User: Paine Ellsworth/UserStatus
This page is based on the {{UserStatus}} template.
Usage[edit]
- This template can be used to display a status indicator along the top of your user page and/or user talk page or any subpage of them.
Default examples if used on a Jimbo Wales user or user talk page:
{{User:Paine Ellsworth/UserStatus}}- will read from page -User:Jimbo Wales/Status

Trigger and Display[edit]
Create your status page with your user name as follows:
- Step one
- Create the user subpage
[[User:(your user name here)/Status - Step two
- The content of that page will be one of the triggers shown below, for example:
out
- Step three
- Save the page. That will make your status "out" on the page(s) where you've installed this template. You place only the word "out" on your /Status page to indicate that you are out. To show that you are back, just edit your /Status page and erase "out", then type "in" in place of "out", then save the page. Your status will change wherever you've installed this template to whatever result in the table below that matches its "trigger" that you've used on your /Status page.
| Trigger | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| default (no entry) |
| |
| somewhere s |
| |
| on in n |
| |
| mission m |
| |
| editing ed e |
| |
| reading read r |
| |
| out o |
| |
| holiday h wikibreak |
|
- Step four
- Place a wikilink to your /Status page in any convenient place in your user space. You can use that link to quickly change your status anytime. The link will look something like this:
[[User:(your user name here)/Status]]
- If you use a pipe after "/Status", then you can make the link appear any way you wish:
[[User:(your user name here)/Status|Change my status]]
- That will look like:
- Change my status
- and will link to your /Status page.
- Note
- The default for this transcluded page will change from time to time. If you transclude this page to your user page or talk page and you haven't created your /Status page, or if you've created your /Status page and left it blank, then your status will appear as the default message on the page where you've transcluded this page.
Enjoy!
