Template:Statustop/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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 five parameters that should be placed in Special:MyPage/Status: online, busy, 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 - online
Status: Busy - busy
Status: Around - around
Status: Custom - custom. (if sleep= is defined)
Status: Offline – offline
Status: Sleeping – sleep
Status: Unknown – if your status is not being reported correctly or your status page is empty

The first parameter is optional and may be used to point to a status page other than 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
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)
