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, portals, and noticeboards.

Yytop

always comes first in a userbox table to create the three column headings and to size the columns. Template:Yytop may also be used to create a centered table title.

{{Yytop|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:
{{Yytop|Userbox Templates}} creates:

Userbox Templates

Wikitext	userbox	where used

Note: Template:Yytop is very similar to Template:Usbktop except:

1. Template:Yytop default sizes the three columns to 390, 250, and 80 pixels respectively.
   Template:Usbktop does no default column sizing.
2. Template:Yytop places the linked labels Wiki markup, userbox, and where used centered at the top of each column.
   Template:Usbktop places the labels Code and Result left justified at the top of the first two columns only.
3. Template:Yytop may be used to create a centered table title.

Yy

, 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 &#82​03; may be used to represent a missing parameter.

Example:
{{Yy|User in New Zealand|5|comment=option= 1–99}} creates:

{{User in New Zealand|5}}	This user is a student in New Zealand.	linked pages option= 1–99

Note: Template:Yy is similar to Template:Usbk except:

1. Template:Yy will pass up to 12 parameters to the called template.
   Template:Usbk will pass no more than three parameters to the called template.
2. Template:Yy forces all cells to align to the left.
   Template:Usbk uses the default object alignment.
3. Template:Yy uses the same category suppression as Template:Usbk.

Yycat

creates a reference to a category. Yycat may be used to show how to link to a category without using a userbox.

{{Yycat|category|link=}}

where:

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

Example
{{Yycat|Wikipedians in South Africa|link=yes}} creates:

Yytxt

creates a row of text in the userbox table.

{{Yytop|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
  
• txt3 is the optional text for the third column
  
• opt= is the optional format parameter:
  • opt=1 creates a line of left-justified text (default)
  • opt=2 creates a line of table-centered text
  • 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:
{{Yytxt|Residence:}} creates:

Residence:

Note: Template:Usbkbreak centers text on only the first two columns and has no other options.

Yytab
