User:Lady Aleena/User infobox
 | This user page employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
This is the documentation for the user infobox. Several options will not only apprear in your infobox, but categorize you into various categories. Those that categorize you will be marked. If it creates a red linked category, please do not start it immediately. Only start red linked categories if there are a significant amount of people already so categorized. Remember, all parameters are optional.
