Help:User page templates

User page templates are small widgets that you can put on your user page as well as other people's user pages.

Language boxes
Languages boxes are reminiscent of Wikipedia's Babel. Their purpose is to facilitate trans-lingual collaboration, making it easier to contact a user who speaks certain languages.

For two-letter language codes, see List of ISO 639-1 codes.

Example
Some things to note:


 * Use language codes, not country codes.
 * Make sure the language code is correct.
 * Place language boxes on your user page only.

Community awards
If you have found a good article and believe that its contributor should be recognized for their diligence, give them an award!

To give an award, place the  template on a contributor's user page and write a personal message. Yes, the magic of a wiki allows you to edit any contributor's user page. No, you don't need our permission to give awards.

This community does not have user talk pages. (It has UCP message walls.)

Some things to note:


 * Use the Preview function to avoid spamming the notification box of others.
 * Check your spelling and grammar before submitting.
 * Be personal! We don't have a barnstar competition.

If you received an award
Congratulations, you've got an award! YAY!

What can you do with it? You may keep it, move it, or delete it.

By default, we assume you are willing to receive community awards. To opt out, put a courtesy message on your user page.

Types of awards
The OG Barnstar is awarded to celebrate particularly fine work on the Virtual YouTuber Wiki. Its purpose is to let the contributor know their effort is getting recognized.

The Laurel Wreath is awarded to polite, friendly, and resourceful Wikians who have given highly detailed answers at the community section or the reference desk.

The Star is given to new Wikians who have made great strides to share their knowledge with the world.

Olive branch
The Olive Branch of Peace is self-explanatory.
