Template:Yybottom

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This Yy series of templates can create a userbox table that displays a list of userboxes along with their Wikitext and the pages that invoke each userbox template. Templates also display boxes for WikiProjects, portals, and notice boards.

The yy template series comprises the following nine templates:

{{yytop}} {{yy}} {{yycat}} {{yytxt}} {{yytab}} {{yywp}} {{yyp}} {{yynb}} {{yybottom}}

Template:Yytop

Template:Yytop always comes first to create the three column headings and to size the columns. Template:Yytop may also be used to create a centered table title.

{{yytop|title|headers=}}

where:

• title is the optional table title.
• headers= is the optional column headings switch.
  • headers=yes creates three column headings (default)
  • headers=no creates no column headings.

Example
{{yytop|Userbox Templates}} creates:

Userbox Templates

Wikitext	userbox	where used

Template:Yytop is very similar to Template:Usbktop except:

1. Template:Yytop default sizes the three columns to 390, 250, and 80 pixels respectively.
   Template:Usbktop does no default column sizing.
2. Template:Yytop places the linked labels Wiki markup, userbox, and where used centered at the top of each column.
   Template:Usbktop places the labels Code and Result left justified at the top of the first two columns only.
3. Template:Yytop may be used to create a centered table title.

Template:Yy

Template:Yy creates a single table row with the template Wiki markup, the template box, and a link to the list of pages that link to the called template.

{{yy|template|par1|...|par12}}

where:

• template is the required template name.
  
• par1|...|par12 are up to 12 optional template parameters.

A zero-width space &#82​03; may be used to represent a missing parameter.

Example
{{yy|User in New Zealand|5|comment=parameter: number from 1 to 64}} creates:

{{User in New Zealand|5}}	This user is a student in New Zealand.	linked pages parameter: number from 1 to 64

Template:Yy is similar to Template:Usbk except:

1. Template:Yy will pass up to 12 parameters to the called template.
   Template:Usbk will pass no more than three parameters to the called template.
2. Template:Yy forces all cells to align to the left.
   Template:Usbk uses the default object alignment.
3. Template:Yy uses the same category suppression as Template:Usbk.

Template:Yycat

Template:Yycat creates a reference to a category.

{{yycat|category|link=}}

where:

• category is the required category name.
• link= is the optional link to the category. (default=no)

Example
{{yycat|Wikipedians in South Africa|link=yes}} creates:

[[Category:Wikipedians in South Africa]]	none	linked pages

Template:Yytxt

Template:Yytxt creates a row of text in the table.

{{yytop|txt1|txt2|txt3|opt=}}

where:

• txt1 is the optional text for the table or first column.
  
• txt2 is the optional text for the second column
  
• txt3 is the optional text for the third column
  
• opt= is the optional format parameter:
  • opt=1 creates a line of left-justified text (default)
  • opt=2 creates a line of table-centered text
  • opt=3 creates a line of right-justified text
  • opt=4 creates a line of left-justified text for each column
  • opt=5 creates a line of column-centered text for each column
  • opt=6 creates a line of right-justified text for each column
  • opt=7 recreates the column headings of Template:Yytop

If all three optional text parameters are blank or missing, a blank row will be inserted.

Example
{{yytxt|Residence:}} creates:

Residence:

Template:Usbkbreak centers text on only the first two columns and has no other options.

Template:Yytab

See also Template:yytabcities—a shortcut for {{yytab}} for location related userboxes.
