User talk:Ahunt/Userboxes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, I'm also in the CF and although I read the tutorials, I still have no idea how to get started or where to save user boxes. The coding is simple enough, but where to save them? I'd like to make a few nice air force ones. Can you assist? Fdutil (talk) 16:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. There is a pretty good rundown on how to make userboxes at Wikipedia:Userboxes. In general the best idea is to create a userbox on a fresh page in your own userspace, like mine are. Then you can transclude them onto your own userpage. An important thing to keep in mind is that copyrighted images can't be used in userboxes, only free images. Let me know if you have specific questions. - Ahunt (talk) 17:58, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Me again... I "finally" found the proper page and info... DUH! Thanks. Fdutil (talk) 14:22, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hey that is great. If you have any more problems or questions just drop me a note and I will do whatever I can to help you out! - Ahunt (talk) 14:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Hey, It's Jeff. I think you should add a section for userboxes that you HELPED to make, as well as those that you made by yourself. Just a thought. Jdaniels15 (talk) 17:54, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
How do I start a new page, like you did for User:Jdaniels15/whack? I am trying to make a new userbox. (well, I HAVE mad a new userbox, it is just in my sandbox at the moment.) I've got the ubx working, I just need to get it out of my sandbox. Jdaniels15 (talk) 23:26, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- A number of ways: 1. copy the code and then type the address of the page you want into your URL bar and hit return, 2. put the link to a page (like your home page) somewhere and then save it, click on the redlink, or 3 click the little down arrow at the top of the page (next to the star) and then move the page to the address you want! Hope that makes sense? - Ahunt (talk) 00:25, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Ok, thank you. Jdaniels15 (talk) 10:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
