 Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#AB2813">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#C87365">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#26649C">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#729ABF">ire</span>]] 13:22, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 :Okay! It is because I am working on a new Astrology Usertag. Thanks by the way! [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:27, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
+== User template ==
+There are a few things you should be able to do instead of saving your userspace template time and again. I'm going to assume you keep saving it so you can test how it works. But this template is simple enough you shouldn't have to do that. Here are a few options...
+) You can temporarily change all your parameters. Instead of using your Parameter 1 to set four different colors, you can make a variable for each different color. Then play with those variables in previews of the template in use, and whatever combination you find that you like for each sign, write that down and when you're all done, restore the structure that's currently in place and use the values you wrote down.
+<pre>{| class="userboxitem" style="border: 1px solid #{{{color1}}}; {{#switch:{{{moz|yes}}}|yes={{roundy|60px}}|no=}}; background: #{{{{{color2}}} color}};" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
+! style="background: #{{{{{color3}}} color light}}; {{#switch:{{{moz|yes}}}|yes={{roundy|60px}}|no=}}" | [[Image:{{{2|{{#switch: {{{1|Aquarius}}} | Aquarius=516 | Aries=179 | Cancer=099 | Capricorn=673 | Gemini=084 | Leo=668 | Libra=343 | Pisces=118 | Sagittarius=493 | Scorpio=451 | Taurus=128 | Virgo=282 |}}}}}BattleTrozei.png|60px]]
+| style="color: #{{{color4}}};" | This user is a{{#switch: {{{1|Aquarius}}} | Aquarius | Aries=n |}} '''[[wp:{{{1|Aquarius}}} (astrology)|<span style=" color:#{{{color4}}};">{{{1|Aquarius}}}</span>]]'''.
+|}</pre>
+) Kind of like the above, but don't use any variables... Just copy the code above into a page, replace "<nowiki>{{{color1/2/3/4}}}</nowiki>" with some value, and preview the results until you find something you like for whatever sign(s). Then, again, when you're all done, return to the structure that's currently in place and use the values you wrote down.
+) This you can just do with by previewing your current template after you've clicked "Edit this page". Change the colors for "Capricoron=" and "Aquarius=" and whatever, but then... If you want to test Capricorn, change all "<nowiki>{{{1|Aquarius}}}</nowiki>" to "<nowiki>{{{1|Capricorn}}}</nowiki>", and click Preview.
+If you don't understand what I'm trying to say, I'll try to help explain more, but I'm pretty sure you should be trying not to save that template so much... Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:39, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
