Template:Statustop/sandbox
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Statustop (diff). |
Usage[edit]
- This template can be used to display a status indicator along the top of your user page and/or user talk page.
- It accepts six statuses that should be placed in Special:MyPage/Status or an unnamed parameter: online, busy, away, around, offline, sleep
It is compatible with the Qui status system developed by TheDJYou can also import (or copy) User:Xenocidic/statusChanger2.js(or just manually update your status)- Will only work in the user/user talk namespaces.
- By default, the output will be as follows
- Status: Online
– online - Status: Busy
– busy - Status: Away – away
- Status: Around
– around - Status: Offline
– offline - Status: Sleeping – sleep (if
|sleep=is not defined) - Status: Custom – sleep. (if
|sleep=Customis defined where Custom is any text) - Status: Unknown
– if your status is not being reported correctly or your status page is empty
- An optional unnamed parameter like
{{Statustop|offline}}may be used to give the status directly instead of in Special:MyPage/Status
- Can also accept named parameters
- link: can be used to link the text to a page which explains the status terms (e.g. User talk:Xenocidic/Status)
- img_link: can be used to link the status image (e.g. User talk:Xenocidic/Status)
- offset: can be used to offset the status display further to the left
- offsettop: can be used to offset further down
- sleep: redefine the "sleep" parameter to anything you like (the text and icon will be blue)
- blink: will prevent flashing in "offline" and "sleep" status when set to any value (such as "no")
nocat: to remove a user from the category when they are online (see below)
- Example usage
{{Statustop|offset=30}}- – the offset parameter is in px units
{{Statustop|link=User talk:Xenocidic/Status|offset=500}}- – the default is to leave the text and image unlinked
{{Statustop|link=User talk:Xenocidic/Status|img_link=Template:Statustop|offset=10}}- – the img_link parameter accepts both wikipages and external URLs
{{Statustop|User:SomeOtherUser/Status}}- – could be used on a bot page to display the bot-op's status.
{{Statustop|sleep=IRC}}- for setting the custom parameter
