subst
Phorestry uses the subst function to customize existing userboxes like this, at the cost of having a more complicated edit page.

Respect
Phorestry respects the identities of users who choose to disclose them, and respects the privacy of users who don't. Their age, sex, gender, ethnicity, location, school or work details, contact info, and other personal details are none of Phorestry's business, and are none of yours too.
Regarding gender, neutrality is vernacular. Patriarchy is archaic, and it's basic courtesy to acknowledge that not everyone is male (or female, for that matter).
I created this account because I've been browsing a lot here lately, so I might as well help out with small changes. I usually make spelling, grammar, and other cosmetic changes as I see them. I also edit some pages related to non-English speaking countries, including some Latin American countries. I think these articles deserve as much attention and care as others, so as a native English speaker I'll do my best to improve the coverage of these topics in English Wikipedia.
Aside from English and Tagalog, I also know basic Spanish, French, and German. I'm most confident with my reading skills and I can hold a basic conversation, but I'm still heavily reliant on context, a dictionary, and an online translator. I can also read a bit of Portuguese because it's close enough to Spanish, but I can't speak, listen, or write in that language.
