A userbox is a small rectangular box that looks like this. Below are more examples.

Userboxes can come in many different styles and colors.

Userboxes can have one or two sideboxes.

A userbox (commonly abbreviated as UBX) is a small colored box (see examples to the right) designed to appear only on a WikiQueerian's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly (or even indirectly) help WikiQueerians collaborate more effectively on articles.

The first userboxes were introduced to support the Babel inter-language effort, to indicate users' skills in other languages.
