to the bottom of this page. Please be clear about what the template is used for, roughly what it should look like, and which articles it should link to, if any.

I'm in need of the creation of a template bar like the one below only with the navbox "edit", "view", and "discussion" links on the lefthand side and that can expand or contract to allow it to sit neatly beside a vertical infobox or royal family template usually placed on an article's righthand side. The bar I've included below stays one fixed size and does not display well with other templates in an article. Please let me know what alternatives are available to correct this issue. Thanks. --Caponer (talk) 19:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current template mentioned above:

To standardize, use {{Navbox}}. Change the name value when you create the actual template. If you want it to always default to collapse, set state = collapsed. The far right colour may be too bright for easy readability.

Is there any way that something can be created that does not interfere with the vertical boxes on the sides of articles which does not entail making an individual ancestry page for each person? Like top and bottom code or something to that effect, where the leftmost edges of the horizontal boxes act like the margins of a page. Charles 01:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you are talking about {{familytree}}, it may take even more time to think about how to make that work. I don't know what you mean by interference with the side boxes. Please provide an example. If you find that boxes overlap, separate them with something like {{-}}. –Pomte 01:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See for example here: Prince William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh#Ancestors. My display is 1680 pixels wide and the ancestry box is running under the vertical aligned infoboxes on the side. Without the div headers and footers, the ancestry is inline with the rest of the text and wraps before at the leftmost edges of those side boxes. With it though, it moves it down until it clears the bottom of the infoboxes on the side. Can start and end headers be created that account for and avoid that problem? Charles 02:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've wrapped that example with code that isn't ideal, but is a compromise that should work reasonably well for everyone. I can create {{ahnentafel top}} and {{ahnentafel bottom}}. –Pomte 21:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Creating ahnentafel top and bottom would be wonderful! :-) Charles 18:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. –Pomte 19:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

to upload an image that is the work of the israeli government,which tag should i use??if not available,can wikipedia make it??thanksGrandia01 (talk) 11:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only certain tags are needed as listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Do any of those apply for the image you want to upload? I do not know whether a new tag should be created. Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free is probably a better place to ask. I found from an old thread that the government copyrights images for 50 years. –Pomte 14:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want a template that says "This user has a Playstation 2". I want the box outlined with blue and everything else to be white. The box holding the picture can be blue too. Footballfan190 (talk) 00:31, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does this work? Lazulilasher (talk) 19:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like a template that cites all the samba schools and all the associations related to samba. The background can be blue. --Nadir D Steinmetz 12:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are no articles on each of the Samba schools. The articles in Category:Samba are about different types of things, and so may be better left as a category. 99.227.7.124 (talk) 16:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hum, did you happen to check Category:Brazilian Carnival? --Nadir D Steinmetz 23:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I didn't, because the external links in Samba school doesn't give the impression. 99.227.7.124 (talk) 12:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, than check! It actually does. --Nadir D Steinmetz 12:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So the box may look something like this. Please make corrections if I've got it wrong, or add more articles.

Template:Carnaval

Unless there's a special reason for the background being blue, this is the standard way to present a navigational template. 99.227.7.124 (talk) 12:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I think that will do. But whats the name of the template? I think it can be {{Carnaval}}. --Nadir D Steinmetz 12:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to figure out how to creat a userbox for the WikiProject Dubai that has a small picture of the Burj Al Arab hotel in it. Can anyone help?--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 03:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has been created. Template:User WikiProject Dubai. --Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 04:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working on a userbox that I put on my userpage, and I'm mostly happy with its appearance, but I'd like for it to be the same size as the other boxes, and I can't seem to manage it. Can someone here help? Kafka Liz (talk) 18:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you are talking about User:Kafka Liz/Userboxes/Nazar, then you only have to change the picture, which is to big. Try id = [[Image:Evil Eye.svg|40px]]. If the picture still should be to big, reduce the number of pixel (px).--Thw1309 (talk) 20:18, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, it looks much better now. I'm sorry I forgot to mention which one it was. I was trying to change the wrong parameter before. Thanks again, Kafka Liz (talk) 21:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to bug you again, but the box seems to lose its right-hand border when it's on my userpage, although it shows up fine at User:Kafka Liz/Userboxes/Nazar. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks, Kafka Liz (talk) 21:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It works now.--Thw1309 (talk) 22:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have created the Template:Badmintonbox from Template:FedCupbox and Template:DavisCupbox, but since the Round 4 (R4) they should be optional, to be able to cover events with only 3 matches and events with 9 matches with the same template. Can anybody help me? MontanNito (talk) 20:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 00:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! :-) MontanNito (talk) 09:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I need a template where the box is yellow with the Penguins logo and it says in the rest of it which is black (This user likes the Pittsburgh Penguins) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wesley M. Curtus (talk • contribs)

{{User:UBX/NHL-Penguins}} Can't use logo as it's non-free. –Pomte 00:37, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
