Wookieepedia:Userbox proposal

This page is for the nomination of new userboxes. For past nominations, see Userbox proposal/History or Userbox proposal/2006 archive.

Before you create
Before you propose a userbox, read the following:


 * 1) No nonsense or joke templates. What you think may be funny may not be to everyone else, so it's best to just keep it on your userpage.
 * 2) If you are creating a Star Wars themed userbox, try and keep it OOU (i.e. "This user is a fan of Jedi" is good, but "This user is a member of the New Jedi Order" is not).
 * 3) Any offensive/racist/provocative userbox proposals will be deleted on sight, and the user warned. If the user persists, he/she will be banned.
 * 4) Due to being inflammatory, any religious and political userboxes that are nominated here will be automatically rejected, so don't bother.
 * 5) When nominating a template, keep in mind that the template will be for community use, not just your exclusive use. As a rule of thumb, if you think at least 10 people will use your idea, nominate it. If not, it's best left as code on your userpage.
 * 6) Any userboxes that receive votes against can be deleted within the day, if the ratio is above 1 for/5 against.

To use this page:


 * 1) Use the current date as a header, and add the code of the proposed userbox underneath (use the following syntax:  ).
 * 2) Multiple userbox proposals should be presented separately so that the community can vote on each userbox based on its individual merit. Up to three userboxes may be presented for approval under one vote, if and only if, they are closely related in theme or are proposed as alternatives.
 * 3) Add sections underneath for "Support", "Object", and "Comments". Your fellow Wookieepedians will use these sections to support, oppose, or comment on your design.
 * 4) Once a majority has been reached, and two weeks have passed, the userbox will be created as a template for use in the community. If the nomination fails, the template must not be created regardless. If it is, then it will be deleted on sight, and the offender warned.

Oppose

 * 1) I've already been using one like this, and at any rate, I feel it's too specific to be introduced as a template.Note the more soothing colors and classic holocron look. - Graestan  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 03:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Needs work (like including a URL to WookieeProject page, New Essential Guide to Characters page, etc. Once taken care of, I'll change my vote. Also, see comments below. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 02:46, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Jorrel.  Chack Jadson  Talk 21:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm not opposed to having a WP:NEGTC userbox, but the current one isn't great, in my opinion. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 12:01, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Question: As one who knows just how many WookieeProjects there are, wouldn't it be wise just to make a one-size fits all template, where the user puts in the information themselves? For example:


 * ...where is the name of the project? (as for the WP in the picture section, I didn't know if there was a picture or something else distinguishing WookieeProjects). As for categories, couldn't a "Members who contribute to WookieeProjects/NEGTC, etc." be worked out? That's it. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 02:46, 25 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a better idea. --  Riffsyphon  1024 22:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 6) Anyone that doesn't contribute there support it? --  Riffsyphon  1024 12:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) I don't necessarily contribute there, but Gonk's started a good thing with Darthipedia :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 12:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Sure, why not. - JMAS 13:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) Yes. Unit 8311 13:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 10) I'll back the new color scheme. It's more subtly evil, which is a perfectly legitimate form of evil. --School of Thrawn 101 05:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

 * If someone could upload their logo, that'd be great.  Chack Jadson  Talk 18:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I uploaded the logo and added it to the userbox. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 19:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you.  Chack Jadson  Talk 22:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The color scheme for that userbox is not nearly evil enough. --School of Thrawn 101 05:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I like the bluish background. The gold, not so much. I've altered it a bit; what do we think now?  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 12:07, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That looks good.  Chack Jadson  Talk 13:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Thought this would make a good complement to the "Recent Changes Patroller" userbox.--Goodwood 03:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I like this one. I click "random article" here and on Wikipedia all the time. And it's way more useful and relevant than the usual userbox proposals. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 03:58, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Nice image too.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 12:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 11) Whilst I myself rarely use the RA button, I don't see why this shouldn't be accepted. Unit 8311 15:16, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Good point. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 15:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) BAH! Next we'll have "This user hates SuperShadow with the intensity of Mustafarian lava", "This user hates Star Wars: Revelations as much as he hates Jar Jar Binks", "This user despises those stupid little power droid things", "This user hates Kar . . . urgh" Unneeded.

 * Not sure about this one; I'll vote when I've made up my mind. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 15:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The power droids comment is in reference to the IU droids, not the user. And the last comment has nothing to do with any LFL or Del Rey authors or officials. And especially not Mandalorians. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I should rephrase it. What I meant to convey has not, it seems, been conveyed. I was thinking more along the lines of Recent Changes patroller, only specifically emphasizing the feeling one gets when one encounters fanon in a Wookieepedia article. I will propose a new one ("Fanon hunter" or some such) that more accurately conveys my intent.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 17:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I was joking above. That does not mean I want to see more "This user supports" boxes. This user supports "Just saying no" to these things. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) This page is going downhill. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 15:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) This page is going downhill.... Again. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 16:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) This page is literally translating down to the bottom. Please make new boxes on the top of the page, people. --  Riffsyphon  1024 19:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
