Template:Statustop/doc

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 six statuses that should be placed in Special:MyPage/Status or an unnamed parameter: online, busy, away, around, offline, sleep
• It is compatible with the Qui status system developed by TheDJ
• You can also import (or copy) User:Xenocidic/statusChanger2.js (or just manually update your status)
• Will only work in the user/user talk namespaces.

By default, the output will be as follows

• Status: Online File:Ledgreen.svg – online
• Status: Busy File:Ledorange.svg – busy
• Status: Away File:Ledorange.svg – away
• Status: Around File:Ledblue.svg – around
• Status: Offline File:Nuvola apps krec.svg – offline
• Status: Sleeping File:Nuvola apps krec.svg – sleep (if |sleep= is not defined)
• Status: Custom File:Ledblue.svg – sleep. (if |sleep=Custom is defined where Custom is any text)
• Status: Unknown File:Ledgray.svg – if your status is not being reported correctly or your status page is empty

An optional unnamed parameter like {{Statustop|offline}} may be used to give the status directly instead of in Special:MyPage/Status

Can also accept named parameters

• link: can be used to link the text to a page which explains the status terms (e.g. User talk:Xenocidic/Status)
• img_link: can be used to link the status image (e.g. User talk:Xenocidic/Status)
• offset: can be used to offset the status display further to the left
• offsettop: can be used to offset further down
• sleep: redefine the "sleep" parameter to anything you like (the text and icon will be blue)
• blink: will prevent flashing in "offline" and "sleep" status when set to any value (such as "no")
• nocat: to remove a user from the category when they are online (see below)

Example usage

• {{Statustop|offset=30}}

  – the offset parameter is in px units

• {{Statustop|link=User talk:Xenocidic/Status|offset=500}}

  – the default is to leave the text and image unlinked

• {{Statustop|link=User talk:Xenocidic/Status|img_link=Template:Statustop|offset=10}}

  – the img_link parameter accepts both wikipages and external URLs

• {{Statustop|User:SomeOtherUser/Status}}

  – could be used on a bot page to display the bot-op's status.

• {{Statustop|sleep=IRC}} - for setting the custom parameter
