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) Darth Plagueis The Wise 00:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)Darth Plagueis The Wise I support it!
 * 2) These guys always get the short end of the stick; they do all the Sith dirty work, without getting the cool titles and such. Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 00:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) N ighthawk L  eader    06:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Weak support. Unlike a lot of the other IU support boxes (Hapes, Modal Nodes, etc.) I guess this is general enough to be somewhat useful.--Valin Kenobi 04:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 5)  Yoshi  626 [[Image:Yoshiegg.jpg|20px]] 05:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Lord Titze the Dark Wanderer 18:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) We really don't need this. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 00:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Along with every other we support X userbox. --  Riffsyphon  1024 06:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

 * 4) Per Riff. 18:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Cutch 18:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Not much different from the "This user supports the Dark Side" template, considering that the Dark Jedi do not form a specific, organised group. -BaronGrackle 02:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * 3) Well, I'm an Eagle Scout, and I'd use this box if it was added, but I really don't see any relevance to Wookieepedia. At least the other "real-world" ones for browser, OS, etc. have some relevance.--Valin Kenobi 21:22, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Doesn't really seem relevant - N ighthawk L  eader    21:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Besides, on top of its needlessness, it's prejudicial because it only has the Boy Scout symbol and not the Girl Guide/Girl Scout symbol.  - breathesgelatin Talk 22:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

For people like me. - Patricksheridan 6:56pm, January 11, 2007
 * It would be good if there was a generic userbox for "This user's favourite character is (substitute name here code)", but there would be way too many userboxes if we had one for each character. - N ighthawk L eader    02:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Well I hope this is more useful. I don’t know if one like it already exists but I took my inspiration from this...

 * phrasing reworked. Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]]


 * I see what you're going for, but the box that inspired you was like the blaster fanatic and fleet junkie boxes in that is noted an interest in certain aspects of the Star Wars universe. The box you're nominating refers instead to types of articles found on Wookieepedia itself.  It would be perfect as a custom userbox, but I don't think it would fly as a template.  I am a fan of galleries myself, though.  Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 02:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * One can only try ideas and see what the masses think. (I’ve never worded a sentence like that before and probably never will again =)  Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]]
 * Stick with it; I had 3 or 4 boxes rejected before I came up with an acceptable one in support of smugglers. Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 02:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, he is the composer of Star Wars music. This is more general and important than many proposed "is awesome" userboxes. How about "supports Star Wars music" then? Chack Jadson 01:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't this a rhetorical question on this kind of wiki. Of course people support Star Wars music, but that doesn't mean we need a box for it. --  Riffsyphon  1024 04:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
