Template:Wikibreak
Usage
The simplest use is to place {{wikibreak}}
on your user and/or user talk pages and the above will be displayed, but with your user name in place of "Wikibreak".
To change only the message, use {{wikibreak|message=YourMessage}}
, where YourMessage is the message you wish to use instead of the default above.
