Template:User BRUIN ALUM

Specific usage tips for this template are found below.

This userbox template now features a color scheme based on UCLA's official graphic standards. This template uses parser functions to suit either current students or past students and it can add users to Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: University of California, Los Angeles ("Bruins of Wikipedia"). This page also documents how to opt-out of inclusion in the category if you prefer.

Alternatively, if you wish:

• to be included in the category, without the userbox, copy:

[[Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: University of California, Los Angeles|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]

• then click here (opens the edit tab of your User page), paste, then save the page.
  (Note: Don't change "PAGENAME;" this is a "Magic word" which takes its value from the page onto which you paste this, namely your own Wikipedia:User page.)

Choose your userbox

Copy one of the following options in braces {{like this}}. Paste your choice to your user page, easily accessed via special links, below.

Default userbox

To remain mysterious about your school status, use the default userbox:

UCLAThis user is an alum or current student of UCLA. Go Bruins!

by copying this template:
{{User BRUIN ALUM}}
then click here (opens the edit tab of your User page), paste, then save the page;

• this adds you to the "Bruins of Wikipedia" category;
  
• to not add yourself to the "Bruins of Wikipedia" category, copy/paste:
  

{{User BRUIN ALUM||nocat=true}}

But wait, there's more

Because this userbox template uses meta:ParserFunctions, you can choose to be more specific:

Current students

If you prefer this current student userbox:

UCLAThis user is a current student of UCLA. Go Bruins!

copy this template,
{{User BRUIN ALUM|current}}

then click here (opens the edit tab of your User page), paste, then save the page;

• this adds you to the "Bruins of Wikipedia" category;
  
• to not add yourself to the "Bruins of Wikipedia" category, copy/paste:
  

{{User BRUIN ALUM|current|nocat=true}}

Alumnae and alumni

If you prefer this gender-neutral "alum" userbox:

UCLAThis user is an alum of UCLA. Go Bruins!

copy this template,
{{User BRUIN ALUM|former}}

then click here (opens the edit tab of your User page), paste, then save the page;

• this adds you to the "Bruins of Wikipedia" category;
  
• to not add yourself to the "Bruins of Wikipedia" category, copy/paste:

{{User BRUIN ALUM|former|nocat=true}}

Enjoy!
