Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The {{Badge box}} template is a simplified way of adding up to 15 USApedia badges to your user page. Each parameter is optional. Simply add the syntax from below to your user page and then add badge calls as appropriate. A list of many of the badges and instructions on how to create new badges be found on Help:Finding USApedia Badges. This template is designed to assist users in getting started with badges in a hopefully simple way. Advanced users are, of course, free to develop their own approach to adding badges to their user pages.

Blank Badge box

Add the following wiki text to the top of your user page. After saving the page, find some badges and add one per row. Example below.

{{Badge box
|Badge1 = 
|Badge2 = 
|Badge3 = 
|Badge4 = 
|Badge5 = 
|Badge6 = 
|Badge7 = 
|Badge8 = 
|Badge9 = 
|Badge10 = 
|Badge11 = 
|Badge12 = 
|Badge13 = 
|Badge14 = 
|Badge15 = 
}}

Example Badge Box with Several Badges added

The following wikitext will result in the badge box on the right.

{{Badge box |Badge1 = {{Acronyms WikiProject}} |Badge2 = {{Gardening badge}} |Badge3 = {{Dominican badge}} |Badge4 = |Badge5 = |Badge6 = |Badge7 = |Badge8 = |Badge9 = |Badge10 = |Badge11 = |Badge12 = |Badge13 = |Badge14 = |Badge15 = }}

Background colors
