User:SilentStorm/TalkHeader

Description

General Talk Page Header to be used on User's Talk Pages.

Should you have any Questions / Tips / Problems feel free to post them on My talkpage.

In order for this Template to work as intended there are some Requirements as listed below.

Requirements

• You must archive your Talk Page to Subpages of User_talk:(Your Username)/Archives for example a valid Archiv would be located at User_talk:(Your Username)/Archives/Dec 2008
• You have to name the Archive Page how it should appear in the Archive Box. Ie. you should not just archive it to User_talk:(Your Username)/Archives/Archiv1 as it will then show up as Archive1 which is not really helpful.
• You should create User_talk:(Your Username)/Archives where you list all of your Archives (this can be done automatically using DPL of course) since only the latest 5 will be listed in the ArchiveBox on your Talkpage.

If a Parameter is given that Parameter will be used regardless of possible Entries in your Colorscheme.

Parameter > Colorscheme > Default Value.

Using a Colorscheme

Just add {{:User:SilentStorm/TalkHeader}} at the Top of your Talkpage. The Colors will then be read from User:(Your Username)/color. Make sure you have such a Page and its returning the ColorCodes in the Correct manner. Note that only the Parameters affecting Colors are read from this Page. Should you want to use other Parameters such as NCwidth or NCCaption you still have to pass them as Parameters.

Using Parameters

Just add the Following Code at the Top of your Talkpage changing the Colors to your liking.

{{:User:SilentStorm/TalkHeader
|NCwidth = 50%
|NCCaption = '''Click here to leave a Message'''
|bg = #FF0000
|bg2 = #000000
|border = #00FF00
|txt1 = #0000FF
|txt2 = #FFFF00
|txt3 = #00FFFF
