Userboxes (commonly abbreviated as UBX) are small colored boxes designed to appear on Orchids Wiki's user pages. They generally include one or two small graphics and a few short lines of text. Often they also include wiki markup that places the user in a category or show that a user has specific knowledge or status. Userboxes are generally created as templates and transcluded onto userpages, although their markup may be substituted directly onto userpages instead. Userboxes should not be used in articles.
