Third-party politics

I would like to see some users-boxes to fit more of the third parties. We have Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, etc, but none of the third parties. Heres what I would like to see: "This user is a member of the (Green Party, Constitution Party, Etc.)". As a member of the Green party, it would be most helpful. Coolgamer (talk) 19:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lazy

Anyone able to make a userbox stating that the user is lazy and only edits Wikipedia when he is moved to do so. Something to state that a user does care about his edits, but only when he gets around to it. NeuGye (talk) 05:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]



Wiki RP Box

I would like a box that says, "This user plays Wiki RP" with an appropriate icon. To see what I'm talking about, visit my user page Thanks folks! -GOTO usertalk page, its FUN! NO REALLY! (talk) 06:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user is playing WIKI RP on their user page and invites you to add an event to the RP log!WIKI-RP

Ok, so here is one I came up with myself. Something like this would work. Is there a way for me to upload my own original icon and get my own template id? -GOTO usertalk page, its FUN! NO REALLY! (talk) 07:20, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]



Audition Online

People keep asking me to ask you guys to make an Audition Online userbox. If you do just say "This user plays Audition Online" Oh, and if you can make another one that says "This user plays 오디션" Vincent9679 (talk) 15:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Chorus Line Userbox

I have never created a userbox before so this is a bit shakey. But I thought that with the three or four for The Phantom of the Opera that there should be one for A Chorus Line.

This user is one singular sensation '




Torananoha?

How about a Triangle Heart and/or Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha set? I'm not into the text icons, so maybe one of us can whip up a picture of a katana and/or a red orb for Raising Heart. I'm thinking

"This user thinks Fuwa-ryuu beats Mid-childa magic any day" with the sword and vice versa with the orb, or
for those that like the series equally, "This user practices Mikami-ryuu and Belka magic."

'The Abridged Series' Userboxes.

I was thinking, how about a few Userboxes on Abridged Series. For example: One for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series with the text saying: "Screw the Rules. I have Money." And then a box by the side reading "TAS".

Or "This user is not gay, this user is just british." with the side box thing reading "TAS". These are just suggestions but......

Fairness

This userbox is just a rough draft but if anyone wants to spruce it up a bit, I think it's would be really cool to have on your userpage.


FairThis user believes that fairness is not a principle of nature, but a construct of the mind.


============================

Nuts !?

I have no idea how to "do" a userbox, so would dearly love it if someone could create one for me that says "This user is highly allergic to nuts and almonds". Maybe somebody would be kind enough to make one? Thanks!! --Katie1971 (talk) 15:40, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

McFly (band) userbox

Could someone make a McFly userbox for me? Perhaps with "This user knows All About You" with the italic text linked to the McFly article. Using colours from | mcflyofficial.com?

JW's

I was looking at the userboxes on religion to make my page and I am interested in religion and I noticed that Jehovah's Witnesses did not have one and my suggestion is that someone should make one because there is over 6 million of them. And I was thinking it should be in black and say "Ths user is a JW", what do you think? Steelerfan-94 17:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about Rutger Hauer character from The Hitcher :) one of the most genuinly freaky performances ever! Terrasidius (talk) 03:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm noob here

Some suggestions. First, for those (like moi...) who make more posts on talk pages than edits on pages:

{number}This user has made {number} editorial comments.

where {number} is an auto-generated variable, like the "#posts" boxes". And

This user created {article}.

because I find the dark grey of the existing box makes links too hard to read. I thought I saw an automatic counter somewhere, like this somewhere... I wouldn't want to do it manually... As for the 2d, I'm using it now (in white & yello, tho). And then these:

This user created the article {article}.
This user is a member at plane.spottingworld
This user is a member at train.spottingworld
This user is a member at TrainSpottingWorld and PlaneSpottingWorld.

My thanks to BG7 for making these for me. Discussion of free/non-free is here, & I think it's settled they're OK, but... Trekphiler (talk) 12:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great idea. On a similar note, I'd also like to see one that regards celibacy. Like, "This user is a celibate" or something. As I'm something of a celibate, I'd use it. Pippin the Mercury (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia-Related Extension of Kindness-Campaign

This Talk page protected by the
Good Faith Page-Policy.




Kindness Campaign extension emboldening User Talk pages. Should this be a new category of Userbox (beyond Template:, User:, or Wikipedia:, to Talk:?) or should it be a subcategory of User: located under User_Talk/Userboxes/ ?

The aim here is to give ruffians a heads-up that their coarse language and hostile ways will be scrubbed as it arrives, their ears will be washed, and their manners will be required, else their contribution severely curtailed or restricted by recharacterization and refactoring. Gone will be the times of old when quivering Users were pelted with gangland graffiti seemingly without authority to change the course of conversation lest it be called 'Vandalizing their own Talk Page'! Individual sovereignty in sleek, squeaky-clean filtration will keep out the vulgarity of the gutters and depressed, mean-spirited insouciance to good faith. Chin up!

What do you think? Is this a helpful extension of this Campaign, or is it too great a perturbance of userboxes such that it begins to infiltrate where they ought not be (User_Talk space)?-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 05:24, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Christianity & Color(race)

Looking through the religion userboxes, I noticed that none of them are very plain or general; the plainest one had the fish symbol, which may not appeal to someone who doesn't identify as a Prostestant. My idea: All black, white letters, white empty cross, with the words "This user is an adherent (to/of?) Christianity" or such. Also, the ethnicity boxes aren't very general either, so I reckoned one could say "This user identifies as white" and "This user identifies as black". The "...identifies..." would make the potential user of the box feel more comfortable as they may identify as white/black even though they're not completely Caucasian/Negro. I'd create these boxes myself, but I've never been able to pick up the skill. PS: If I add/delete/move userboxes on my profile, can I mark that as a minor edit? Castitus (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Not always. Minor edits are mainly fixing a speelin error. If your were to fix that misspelled word in the sentence, that is a minor edit. Moving/Deleting/Adding can count if it is, well, short. Here is the userbox you requested:


This user is an adherent of Christianity.

Making the whole thing black does not make it look like a userbox, more like a squirt of ink, or De Blob when black. I will be more than happy to make you some userboxes. Oh, to use that userbox in the library, paste


{Userbox | border-c=grey | border-s=1| id-c=black| id-s=12| id-fc=white| id-op=| info-c=black| info-s=8| info-fc=white| info-lh=1.2em| info-op=| id=✝| info=This user is an adherent of Christianity.}} on to a user subpage. Add one { to the front to make it functional. BacktoMac32Talk to Me!


The reason I suggested all black was that it seemed the most universal color for Christianity (Black, in Euro-American civilization symbolizing morality). Castitus (talk) 20:02, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My mystery hunters userbox

MHThis user is a mystery hunter

what should I do to make it better?sinister falcon (talk) 08:57, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Make it look mysterious. I'm not sure if you by "mystery" you mean unsolved real occourences (in which case you use this image ) or if you mean mystery novels. Castitus (talk) 20:02, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


MHThis user is a mystery hunter

How about this? also, how do you add the pictures? by mystery hunter I mean the show.sinister falcon (talk) 11:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


To add a picture, I think you'd want to find a picture on wikipedia you like, click on it, and find the title, which should be in large, bold print over the image. Then try adding the title, for lack of a better word, in the spot you have marked id=MH. Unless I'm mistaken, that should work. I'm not sure how to give userboxes a simple, pretty code like {{User:UBX/French cooking}, though; I haven't much bothered to figure it out yet. If you need any more help, feel free to drop me a line any time, mind I probably won't be able to help much. Castitus (talk) 22:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Literature boxes

I've already pasted these boxes on a different Talk Page but maybe this is the right place for help/advice. As you can see, I'm toying with a series of userboxes based on Classical literature (Aristophanes' plays in particular at the moment). Each box links to one of my sandboxes where the context for the statement is explained, with further links to pages about the ancient author and his works. I see this use of userboxes as a way of promoting knowledge about a given topic. What I want to know is this:

  • Are these boxes technically OK - or have I embedded a problem in them that will emerge later? Basically, I copied other people's boxes and experimented with them.
  • Is the dirty language against Wiki policy or is it OK in view of the context?
  • How do I set about creating a userbox category for Classical Latin and Greek Literature?
  • If I do create a new category, can it include a subpage like my sandbox with explanations of context?

Thanks for any advice/help you can give. User:Lucretius/Aristophanes and the victory song Lucretius (talk) 23:24, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cellist

Could anyone make a userbox that tells people you are a cellist? 208.107.163.60 (talk) 20:44, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - you can! First, get a real user name. Second, create a sandbox on your user page where you can experiment. Third, copy templates from other users and - experiment! It's actually quite simple and straight forward once you have chosen a couple of templates and have worked out how to adjust them to your own needs/tastes.
One problem maybe - I created ten boxes on my own user page and there has been a sudden spike in uploads/downloads recorded by my telco, and a big increase in my bill! I'm not sure of the dynamics but I an wondering if I have in fact made my userpage more expensive to use than it once was on account of the extra data on it. On the other hand, it could have a different cause, such as an upgrade in my anti-virus software.Lucretius (talk) 22:17, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sure everyone wants this userbox.

Pic of a TRS-80?

As a Certified Old Fart who has been banging away at keyboards for far too long, I'd like to work up a userbox with "This user's first personal computer was a TRS-80".

Sports positions

It would be great to create userboxes that represent sporting positions. I made a few for football.

CFThis user's football position is Centre forward.
CMThis user's football position is Centre midfield.
CBThis user's football position is Centre back.
GKThis user's football position is Goalkeeper.

Thanks! Now there should be more userboxes for other sports, and maybe even having sporting roles within the team (e.g. This user's role is playmaker). Lord Shivan (talk) 21:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Problem Userboxes

I wonder if someone would mind looking into some userboxes i created that now don't function. It seems that the images are no longer available? or some vandalism has occured.

The Userboxes are accessed of my User page. If the 'images' are no longer available, why won't alternative 'files' I tried function instead?

Baptism

OK. While there are numerous Christian infoboxes, I'd like to add in a new wrinkle to this- A Baptism infobox. There are several variants possible: Text

  • This user has been Baptized.
  • This user has been Baptized at birth. (Note:This can be found at User:Jack/UBX/Baptised.)
  • This user has been Baptized as a child.
  • This user has been Baptized as an adult.
  • This user has not been Baptized.
  • This user has been Baptized multiple times.
  • This user has been Baptized by Aspersion (Sprinkling).
  • This user has been Baptized by Afflusion (Pouring).
  • This user has been Baptized by Immersion.
  • This user has been Baptized by Submersion. (Note: See the article above- Submersion and Immersion are not the same.)
  • This user has been Baptized by Submersion at Birth. (Note: For the Orthodox and certain others)
  • This user has been Baptized in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • This user has been Baptized in the Name of Jesus.
  • This user has been Baptized for the Dead. (Note: For Latter-Day-Saints.)
  • This user views Baptism as necessary for Salvation.
  • This user views Baptism as assurance of Salvation.
  • This user does not view Baptism as necessary for Salvation.
  • This user views Baptism as a Sacrament.
  • This user views Baptism as an Ordinance.
  • This user views Baptism as a Symbol, which isn't necessary. (Note: For Quakers and Salvationists)
  • This user believes infants may be Baptized.
  • This user believes only adults can be truly Baptized.

I could go on, but this is enough for now.

Images: Some possible images can include Baptismal fonts (Include the Orthodox one for the unique Orthodox entry), baptistries (include the LDS Temple one for the unique LDS entry.) and people undergoing Baptism in photos or paintings.

Any thoughts? Any comments? I'm not trying to divide anyone by this- I just want a few more infoboxes and references to a cool topic. And, if someone makes some, please notify me.Orville Eastland (talk) 00:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
