Template:Statustop/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Statustop (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

[edit] Usage

  • This template can be used to display a status indicator along the top of your user page and/or user talk page.
  • It accepts four parameters that should be placed in Special:Mypage/Status: online, busy, offline, sleep
  • It utilizes the Qui status system developed by TheDJ
  • You can utilize the above script or 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: Offline. - offline or sleep
  • 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:Xenocidic/infobox/status)
  • offset: can be used to offset the status display further to the left
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)

[edit] See also

  • {{UserStatus}}, which offers many more status types if status is set manually
