      Like I said, I may need help. For instance, I can make userboxes, but am unsure of how to simplify the coding

      What do you mean simplify?

      Oh. You just write {{name of page|opinion|reason }}

      So, I need to set up a template page for my userboxes?

      To paste a page, you just write it in a pair (on each side) of curly parenthesis. To use variables used inside, you write |text displayed before the second pairs of curly parenthesis. If you have more variables (aka parameters), you write |text displayed|text displayed. If a parameter is given a specific name, you need to specify the name and its value: 

      |nameOfParameter = valueOf_"nameOfParameter"

      An example of a parameter named abc given the value of ghk would be: 

      |abc = ghk

      Spacing does not matter. So the following is the same as the example above: 

      | abc       = ghk

      However line breaks matter.

      @I need a template?: If you don't use a template, then you don't need to use parameters. You can just write it on the page.

      .... Wha-? Tell it to me once, and never again, but woah! Slow down! I only just started coding, for Koh's sake!

      If you aren't using a template, you don't need to have a parameter. A parameter is only used when a template is being pasted (in the case you are asking about). Otherwise, it's useless. If you have this code in a template: 

      Hello, {{{1}}}!

      ...and you want to paste it on someone's message wall with their name on it, you write: 

      {{TEMPLATE NAME|NAME OF USER}}

      If you have a template: 

      Hello, {{{1}}}! You are {{{2}}}.

      You can paste the template by writing: 

      {{TEMPLATE NAME|NAME OF USER|ATTRIBUTE DESCRIBING THEM}}.

      An example use (though not any less true :P) would be: 

      {{TEMPLATE NAME|Fruipit|awesome}}

      ...which would render as: Hello, Fruipit! You are awesome.

      If you aren't making a template, however, the parameters are useless, except if the page is going to be pasted. For example, if I wrote this on my userpage: 

      Hey, {{{1}}}.

      ...the page would render:

      Hey, {{{1}}}.

      Literally!

      If someone pasted your entire userpage (which is not a very good idea), wrote {{User:Fruipit|person}}, and you had that same text added, only then would it says person instead of {{{1}}}. If you wrote {{{1|person}}}, that would, by default, render as "person". However, that is pointless, once again, if the page is not meant to be pasted, as you do not need to add a variable/parameter.

      Ah. I get it now. I don't need a template, I can just give them the code I created?
