This template uses Lua:

Module:Template wrapper

The following ten userbox table templates can be used to create a userbox table that displays a list of userboxes along with their invoking Wikitext and a link to a list of the pages that invoke each userbox template. Templates can also display text and boxes that link to pages, sections, categories, projects, and noticeboards.

See the userbox table example below to see how these templates work together.

Userbox table top

Template:Userbox table top (formerly Template:yytop) always comes first in a userbox table to create the three column headings and to size the columns. It may also be used to create a centered table title.

{{Userbox table top|title|headers=}}

where:

title is the optional table title.
headers= is the optional column headings switch.
- headers=yes creates three column headings (default)
- headers=no creates no column headings.

Example:
{{Userbox table top|Userbox Templates}} creates:

**Userbox Templates**
Wikitext	userbox	where used

Userbox table userbox

Template:Userbox table userbox (formerly Template:yy) creates a single row in the userbox table with the userbox Wikitext, the userbox, and a link to the list of pages that link to the userbox template.

{{Userbox table|template|par1|...|par12|comment=}}

where:

template is the required template name.
par1|...|par12 are up to 12 optional template parameters.
comment= is an optional comment.

A zero-width space  may be used to represent a missing parameter.

Examples:
{{Userbox table userbox|User roses}} creates:


`{{User roses}}`	Lua error: expandTemplate: template "User roses" does not exist.	linked pages

{{Userbox table userbox|User in New Zealand|5|comment=option= 1–99}} creates:


`{{User in New Zealand\|5}}`	Lua error: expandTemplate: template "User in New Zealand" does not exist.	linked pages option= 1–99

Userbox table category

{{Userbox table category|category|link=}}

where:

link= is the optional link to the category. (default=no)

Example:
{{Userbox table category|Wikipedians in South Africa|link=yes}} creates:

Userbox table text

Template:Userbox table text (formerly Template:yytxt) creates a row of text in the userbox table.

{{Userbox table text|txt1|txt2|txt3|opt=}}

where:

txt1 is the optional text for the table or first column.
txt2 is the optional text for the second column

opt= is the optional format parameter:

- opt=3 creates a line of right-justified text
- opt=4 creates a line of left-justified text for each column
- opt=5 creates a line of column-centered text for each column
- opt=6 creates a line of right-justified text for each column
- opt=7 recreates the column headings of Template:Yytop

If all three optional text parameters are blank or missing, a blank row will be inserted.

Example:
