Wookieepedia:Userbox proposal

This page is for the nomination of new userboxes.

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.

This could set a precedent for other similar, inane userboxes.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 12:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

This is probably better off as a custom userbox. -- Darth Phonebook  19:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

You may want to use the full sized version of the icon (Image:FeaturedIcon.png) so that it won't be distorted when stretched to 40 pixels.– 18:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Would there be one specific name attatched to 'the article' in question, like Mara Jade or R2-D2, or would there be a list?Tocneppil 22:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A name. You just have to put that in the first field for the template, like thus: .  .  .  .  .  08:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What if you contributed heavily to more than one FA? Would you use the box more than once, or should there be a list variable?  StarNeptune Talk to me! 12:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Just do what they do on Wikipedia - Have several of the same box. .  .  .  .  22:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * And by 'helped promote' you mean a significant contribution to the article, correct?Tocneppil 11:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks to Aidje for creating this userbox.

Well, we have a Template: User ewok, so why not have a Template: User wookiee? -  Yoshi  626  02:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Object

 * 1) In its current incarnation, it's a bit hard to read. I don't object to the idea of a Wookiee userbox, though, just this one. Cortle Steeze 17:40, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

How about this:

-  Yoshi  626  22:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice, I like it.– 23:12, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Much better -Nighthawk leader 00:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * So, are we using brown, or light brown? -  Yoshi  626  00:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The light brown is easier to read. —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case, should I change the top userbox to the new one? -  Yoshi  626  01:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the dark brown better myself, but I won't complain either way. First, this is wiki; second, the box was your idea anyway. It's all good. I don't have any trouble reading the dark brown box, though. Maybe my eyes are just better. :-) Or I have a brighter screen. I don't know. Doesn't really matter. I guess I've always been partial to brown, I guess, so I'm probably biased. – Aidje talk 01:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm quite sorry; I have just made a rather noobish mistake. In my extended absence (from which I have just recently returned), it seems a large number of consensus/voting type policies have been implemented. Shortly before becoming aware of this particular policy, I created Template:User osx. My apologies for side-stepping the voting process; I did not mean to do that. At the same time, it seems to me like it should be okay to leave the box up while the vote is in progress. I'm also perfectly willing to accept any well-deserved slaps on the wrist (if the userbox does need to be deleted while the vote is in progress, so be it). I also created appropriate categories… sorry again. Anyway, this template is simply copied from Wikipedia. – Aidje talk 09:45, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

We should probably have Windows and Linux too so how about these? Green Tentacle (Talk) 15:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Good idea, tentacle. -  Yoshi  626  22:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If we've got one for Mac, why not for everything else? - N ighthawk L eader  [Holonet] 23:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Certainly. As you can see from my creation of categories, it was my intention to put these up for approval after the OS X one had passed. It's probably ok to throw them into the same vote, though. Are those copied from the Wikipedia templates? Cause I was thinking we could use those (I haven't looked at them on Wikipedia, though). – Aidje talk 01:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, the pictures are from Wikipedia but I just copied your template to keep them consistent. Green Tentacle (Talk) 09:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I would think it would be better to copy the templates entirely from Wikipedia in order to keep them consistent across wikis. – Aidje talk 06:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but they mostly say "contributes using" rather than "runs" so I thought it'd be better to keep it consistent with yours. Plus, there's about a million versions of Linux ones and several versions for Windows (none of which use the proper logo, which I think looks nicer). Anyway, see for yourself here. Green Tentacle (Talk) 09:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, now that you mention it, there's a good reason that the boxes on Wikipedia don't use the 'proper' logo. Copyright violation. That's why they made their own logo, which evokes the actual logo. It's the same thing with the OS X box, actually. As for Tux, he's probably on a different license which would allow us to use him. Also, I do think it makes some amount of sense to have different templates for different versions and distros. Notice that the box I submitted is not for Mac, but for Mac OS X. Specific version, just as with Windows XP, Windows 3.1, Windows Vista, etc. There is value in denoting the specific version. I don't think, though, that we need as much variety as Wikipedia has as far as different box options for the same version of the same OS. – Aidje talk 07:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I doubt we need to get too specific. Macintosh, Windows, and Linux should be good without having to get into specific releases. And the logo isn't a copyright violation, see logo. —Xwing328 (Talk) 23:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what I was thinking, otherwise we leave ourselves open to hundreds of different boxes for different versions and hardly anybody using each one. Green Tentacle (Talk) 12:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I just saw Wikipedian philosophies in wikimedia and I thought it would be useful to set all of them. I didn't know them and I find them quite interesting. I use Konqueror web browser as well as IE.
