Wikipedia talk:Userbox policy/Header/Alt2

There is, unfortunately, no consensus in this project on userboxes. Many proposals compete in an effort to regulate their creation, format, storage, and display. Project membership is divided on many related issues; tempers are strained. Proponents of WP:GUS feel that all userboxes should be maintained in User: namespace. WP:BOXPOL attempts to regulate userboxes wherever they are found. Some editors feel that almost all userboxes are okay, anywhere; some oppose them everywhere. Absent consensus, you remain free to do as you like. However, others may exercise this same freedom to delete your work. It's always wise to keep a local copy of your edits. Anyway, Stay Cool! Before you create or delete a userbox, you may wish to consider how you want to involve yourself in this debate. See also: UBX talk cat (25 pages at last count)
