Added username field. Making a save, but I will need to test it... Also jigged the instructions a bit, as the recent changes to the PRE tag format (scrolling overflow) screwed with the layout.

== Purpose == | |||
This template should be added to the main page of all extensions documented on this wiki (and only the main page). It will add a useful infobox using the information supplied (see below) and will automatically add the extension to [[:Category:All extensions]], plus the appropriate [[:Category:Extensions by status|status]] and [[:Category:Extensions by type|type]] categories. | |||
== Example == </noinclude> | |||
{| class="ext-infobox ext-status-{{#switch: {{lc: {{{status|unknown}}}}}|unstable|experimental|beta|stable={{{status}}}|unknown}}" style="float: right; background-color: white; min-width:20%;" | {| class="ext-infobox ext-status-{{#switch: {{lc: {{{status|unknown}}}}}|unstable|experimental|beta|stable={{{status}}}|unknown}}" style="float: right; background-color: white; min-width:20%;" | ||
