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.

 * 3) Don't see why not. Unit 8311 18:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * For those who went to Celebration III but still support even if you didn't go.

Support

 * 1) For Jedimca0. &mdash;Graestan [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 19:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Thank you Graestan. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 20:01, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) Don't see why not. Unit 8311 08:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Since we have one for C4. --  Riffsyphon  1024 17:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * If people who went to Celebration IV get one, why not Celebration Europe? &mdash;Graestan [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 19:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Haco (My Talk) 15:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Pointless. And it's a redlink --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 15:09, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Pointless and not needed, we've got enough "This user supports userboxes" --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 15:45, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Short-lived interim goverment that wasn't drastically different from its successor. &mdash;Graestan [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 19:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Already been tried  06:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Come on. Unit 8311 08:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Some nice user boxes to display things about the wookieepedian. Ultric Sandov --[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Ultimate Spy] 19:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I think it is okay, could be improved, but okay. Haco (My Talk) 16:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Nothing but Jabber. Also, those are horrible quality JPEGs and need reuploading anyway. - Sikon 06:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *The pics were just a preview. Otherwise, it's not any worse than the pointless browser and operating system boxes. It's a way to say more about yourself, but I'm not arguing. It is useless other than social value and I didnt plan for there to be any more use for it.Ultric Sandov --[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Ultimate Spy] 02:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm not a fan of making it even easier for users to put their non-wiki-related personal info up on their userpages. Underaged users, for instance, should not be given this opportunity. &mdash;Graestan [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 02:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Per Graestan.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 01:17, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Per Graestan. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 17:01, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) When I see an userbox nom I say "is there any point of having a category for users who X Y?" The answer in this case, is no. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 23:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Unit 8311 08:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * I'm assuming you wanted to support it Ultric.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 19:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, lol thanks.Ultric Sandov --[[Image:UltricSandov.jpg]]-- [Ultimate Spy] 22:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. I know that young users would abuse it. --  Riffsyphon  1024 04:17, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm a young user, I don't abuse it. I mean it by age, not when I join. Haco (My Talk) 19:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I was refering to age. --  Riffsyphon  1024 17:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

User is Helpful (+8)
I created this with the intention of employing it as a "feel free to ask me for help" template. I think that new users, or anyone with questions, would feel more comfortable asking for assistance if they knew who was likely to offer it. &mdash;Graestan  ( This party's over ) 18:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) &mdash;Graestan  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 03:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) And you'll be one of the first to use one I bet. --  Riffsyphon  1024 04:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I think this could be useful, especially for new users and users without a lot of experience. Any way to tie this into a category and then link the category to the big yellow box that goes on the Talk page of each new user? It could be a good starting point for people looking for help with things. Master Aban Fiolli (Alpheridies University ComNet) [[Image:NewRepublic.png|20px]] 23:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) -- Dark Lord Xander  ( Embrace The Dark Side! )[[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|20px]] 11:20, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Ah heck, I'll support this one.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 14:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 19:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Unit 8311 17:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 20:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) We already have a similar one.  Chack Jadson  (Talk)  19:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *I beg to differ. If so, please link or paste it. Also, if you mean the disputes one, this is a different issue. &mdash;Graestan [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 22:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Can I get one that says "this user doesn't like helping people and will smite you if you annoy him"? -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 18:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I would find that one quite amusing. Please create one, at least for yourself. &mdash;Graestan [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 03:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm. I really like this userbox, and if there was some way to limit it only to those that it is actually true of (e.g.someone like Graestan), then I would be all for it. However, I can see this being one of those userboxes (like sw-3) that almost everyone will use, while only a small fraction should. So, yeah, I'll probably vote for it eventually...--  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 20:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * SW-3 is abused. --  Riffsyphon  1024
 * Maybe if it was awarded like a wookiee-cookiee . . . ?Tocneppil 20:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wookiee-cookiees are also blatantly abused. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 23:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Any chance of maybe getting a different picture? Right now, this userbox looks too much like the WOTM userbox. Just a suggestion. Greyman ( Paratus ) 15:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
