This is a modification of the HeroBox which is designed to be used with player/user pages. It works in the exact same manner as the HeroBox, but it instead sets your category as player and has a few different entries for players. All of the hard word and credit really goes to the maker of HeroBox. All I did was change variables and modified the instructions. Seriously, all kudos go to the original maker.

How to use the PlayerBox

If you just want the box itself... go directly to the Cheat Sheet.

Trigger the use of the PlayerBox on your page if you plan to include it. At the top of your edit window, enter:

{{PlayerBox

Below that, you'll want to fill out all the parameters that you can fill out or care to fill out. For this, you'll need the name of the parameter that corresponds to the field you'll want to fill; in most cases, the parameter names are the same as the name of the field, but they differ in some. A complete list can be found below. The format for filling in a parameter is as follows:

| parameter = value
eg.
| name = Average Joe

This will replace the {{{name}}} placeholder in the original PlayerBox with 'Herodude'. Each parameter should be put in a new line for ease of parsing and debugging in case something goes wrong.

The last four fields of the PlayerBox use a smaller font because they're designed for a potentially long list of additions. How you fill the fields and whether you want to add any footnotes is essentially up to you, but for easiest readability, you'll want to offer single terms that summarize some or all of your applicable capabilities there. This could still be a veritable laundry list of things, or it could be as simple as an entry saying 'Pheromone-Based Mind Control' or whatever. Either way, the main body of the page allows sufficient room to expand on things, the PlayerBox is mostly meant for an at-a-glance summary of the most important player data.

Close the Template. This is done by appending the following at the end of your list:

|}}

And with this, you're set.

List of Parameters

  • image - Player image. Should not be wider than 300 pixels. If it's too wide (or too small) it will be automatically shrunken (or expanded) to the appropriate size (but clicking on the image will display the actual image rather than the adjusted version). If you have no image, don't include this parameter and it will default to a placeholder image instead.
  • caption - Text that goes right beneath the image, if you think the image requires further commentary. If not, don't include this parameter and there will be no blank space between picture and name.
  • name - Your name. This will appear in big bold letters.
  • player - However you'd like to identify yourself. Ideally, you'll want to make this a link to your user topic (User:Yourname, eg. User:Eisregen).
  • realname - Your preferred name. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • aliases - Any other names (nicknames or the like) you go by. Defaults to 'None' if not further specified.
  • age - Your age in. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • height - Your height in feet and inches. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • weight - Your weight in pounds. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • eyes - Your eye color. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • hair - Your hair color. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • nationality - The country you claims citizenship of. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • occupation - What you do for a living. 'Janitor', 'CEO', 'President of the World' etc. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • birthplace - Where you were born. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • hometown - Your current residence. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • marital - Whether you're single, engaged, married, widowed or whatever else you have subjected yourself to. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.
  • relatives - Got any loved ones or family with profiles you want to give a shout-out to? Do it here. Defaults to 'Confidential' if not further specified.

  • equipment - A place to mention any notable equipment you hold close.


  • footnotes - Room for any other notes you want to include.
