talk 18:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll add that to the history! Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk / contribs)} 18:59, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Need help with creating a userbox

I want to make a userbox. I have created an image for it, and I've read the pages here on creating one, but none of the templates show how you insert an image into it. I know I would have to upload the image to Wikimedia, but what is the code to have in the userbox to put in the link? Also, do I have to shrink the image down to the 45px high or just have a link and it will resize how it appears?

The instructions for creating a userbox are very confusing, but I want to learn how. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions? I want a standard size userbox with an image on the left, and the words "This user enjoys..." followed by my hobby. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! nycdi (talk) 23:51, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

@Nycdi: I created the basics for you at your subpage User:Nycdi/userboxcreate. I put notes in that describe what you need to add, all you need to do is replace them with the content you desire. Let me know if you have any more questions. ––FormalDude (talk) 23:58, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Which section of Wikipedia:Userboxes/Expertise...

Would {{User stat}} fall under? This one is about sports statistics, and I don't even know it's under "humanities" or "social sciences". This template is currently unused. 137a (talk) 16:31, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
