This userbox template, {{User OS}}, provides a fast and convenient way for users to visibly identify as a user/proponent/supporter/die-hard of a particular operating system on their user page, if they wish to do so; it is intended solely for purposes of self-expression and not marketing, and should only be used on pages within the User: namespace.
Usage
This template performs a simple function and is most commonly invoked with only a single, unnamed parameter consisting of a valid keyword for the operating system to note in the message. For example:
Adding this wikitext to a page, {{User OS|Windows}}, will add the userbox shown at right to that location in the page:
Numerous other named parameters may also be included to alter the userbox's appearance or behavior as needed. The valid operating system keywords and those additional parameters are described along with instructions on how to make use of them in the § TemplateData section below.
