==Usage==
The {{tlx|Usbk}} template is used for showing a userbox and its properties in a table row. The only mandatory parameter is <code>userbox name</code>. Wrap {{tlx|usbktop}} and {{tlx|usbkbottom}} around uses of this template. You may use {{tlx|usbkbreak}} to insert headers/text breaks in lists.

;{{tlx|Usbk|''userbox name''}}: Include the full <code>''userbox name''</code>, i.e. prefix it with <code>User:</code>, <code>Template:</code>, or <code>Wikipedia:</code>.

;{{tlx|Usbk|''userbox name''|3=''param1''|4=''param2''|5=''param3''}}: For a userbox that uses up to 3 unnamed parameters. If your userbox accepts more parameters, use {{tl|Usbkext}}.

;{{tlx|Usbk|''userbox name''|3=2=''param1=value1''|4=3=''param2=value2''|5=4=''param3=value3''}}: For a userbox set that uses up to 3 named parameters. (This does not always seem to work.)

;{{tlx|Usbk|''userbox name''|3=category=''user category''}}: If the userbox adds user pages into a user category under [[:Category:Wikipedians]]. Do not include the <code>Category:</code> prefix.

;{{tlx|Usbk|''userbox name''|3=comment=''text''}}: Show some other additional text in the third column.

'''Note:''' If a namespace is not included in the name of the userbox, the "Transclusions" link will be missing the namespace and show the transclusions of a nonexistent page in article space.

==Category suppression==
Some userboxes automatically place the page where it is used into a category.  These categories are not appropriate for pages such as lists, so some userboxes support a feature to suppress the automatic category.  This template invokes category suppression for those userboxes.  There are several methods for category suppression, Usbk supports those that use:
* <code>|nocat=true</code>
* <code>|category=</code>
* <code>|categories=no</code> (see [[Wikipedia:Category suppression]])

==Example==
The following code...

<pre><nowiki>
{{usbktop}}
{{usbk|Template:User Arizona|category=Wikipedians in Arizona}}
{{usbk|User:UBX/vandalized|n}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in|Atlanta|Flag of the United States.svg}}
{{usbkbreak}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in|Rome, Georgia|Flag of the United States.svg}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in|Savannah, Georgia|Flag of the United States.svg}}
{{usbk|User en-3|comment=Example of a comment in third column: Third level of English knowledge userbox.}}
{{usbkbottom}}
</nowiki></pre>

...displays the following table:

{{usbktop}}
{{usbk|Template:User Arizona|category=Wikipedians in Arizona}}
{{usbk|User:UBX/vandalized|n}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in|Atlanta|Flag of the United States.svg}}
{{usbkbreak}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in|Rome, Georgia|Flag of the United States.svg}}
{{usbk|User:Patricknoddy/Userboxes/Lives in|Savannah, Georgia|Flag of the United States.svg}}
{{usbk|User en-3|comment=Example of a comment in third column: Third level of English knowledge userbox.}}
{{usbkbottom}}

* {{Tlx|Usbk/light}} a lighter weight version, for pages cataloguing many userboxes.
* {{Tlx|Usbkext}} a version which supports more user-box parameters for the odd case when more are needed.
