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 is basically just a template like the the blaster fanatic only for lightsabers - N ighthawk L eader    08:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Good day. Before you start shouting about the wrong syntax I used: please don't and help me by changing the source to fit into the right syntax.

I made this because I felt something was missing in the group of force affiliation templates. I can imagine that there are at least some users (one of them being myself) that are neither light, nor dark, nor a follower of Potentium. I chose 'black' because it's something that reflects not a single color. So here you go (:  Darth Paradox  21:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * 3) However, I'm sure there's some sort of Star Wars related cop or military sentry that could be used for the image.--Valin Kenobi 05:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) We could use Senate Guard for ours. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) *Ooh, that would be good. But do we have an image of one that 1) Will be visible (not too dark) that small and 2) Can be resized (visibly) to a point that it won't distort the size and shape of the userbox? Suggestions please.
 * 6) **Perhaps just the face mask? -- Riffsyphon1024 06:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) ***[[Image:EpIIISenateGuard.jpg|left|40px]]Are you thinking specifically of the one on the Senate Guard page, because that's actually what I was referring to in terms of size and contrast being a problem that small. It just kinda looks black and gloomy and my image-editing of Liberty.jpg got shot down hard enough that I'll let somebody else suggest that (for the record- you still can't see that stupid picture. grainy = better than solid black)

Comments

 * Based on the one from wikipedia. I missed the little guy.
 * Apologies for actually creating this before getting approval. Didn't realize there was a policy for this. Thanks for filling me in, Sentry. Wildyoda 05:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * How about something like this? Assuming I'm allowed to photoshop a NEGTC image without a copyright problem. Green Tentacle (Talk) 09:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that image should be knocked down to as close to square as possible to not distort the userbox. 76.4.223.41 23:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Made it square. Green Tentacle (Talk) 10:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not a fan of the Red Guard image, to be honest. A) It's a game graphic instead of a photo, and B) Red Guards are eeeeevil rather than a patroller of peace and justice, which is what I thought we were going for. I think the Blue Guard would be a better choice.
 * Actually, it's from the NEGTC but I take your point about them being evil. I don't think it'd work very well with a photo (look at the one above) and I don't know of any drawings of the good guys. But I'll have a go and see what I can do. Green Tentacle (Talk) 10:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)Valin Kenobi 10:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What if the below was cropped? He contrasts well with the background, he may be too dark, though. -Solus 21:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, I tried that one but it is a little dark when you shrink it. How about either of these? One's from the Senate Guard article, the other is a photoshopped screenshot from Star Wars: Clone Wars because the cartoony version has good contrast and shows up well. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The Clone Wars one looks awkward, or like the Guard has a really long neck. A pity, as it shows up well. The one from the Senate Guard article is kinda meh, but if had to choose between the Clone Wars one and the Senate guard one, I'd choose the Senate Guard. -Solus 17:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I vote for the Clone Wars one. Is there a chance of getting the top of his crest in the picture, or was that already out of frame in the original screencapture?--Valin Kenobi 17:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, out of shot. I can resize it a bit to make him (or her) look a little less skinny if that'd look better. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think a resize would greatly help with the appearance of the CW image. -Solus 17:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * There. Better? Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's got my vote. -Solus 18:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd go with either of those two, actually. Should we put one at the top to say "this is what we're actually voting on" ? Wildyoda 22:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

"Hangs out" seemed to informal, so I adjusted the wording. Revert if you don't like it. jSarek 21:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) Although I do support the Imperial Knights, I'm also of the firm belief that "supports" boxes need appropriate insignia. Cortle Steeze 20:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Lowered the blue component a bit, how about now? - Sikon 15:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a good idea, but I think we should probably wait until an Imperial Knights insignia comes along - N ighthawk L eader    07:13, 14 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)
