Shows various links to counters and other user stats tools, various sections, followed by an Actions with tasks that someone (usually administrators) may take with regard to a user. Note that many of these are punitive; the |simple=y option should usually be used to suppress this section, and those relating to advanced user types like admins, bureaucrats and stewards, because they're usually not relevant.

Usage

lemba

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

  • {{User toolbox|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
  • {{User toolbox|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Add {{User toolbox|1=Username}} to a page to display a user's links in the toolbox. If added to a user page, it will automatically get the username. If used on a subpage, specify the username manually or use {{User toolbox|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}}}. If used outside of user space, e.g. in the "Wikipedia talk:" namespace, the username must be specified.

Typical example

{{User toolbox|1=Example}}

yields (when expanded):

Full example

{{User toolbox|1=Example|simple=n}}

yields (when expanded):

Parameters

    • |admin=y to show the display of the Admin history section if the user is an administrator
    • |bureaucrat=y to show the display of the Bureaucrat history section if the user is a bureaucrat
    • |steward=y to show the display of the Steward history section if the user is a steward
