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.

Comments
Huttese Then you can use the standard lang template syntax:
 * 1) So as to allow all entries of this proposal to be voted on based on their individual merit, I am separating my proposal into 2 groups. I feel that the users who are capable of speaking huttese (such as me) should be able to display this knowledge. --genghisdani 00:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know about this. We have a Mando'a template for this, as well as my little Pak Pak one, but I don't know if these should be official userbox templates. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "Apart the vocabulary, no real grammar and syntactic rules exist. We know the meanings of some phrases, but we can't consistently make a word-by-word analysis of them." If this statement (from the bottom of the Huttese article) is true, then no one can speak Huttese, as Huttese does not exist as a cohesive whole. You can learn phrases, but that's about it. If the article is mistaken in this claim, then I'll change my vote. -BaronGrackle 02:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * According to this, there is a grammatical structure and syntax. Furthermore, because of its being based on Quechua, as well as its ability to borrow words from other languages, you then result in a working vocabulary. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Grammar & Syntax + Vocabulary = Speakable language. --genghisdani 10:20, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but does anyone actually speak or read this language? What's the point if no one actually does?  - breathesgelatin Talk 21:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, you don't really need to make these boxes at all. You can just create the template LangName hutt and add the following code:

hutt - language Category: user hutt
 * 0  &mdash; does not understand
 * 1  &mdash; basic
 * 2  &mdash; intermediate
 * 3  &mdash; advanced
 * F  &mdash; fluent - near native
 * N  &mdash; native
 * U  &mdash; understands, but does not speak

Since someone made a Klingon language template, I figure the huttese language can't hurt&hellip; – 18:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

 * And the description might be unnecessary, since their article already details the information. Do we actually have 501st members on this wiki? I don't want to vote for it just because it's cool, if no one will use the template. -BaronGrackle 03:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well 'supports' was intended as shorter than saying 'is a member of', and I thought there would be members here (you know, fan crossover and all) but so far . . .Tocneppil 06:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) It REALLY hurts me to vote against this, but show me that at least five people can put themselves in the category we had for this last time it existed, and I'll reinstall the template.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 00:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments

 * We used to have this anyway, it just got removed when fewer than five people were using it. Maybe it has a critical mass now? I know I have a version on my page. - Breathesgelatin 03:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It just struck me as odd that a major galactic power would not have an affiliatory userbox; even the Chiss have one, and the Yuuzhan Vong are nominated for their own. Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 00:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the template will be restored when more than five people link to the category.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 21:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You know, I thought I was in that but I wasn't. Well, at least there are two of us now.  - breathesgelatin Talk 05:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, since people seem to want this, I have restored it temporarily. If the template (and category) get five users by the time this vote is over, the template can stay. If not, then it will be deleted again. (For those wanting to use it, the link is located at User Hapes  StarNeptune Talk to me! 01:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the Hapes Consortium have a decent article before it becomes a template? -Nighthawk leader

 * Well, personally I feel that since all the other faction userboxes use their logo, this box should too. Just for consistency's sake.  - breathesgelatin Talk 16:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * 4) *By that argument, though, we should also 86 the "fleet junkie" box, as that one could really be subdivided to death. I see no difference between someone focusing on blaster makes/models/uses/etc. and someone who focuses on their love of Jawas, Ewoks, Hutts, or any of the other species with their own userboxes.

Well, I know the sarlacc userbox was a bust, but I know these won't be. Brain40 11:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Why oppose them, Neb? They have just as much a reason to exist as "This user supports Ewoks". Cutch 21:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Would anyone be opposed to swapping the DH-17 image in the blaster fan's userbox for one of a DL-44? It's a minor issue, unless you are a blaster fan. Jwebb13 03:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've changed it. Brain40 10:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * My point is that any user can make custom userboxes- it's fairly easy. Why do they have to be made a template? The fleet junkie one is used by a large number of people, but I don't see much evidence that Jawas also garner that much popularity. The fleet junkie box also serves the purpose of letting users needing help on ship/fleet issues where to go, and while the Jawa one might serve a similar purpose, how many people do you really think are going to have as many questions about Jawas as starships and fleets? Fleet junkies are a recognized, separable fan group, almost on the lines of Fandalorians or Saxtonites. Not everything has to be made a template- make your own userboxes and share them. I only favor giving templates to major factions/causes- i.e. New Republic, Galactic Empire, Chiss, Hapes, Yuuzhan Vong, etc. And please keep your comments in the appropriate section.

 * OK. We now have versions of the comics, books, and games userboxes created. Here is my suggestion: why don't we just have ONE user box for all Hasbro collectors, symbolized by the Hasbro logo? Could someone make one?  - breathesgelatin Talk 05:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, some of us only collect vintage figures (made by Kenner), or the miniatures, or the larger, 12-inch figures. . . Tocneppil 05:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * My thinking exactly Breathesgelatin. I was actually going to create a 'Kenner' template last night, but I was having some computer trouble. I will see what I can do&hellip; – 06:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I figured out how to make them; please tweak if you can improve them any. To respond to Tocneppil, I really don't think we need such a huge diversity of userboxes. Hasbro is enough. For example, I only collect the Gentle Giant animated maquettes and no other of their lines, but I'd only support a userbox that was for Gentle Giant collectors generally... can't be overly specific in my opinion.  - breathesgelatin Talk 06:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there are those who like being specific in their allegiances (supporters of Revan-era Sith, for example), and we are talking about 'user'boxes here; people want to personalize their userpages (which is why we have the astrology userboxes). And in some cases that can be helpful, say if someone wants to know if a Kenner Boba Fett figure was ever released with a missile-firing backpack, they'd want to go to someone who had knowledge specific to that area.Tocneppil 19:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * But... this isn't a collecting forum or community. Those questions could probably be more easily answered at RebelScum or SWAN, anyway. I still think general userboxes are better. We can agree to disagree. :) - breathesgelatin Talk 00:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Two Alternatives
Instead of the remaining unapproved collection userboxes, I propose only two, one for classic figures and one for contemporary figures. Please feel free to tweak if you can make them look better, I'm new to this.  - breathesgelatin Talk 06:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
