I am making a change to this template, which involves replacing the url with this code: [http://%65%6E%2E%77%69%6B%69%70%65%64%69%61%2E%6F%72%67/%77%69%6B%69/((NAMESPACE)):((PAGENAMEE)) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/((NAMESPACE)):((PAGENAMEE))]
The reason for encoding the url in the first instance is that when people duplicate our content they often change every instance of 'wikipedia' to their own website. Here, the way the link appears will change, however the web page will still link to your wikipedia user page. Here is the rendered code: talk:User_page/Archive_1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template talk:User_page/Archive_1

Perhaps we should use a table-less template, like the one I've prepared at my own user page. It renders slightly differently in every geek's "favourite" web browser :P (but still looks pretty good). – TTD Bark! (pawprints) 01:43, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)

I think it would be a good idea that we include the Wikipedia logo as well as the Wikimedia logo in the template. It would make it easier for other people to identify the user page as a Wikipedia user page because the Wikipedia logo is there. Without it, some people might get confused because the visual link between Wikipedia and Wikimedia isn't there. I've done this on my user page. Harryboyles 08:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

will give you a white background, black border, and will keep the current default of a 1-pixel wide border. You can keep the template code on multiple lines, as above, or on one line, as in this example.I don't understand the part of the template that reads, "If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site." If I copy the page and put it on my own personal website, and someone else finds it there, that doesn't make my website a mirror site. Perhaps the wording of the sentence doesn't convey the intended message. —Largo Plazo 16:38, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
← The statement "Be aware that the page may be outdated and the user this page belongs to may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself" would have little context without the explanation in the second sentence. Readers of a mirror would probably wonder why the page is "outdated", especially if they believe that the mirror is the original source. æ² ✆ 2007‑01‑19t22:02z

There seems to be a bug in this template. The first two lines of source are as follows:
{| id="userpage" align="center" style="text-align:center; border: (({border-s|1))}px solid (({border-c|#ffc9c9))}; background-color:(({background|#FFFFF3))}"
|- padding:1em;padding-top:0.5em;"
The padding declaration here is lost; it should be up within the style on the first line. I see that there is scope for parameters to adjust the border and the background. I would like to adjust the margin as well. Here is what I propose for the first two lines:
{| id="userpage" align="center" style="text-align:center; border: (({border-s|1))}px solid (({border-c|#ffc9c9))}; background-color:(({background|#FFFFF3))}; padding:1em;padding-top:0.5em; margin: (({margin-style|0))};"
|-
I have written and tested my own version of this template; it can be found at User:Duae Quartunciae/T/userpage. I am currently using it on my own user page, at Duae Quartunciae, using the margin option to give a 10% width on the horizontal margin, and 3em on the bottom. —Duae Quartunciae (talk · cont) 05:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Rather than use <span>
and HTML/SGML/XML/XHTML/whatever entities to obfuscate the word Wikipedia, would using http://en.((Concat|w|i|k|i|p|e|d|i|a)).org/
and ((Concat|W|i|k|i|p|e|d|i|a))
work? They produce http://en.wikipedia.org/ and Wikipedia, respectively, which is the desired output, and would not be picked up in a simple string search. This seems to be a cleaner approach. Or at least easier to read. — Bigwyrm watch mewake me 23:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Please change the first line from:
{| id="userpage" align="center"
to:
{| id="userpage" width=(({width|100%))} align="center"
This will enable users to specify the width of the box. → AA (talk) — 21:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
This change needs work; the code currently is; (CSS in a style attrib)
width:(({width|))};
and is typically resulting in
width:;
in the emitted pages where this is used wo/passing a width. This is invalid CSS.
nb: diff; there was some 'issue' with the 100% — Internet Explorer?
Can we please have this?
width:(({width|auto))};
Option b) would be to omit the whole shebang if the user invokes this sans-args.

((#if:(({noindex|))}|((NOINDEX))|))
The problem with this is that #if: tests for a non-empty value, thus setting the parameter to |noindex=no or |noindex=b or anything other than an empty value results in the value being true. The instruction to set |noindex=yes implies that one can set |noindex=no, so I have changed the code to ((#ifeq:(({noindex|))}|yes|((NOINDEX))|))

There was a significant change done to this template today which I reverted. Simply put, it made my user page look pretty bad, and I didn't see any consensus for the change, so in accordance with WP:BRD I reverted it. Honestly, I see what's trying to be done, I just don't like it myself, and since this is a very widely used template I think any such change should be discussed. Should such a format be desired (obviously it is or it wouldn't have been done) then perhaps creating a new template would be better (we already have ((userpage2)) so I see no reason not to have a ((userpage3)), etc.). --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 16:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay folks, I've finally gotten round to updating this code to use ((ombox)) as it should. For historical reasons I've preserved the pink border and the 100% width, though I've elected not to override the top and bottom margins (so the template will now float slightly apart from other message boxes, like all the other ones do, rather than butting borders with them). This significantly simplifies the code, helps maintain parity with other message boxes and makes it easy to add new features in future.

doesnt work.
according to here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10666573/border-radius-of-table-is-not-working
you need to set "border-collapse" to initial or inherit because the border collapse setting of the omnibox makes sure that it wont appear as rounded.

Hi! I tried to change the background color for this template, multiple times, on my user page. However, every time I did, it wound up being F8F9FA.
I actually want it to be F8FCFF, but can't get it to be that color. It didn't even change color when I made the background color FF0000, which should have made it bright red.
If anyone knows how to fix this glitch, get the background color to be customizable, or both, please let me know.
