[edit] I'm a master of user boxes? News to me.
Hi Sympa. I wouldn't call myself a master of userboxes, though I have managed to make a couple. Mostly if I want a userbox I look thru the galleries at the bottom of this page. They show what the usebox looks like and tells you what to type to transclude it on your page. The top of that page has instructions for grouping the userboxes.
The few times I've wanted to make a new userbox I've found one that's similar to what I want, go to the page where it is housed, click "edit", copy the code that appears, go to a page with the title I'm giving it, paste the code there and save the page (that way I always have an original to work from and revert back to if I totally screw things up). Then I modify it and make judicious use of the preview button and through trial and error eventually get it to where I'm happy with it. Then I save it. I really don't know what I'm doing with them, I just mess around until it looks right.
As for tables, I find them extremely confusing when I'm in the edit window, and avoid messing with them as much as possible. I don't think I'm quite up to creating them, much less trying to teach someone else. Help:Table has some instructions for creating a table. If you've got questions about tables, you might want to ask on the talk page for that page.
If there's anything else you want to know, ask me and I'll do my best to answer. :) ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 03:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
