This is a userbox to be used on user pages.
It was developed based on a request for userboxes describing what happened to gaming consoles someone used to own. However, the basic structure of this userbox can be used for anything someone once owned. Two values are required:
- The gaming console or other item being mentioned. This can be wikilinked, if desired
- A switch word for the desired icon and phrasing. Supported switches are:
trash, recycle, sold, donate, and lost.
A third parameter, an= can be set to y to display "an" instead of "a" if the item begins with a vowel. For example:
{{User:Tcr25/Userbox/User Once Owned|PS2|trash}}
{{User:Tcr25/Userbox/User Once Owned|[[Atari 2600]]|recycle|an=y}}
{{User:Tcr25/Userbox/User Once Owned|Intellivision|sold|an=y}}
{{User:Tcr25/Userbox/User Once Owned|[[Volkswagen Beetle|VW Super Beetle]]|donate}}
{{User:Tcr25/Userbox/User Once Owned|bike|lost}}
 | This user once owned a PS2, but threw it in the trash. |
