Userboxes
My name's Xan ✨ and I'm on the en wikipedia and wikimedia commons.
About
Avid internet user and probable Wikipedia contributor. Has a website that's kept up to date with the latest and greatest information about them. Likes adding more info to articles about interests like software and making adjustments to sentences grammar & punctuation (this sentence probably messed up both of those).
Notes
- Curious as to why there seems to be no userboxes about liking indie pop or alternative rock music genres or artists. I might figure out how to make some or another contributor could.
- I really like how Wikipedia is so customizable, enjoyed reading some Wikipedia Essays, and understand why it makes it harder for Tor users to contribute in some scenarios.
- Messed around in the settings to enable the Vector '22 theme and HotCat + dark mode toggle + Justify paragraphs + Twinkle gadgets; all of which are pretty cool.
- My last user page was deleted because of U5. A non-contributor's misuse of Wikipedia as a web host. Hopefully this iteration closely relates to Wikipedia's goals more so than previously.
- I once got to Tinnitus from Looksmaxxing through Mewing (orthotropics)

![]() Subject bar template
The Subject bar template is intended to be placed at the end of an article, after the References or External links and before any navboxes and categories. It offers a variant to several floating box templates that link to books, portals, and Wikipedia's sister projects but that typically cause formatting issues because of their size and alignment. The template's documentation contains several examples where links to books, portals and sister projects are shown in various combinations, all within the one Subject bar template. It offers an alternative to the multiple variations of portal templates that may appear in the article's "See also" section. – – To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use
