AI overview

Project:Userboxes is a Wikipedia initiative that helps users create and organize small boxes (called userboxes) to display on their profile pages, showing information about themselves, their interests, or their skills. These boxes let the Wikipedia community quickly see what other editors care about or are good at, making it easier for people with similar interests to find and connect with each other.

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

The first userboxes were introduced to support the Babel inter-language effort by indicating the skills of users in other languages.
