• 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 – online
  • Status: Busy – busy
  • Status: Away – away
  • Status: Around – around
  • Status: Offline – offline
  • Status: Sleeping – sleep (if |sleep= is not defined)
  • Status: Custom – sleep. (if |sleep=Custom is defined where Custom is any text)
  • Status: Unknown – 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
