Please do not paste the code of your userbox here. Instead, transclude it. One convenient way is to insert

{{usbktop}}

{{usbk|XXX}}

{{usbkbottom}}

—~~~~

where XXX is the full page name of your userbox. If you are pasting more than one userbox, simply add a {{usbk}} line for each of them. For example,

{{usbktop}}

{{usbk|Template:User en}}

{{usbk|User:Arthur B/Advaita}}

{{usbk|Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/Userbox}}

...

{{usbkbottom}}

Thought about making a user box showing pride for being a Pole (Polish person) :-) Tell me what you think, it's also on my user page :D I can make more, pertaining to a different nationality and so with the flag and colors :-) Just ask! Drewno (talk to me) 12:30, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know barely any Dutch, only stuff like "Hallo, mijn naam is Alex" or "Ik ben Pools"... for those who are the same as me :p Drewno (talk to me) 12:49, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This Userbox is not compliant with the {{Babel}} template: It's (poor indeed) Dutch states the user knows hardly any Dutch. The -0 ending in {{Babel}} means no knowledge of the language. So why use it or even introduce it? JanEnEm (talk) 10:37, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean. Look at wp:babel, there are definitely 0-level Babel userboxes. Also see template:tl. Dynamic|cimanyD contact me ⁞ my edits 12:27, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{User:UBX/better world without dogs/cats}}	This user's cats firmly believe that the world would be better without the presence of dogs. (This user does not.)	Usage

Two userboxes based on User:UBX/better world without dogs. cimanyD (talk) 00:20, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the userboxes to italicize cats and include "This user does not." at the end.

Also, these userboxes would probably be better if they were combined into one template, or even into User:UBX/better world without dogs. For instance, if {{User:UBX/better world without dogs|cat}} produced the same thing as the /cat page, and {{User:UBX/better world without dogs|cats}} produced what's on the current /cats page, neither of the other two would be needed. I don't know much about template code, I just copied the code from User:UBX/better world without dogs, removed the links, and changed the wording. ...Dynamic|cimanyD...

Code	Result
{{User:Styath/Userboxes/DST in user time zone|CET}}	It is approximately 09:32 where this user lives.	Usage

Yet another time indicating userbox, but this one automatically adjusts the time according to Daylight Saving Time depending on your time zone. And there are more options to enhance it in your own way (see the the userbox's documentation).
