Help fixing Sliders (TV series) userbox

Hey all,

Just writing this message because I have a problem with my Sliders (TV series) userbox see here: - User:D Eaketts/Userboxes/Sliders (TV series) but my user page User:D Eaketts and my new userbox page for my updated main page see here:- User:D Eaketts/User Boxes which I had created is connecting to the Category: American television user templates category for some reason and all three of them are on it, I am kind of new to creating userboxes and only created 2 of them in the last few years. I hope I can get a second opinion on what I am doing wrong or can fix it for me. Many Thanks. D Eaketts (talk) 14:23, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Categorization of templates should always be inside the <noinclude>...</noinclude> part. Sometimes its done through {{Documentation}} and a /doc subpage. See Wikipedia:Categorization#Templates for details.

The issue with this particular userbox got fixed in Special:Diff/1304182733. —⁠andrybak (talk) 03:14, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Can someone make a userbox on the Portuguese Wikipedia?

<!-- Since in the [[Portuguese Wikipedia]], from [[:pt:Wikipédia:Votações/Necessidade de registo para editar a Wikipédia lusófona|October 2020 and now on, now IPs and/or temporary accounts]] cannot edit on ptwiki (very funny since the new temporary accounts are also in ptwiki but still cannot edit)  If the one who wants to make the userbox doesn't know how to make a userbox in the Portuguese Wikipedia here:  Here a translation of some parts of the documentation of the [[pt:Predefinição:Userbox/doc|Userbox template's documentation]] from portuguese to english 

=== Use ===

{{Userbox
| posição     = 
| t-borda     = 
| c-borda     = 
| al-id       = 
| l-id        = 
| a-id        = 
| c-id        = 
| cf-id       = 
| t-id        = 
| op-id       = 
| tl-id       = 
| id          = 
| al-id2      = 
| l-id2       = 
| a-id2       = 
| c-id2       = 
| cf-id2      = 
| t-id2       = 
| op-id2      = 
| tl-id2      = 
| id2         = 
| al-info     = 
| l-info      = 
| a-info      = 
| c-info      = 
| cf-info     = 
| t-info      = 
| op-info     = 
| tl-info     = 
| info        = 
| dpe         = 
| categoria   = 
| categoria2  = 
| largura     = 
}}


=== Syntax ===
{{Userbox

I've successfully created a userbox, but which category and gallery pages should I place it on? YeBoy371 (talk) 02:36, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Look at WP:Userboxes/Galleries for galleries and the subcats of Category:Userboxes for categories (although that one takes a while to search).🫀 Crash // Organhaver (talk to me, maybe?) 16:25, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
