{{helpme}}Hello Gary King!!! I'm wondering how to organize the userboxes on my page since they are all over the places (I think userboxes are cool^^) Can you help me??? Vincent9679 (talk) 17:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

You just need a more organized layout for your userpage. One way to do it is to look at others' userpages, and when you see a design you like, ask for permission to copy it. This is the old design of my userpage, when I was still using userboxes; you are welcome to copy whatever part of the design is useful to you if you like, or if you see something else you like better, most users don't mind having elements of their userpages copied by others. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Thanks for the layout FisherQueen but how do I make a userbox say what it should say? (example:

@This user can be reached by email at {{{1}}}.

<- That userbox should say my e-m@il address but it says "mailto:{{{1}}}") Vincent9679 (talk) 18:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Most templates have documentation, sometimes on its discussion page, telling you how to use it. Unfortunately, this one does not. Most parameters are simply typed in after a pipe symbol ("|"). What you'll want to do is copy this to your userpage:

{{user email b|foo@yahoo.com}}

to get this:

@This user can be reached by email at foo@yahoo.com.

Orphaned non-free media (File:500-khmer-riel-coin.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:500-khmer-riel-coin.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:18, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
