Checking regarding making userboxes
--SirSharp (talk) 16:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)would like a tag that supports the right to innovate with out violation
I noticed that for this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ActuallyNeverHappened02/UBX/AHK),
The guy put multiple user boxes on one page and used code to allow the user to specify which one instead of making multiple pages. Is it better to do that, or is it okay to make a page for each userbox? Which is more preferable?

Plural of 'Userbox'
Hey folks. I didn't know where to put this, so I decided that the village pump would be the best idea. I have seen some userpages referring to the plural of userbox as 'Userboxes'. However, I have also seen some userpages referring to the plural as 'Userboxen'. Which one is correct? Are both correct? Cheers! Fakescientist8000 17:36, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Fakescientist8000 I can't see any reason this needs a formal RFC. — xaosflux Talk 17:47, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- This has to be a joke, right? And since it's not 1 April, let's not disrupt the RfC boards, especially as you didn't provide an RfC category and so threw a big red error message, quite apart from the fact that your RfC totally lacked any statement or timestamp, and so failed WP:RFCST in more ways than one. Don't waste our time. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:40, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
I thought I knew what I was doing until I really didn't
So I was trying to make a userbox like
Template:User from Latin America
But I was only able to get this far user:jmjosh90/sandbox/userbox/missionary I thought I had filled in the right things for the option to work, then when I moved the page, everything fell apart. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

History of the userbox
Hi everyone, I'm doing a Signpost article on userboxes (User:Urban_Versis_32/sandbox/Signpost/1). I need some help with the History of the userbox segment, so if anyone is familiar on userboxes, information would be greatly appreciated (Please reply below). Also, I'm open to accuracy-checking on the article if anyone wants to do so (It's nice to have a fresh eye sometimes). Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk / contribs) 18:28, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Look in to Wikipedia:Userbox migration; Wikipedia:May Userbox policy poll and its talk; "The German Solution" ended up being one of the main compromises to end the Great Userbox War (circa 2006). — xaosflux Talk 18:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll add that to the history! Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk / contribs) 18:59, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
