From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
{{User:Willscrlt/UBX/ClanBox}} and {{User:Willscrlt/UBX/Clan}} are interrelated userbox templates for displaying your Scottish clan affiliation on your user page.
This is a documentation subpage for User:Willscrlt/UBX/ClanBox. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original user template page. |
{{User:Willscrlt/UBX/ClanBox}} is a customized userbox that is preformatted to display the text "This user is of Clan ___" on a dark leather-brown background. There is room for up to two images, with the intention of having the clan badge or crest appear on the left, and the clan tartan appear on the right. If no left image is specified, the word "Clan" will appear instead. There is also room to provide your sept and the clan motto. All the usual userbox attributes (border, background, and text colors and sizes, etc.) are overrideable if you dislike the default choices.
{{User:Willscrlt/UBX/Clan}} is a "smart" userbox that requires one attribute, your last name (actually, your clan or sept name if your last name is different), and tries to determine all of the information needed to determine your clan, sept, badge or crest, tartan, and motto for you automagically. If your clan or sept is not recognized by the template, then you should use the generic ClanBox template instead. The other alternative is to edit the Clan template and add your clan and sept information to the template so it is recognized, which would help other people, too. To do it's "magic", the Clan template uses parser functions and other esoteric template logic. Please test your changes in a sandbox before committing them to the live template to be sure your updates do not break anything.
