The text here didn't make a whole lot of sense. I've done my best to find a point in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Cuerden (talk • contribs) 20:51, 2018 December 7 (UTC)

we get

Adding a border doesn't help, because the flag is not rectangular (unlike the Japanese flag illustrated on this help page). Can we add a colored background to make the flag visible? — kwami (talk) 05:06, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I need help for the id. I am trying to make a userbox and I need the id for the image. So how to see the id in the image page in Wikimedia commons? Also what id I am searching for is this NeD1a [[User:Nedia020415|Nedia020415]] (talk) 00:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sample userbox with the commons logo

@Nedia020415: To refer to an image in the "id" parameter of the {{Userbox}} template, use something like id = [[File:Commons-logo.svg|42x42px]], asking the userbox code to display the image. It's perhaps a misleading parameter name, as it doesn't refer to any kind of internal or system "id". -- John of Reading (talk) 06:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
