Purpose[edit]
To collect images or userboxes into a single column grouping easily. This template is not just for userboxes; it is also an efficient way of creating a column of images to run along the side of an article. {{Gallery}}, by contrast, creates rows of images and is used when the images should not run alongside the text but rather should serve as a break in the text.
Usage[edit]
{{userboxtop
| align =
| left =
| backgroundcolor =
| bordercolor =
| extra-css =
| textcolor =
| toptext =
}}
[userboxes]
{{userboxbottom}}
All of the parameters are optional.

Hiding userboxes[edit]
You can hide userboxes which utilize this (as well as a few other) forms of template-based userbox organization. Simply edit your userspace CSS override (for example, monobook.css for the Monobook skin) and add the following–
table.userboxes { display: none; }
