Help:Userboxes

Introduction
Just like in the original Wikipedia, userboxes at FanHistory.com are small boxes that users can display to show their support or belief in various topics. Userboxes generally have a few lines of text, sometimes a small image.
Rules
- Userboxes are intended for users to place on their own user page.
- If an image is used, it must not be copyrighted material. Only free images are allowed.
- Boxes shouldn't be insulting.
Making Userboxes
Here's an example of the coding used in a userbox.
<div style="float: left; border:solid {{{1|#000000}}} 1px; margin: 1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px;"
| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; color: #000000; background: #BDB76B; text-align: center;"|'''3:10 to Yuma'''
| style="font-size: 8pt; background: #FFF8DC; color: #000000; line-height: 1.25em; text-align: center;"| This user dynamited a '''[[3:10 to Yuma|<span style="color:#000000">train full</span>]]''' of prospectors in the western territories last spring.
|}</div><div style="clear: both"></div>
<noinclude>[[Category:Userboxes]]</noinclude>
The end result is this:
| 3:10 to Yuma | This user dynamited a train full of prospectors in the western territories last spring. |
The code itself looks like this:
{{User 310fan}}
Content
Any color can be used in userboxes; simply change the HTML color code. Userboxes can be silly, such as the one above, or they can be more direct: "This user drinks tea" or "This user plays Final Fantasy games."
Generally, "This user" should be the first words, but that is just a suggestion, not a rule. Somewhere in the text, a link to the main article (of whatever the userbox is supporting) should appear.
Posting Userboxes
To add a userbox to your user page, simply copy and paste the code. A code typically is {{User userbox_name}}.
