User:J~enwikinews/statustop/doc
 |
This is a documentation subpage for User:J~enwikinews/statustop (see that page for the user template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original user template page. |
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 five parameters that should be placed in Special:Mypage/Status: online, busy, around, offline, sleep
- It is compatible with the Qui status system developed by TheDJ
- You 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: Around.
- around - Status: (Custom). - (Custom). (if sleep= is defined)
- Status: Offline.
- offline - Status: Sleeping. - sleep (default)
- Status: Unknown. - if your status is not being reported correctly
- The first parameter is optional and may be used to point to a status page other than Special:Mypage/Status
- Can also accept named parameters
- link: a status indicator subpage to explain the terms (i.e. User talk:Xenocidic/Status)
- offset: can be used to offset the status display further to the left
- sleep: redefine the "sleep" parameter to anything you like
- Example usage
- {{Statustop|link=User:Xenocidic/infobox/status|offset=500}}
- {{Statustop|User:SomeOtherUser/Status}} - (useful if a bot-op wants to display THEIR status on the bot page rather than the bots, for example)
- {{Statustop|sleep=IRC}} - for setting the custom parameter
See also
edit- {{UserStatus}}, which offers many more status types if status is set manually
