Wookieepedia:Userbox proposal

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

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 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.

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.

Support

 * 1) It wouldn't look good if the guy who created this thing didn't support it. Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 22:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) In most cases, I fall into this category. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 22:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Excessive. --  Riffsyphon  1024 23:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) YES! 23:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) You know me with my anti-zodiac box and a zodiac box. I'll use it without the "excessive" and with my myriad of galactic governments. Hooray irony! Wildyoda 00:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Perhaps it could be reworded as "This user does not support excessive "this user supports..." userboxes" 22:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm willing to make the change if the majority of those supporting it want me to, so sound off if you're interested. Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 00:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm using Version II now. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 23:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Version II: 23:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I do prefer Version II. I mean, "This user supports..." are good, just not in excess. The original seemed too much like "dislikes all "This user supports..." userboxes." 01:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 4) Look, the way I see it, all these IU support userboxes may be annoying, but if you've already got a bunch, why not make more? -- Darth Phonebook  19:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) This user supports very few "this user supports . . . x" userboxes. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 21:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) X Policy. --  Riffsyphon  1024 21:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) *Hah! ;) Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 22:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) This user does not support "This user supports..." userboxes :P 23:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Ugh. Wildyoda 00:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Nothing wrong with the idea, but this thing is hideous, and so is Bossk. Cortle Steeze 03:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Two main problems with this one: the background color's so dark that I couldn't read the text, and, really, what the hell were you thinking making a pro-Bounty Hunter box that not only didn't have a picture of a Fett, but did have a pic of Bossk?  Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 22:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah I agree. The picture probably should be of a Fett - N ighthawk L eader    02:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah youre probably right that was pretty stupid of me General Mandofett  Wrist Holoprojector[[Image:Mandskull.jpg|20px]] 11:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree. With Boba, it may be confused with our wonderful Fandalorian/Mand-aid whatsits we have. -BaronGrackle 16:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Confusion I can handle. Using an idiot like Bossk to represent all Bounty Hunters, though, that's kinda tough to swallow.  Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 23:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Would this alternative one be any better? (or is it worse than the original?) - N ighthawk L eader    03:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, it has a Fett, and I can read the thing, so I like it. Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 22:40, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Hyperinclusionism is a uniquely Wookieepedian editing philosophy. -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(Kills) 15:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I assume this means including everything. :) --  Riffsyphon  1024 18:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Same here. If it's mentioned, even as a joke (Nostril of Palpatine), it's got an article! 19:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Could someone tell me the difference between the standard inclusionist and a hyperinclusionist? See, I would consider having "Nostril of Palpatine" as inclusionist, whereas I would regard not including it as either mergist or deletionist, depending on whether you want it somewhere or not. Will there be templates for hypermergist or hyperdeletionist, as well? -BaronGrackle 13:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Inclusionist: If it has sources and is mentioned, it's in. Hyperinclusionist: If you see a tiny sliver of an unknown ship, the hair of some character, or overhear a trivial conversation, it's in. I'm pretty sure that's what Culator means. As for the hypermergist and hyperdeletionist, I'm sure they could be made. I'm not sure how to implement those, though. 17:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Perhaps "enjoys" is too weak of a verb for one's focus/specialization? -BaronGrackle 16:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ataru, don't even give anybody the thought :P  Hey, I know, while we're at it, why don't we do "This user enjoys Wookieepedia" and "This user enjoys Episode I" and "This user enjoys Episode II"  See how quickly this could get out of hand? 18:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * To answer Chack's comment, I'm so against these partially because it's a complete waste. You can easily put the userbox on your page without making a seperate template just for it. In fact, all you have to do is copy and paste the code above. It doesn't do much good in helping categorize Wookieepedians either, unlike some such as User 5000e. Additionally, it justs opens the door for more unnecessary boxes. 00:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * The 2+ one would be used until next year when a 3+ would be added, etc... -- Darth Phonebook  02:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Instead of having to create a new userbox for this every year, why not employ a variable in one box similar to the one used in user age?  StarNeptune Talk to me! 03:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I like the concept but agree with streamlining it. And it technically won't be more than two years until March 10 for us. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:44, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Like that? -- Darth Phonebook  17:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good. I would be willing to vote for that version.– 03:55, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Although we'd have to update it monthly. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * And unlike the other version, there wouldn't be an option of categorization. -- Darth Phonebook  00:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Why don't we just stick with years, because updating every month is ridiculous and people don't care if a person was here for 4 months but rather 1 or 2 years or more, because they might be more helpful. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Or we could just use the original templates and only have to update it every once and a while. -- Darth Phonebook  15:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Or we could support all concepts so that the user can pick whatever form they like. I would only have to use the one for 2 years, but many others may decide to go with months as well. --  Riffsyphon  1024 21:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
