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) Add sections underneath for "Support", "Object", and "Comments". Your fellow Wookieepedians will use these sections to vote for, oppose, or comment on your design.
 * 3) 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.

 * 1) O.K. It's been 3 weeks. I've waited long enough. Hope this one clicks everyone who lays an eye on it. Jabbathehuttgartogg  [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 23:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Cutch 23:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 23:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm in; it helps to categorize a user's inner fanboy and show which aspects of this whole wonderful Wookiee world they're into. Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 00:20, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Me too:) -but oh, those colors.Tocneppil 02:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm in if you ditch that horrible pink and yellow. Havac 21:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) BaronGrackle 22:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Again I will object to it!

 * 1) Change the colors and size of the images and we'll talk. -- Redemption Talk [[Image:Oldrepublic.jpg|15px]] 02:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments to my creation

 * 1) Colors changed ; Pics. sizes fixed....... -- Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 03:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Video game comments

 * These are a lot of userboxes for a single vote. I, for one, have a vested interest in the "video games" box. The one on my userpage looks more like this:

The word choice is almost purely personal, along the lines of "supports Mando'ade" versus "is a Fandalorian", but I like "gamer" because it focuses on the person. I also prefer the LucasArts logo because: 1) Not everyone has the same games; I have never touched Bounty Hunter myself, and 2) Though this isn't the current LucasArts logo, this was the game logo for most of the best Star Wars games, from classics like X-Wing and Dark Forces to even the modern ones like KOTOR. But, as Jolee would say, flies are starting to draw around my mouth. What say ye, other game-players? -BaronGrackle 09:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I like this LucasArts logo version better. 15:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Logos look more professional than product covers/pictures.– 20:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm in too, considering how much time I spend on Battlefront II Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 21:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I like it. To the point with a good picture. Cortle Steeze 22:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes

 * 1) Lorth Needa 07:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Tracyn 10:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Darth Kevinmhk 14:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) SecondSight 14:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 22:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 23:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

No

 * 1) Mild against: existing userboxes for this exist (user m'a-1, etc.) Granted, they don't have pictures, but user mando has the same picture that this proposal has, and I can't imagine someone who doesn't like Mandalorians taking the time to learn the language! 8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * He's got a point, you know. Hey, how about mn-3: "This user is able to contribute with an advanced level of Mando'a"? Cortle Steeze 22:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC) [Note: I was being silly.]

Comments

 * As for now, the Mando'a language is being developed by Karen Traviss. But when it's functional, this userbox can prove useful. Lorth Needa 07:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's already finished, you know... she's got a full dictionary on her homepage... ~ Tracyn 10:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I can find great use for this SecondSight 14:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * So instead of creating a new infobox for this, why don't we just editing the existing language ones, if this design gets approved? 15:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Because if we want all of the language templates to look the same, we'd have to replace the two-letter codes on all the existing real-world language infoboxes with little pictures of flags or something &mdash; which I don't want to do, partly because the rest of you are unlikely to let me put a Canadian flag on user en. 8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments
Thought I'd put this out as a replacement for the current one using the Wookieepedia logo.Tocneppil 03:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't get it&hellip; how is this supposed to be used?– 05:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry -its not a userbox, it's supposed be a replacement for the 'Featured Article' box, which has the Wookieepedia logo. I guess I've posted it in the wrong place, but I didn't know if there was a place to put something like this.Tocneppil 05:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Are talking about the Featured template? If so, you can discuss changes on that template's talk page or start a forum discussion about it. We don't currently have a page devoted to discussing template creation or modification (though we probably should).– 06:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No, the Nominated template. And I guess we can either move it there, or take it down.Tocneppil 06:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * O.k. Started a forum over in the Senate Hall. Under Forum: New 'Nominated for Featured Article' template.Tocneppil 09:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * 9) I thought we already had one? We'll have to make too, and maybe find a slightly smaller picture so it goes with other userboxes. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 10) I don't support them, but this is a cool box. Commander Darc  (GAR) [[Image:Galactic_Republic.JPG|20px]] 21:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 11) Havac 21:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 12) Nice one, but have we got one for "This user supports the Sith order?" [or even "This user supports Gray Jedi"?] Cortle Steeze 22:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments

 * Whether or not this becomes a template, I'm probably going to snag it.  Jwebb13  01:10, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Though I am interested in who would have both this template and the one supporting the Dark side... :-) -BaronGrackle 13:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That would be me, though the explanation would probably be too lengthy to get into here. Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 22:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The sith order one Cortle Steeze talks about is the same thing as the DARK side template. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 22:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Can anyone read Aurabesh well enough to translate the image used for us?  Jwebb13  01:10, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Umm... it says "UV NET"... Cutch 01:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's an interesting box, but does anyone really know the Aurabesh without looking at a chart? Commander Darc  (GAR) [[Image:Galactic_Republic.JPG|20px]] 14:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Somehow, I get the feeling that the answer's yes. If people can learn to speak Klingon.... -- Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 21:10, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Support'n it
Jwebb13 14:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I think this applies to all of us. Or at least those with a soft spot for fat things. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 07:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) It also speaks to a user's preference for either the digital characters of the Prequels or the puppets of the Originals.

Diss'n it

 * 1) How many people would use this, though? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

 * 2) Lorth Needa 12:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) I don't think it's worthy of a template. 13:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments
Proposal withdrawn by creator due to unanimous disapproval and the fact that even he was getting sick of it.

Support

 * Maybe it should be changed to an image of Boushh.--Darth Oblivion 18:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No. Han Solo's the patron saint of scum. Jwebb13  [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 14:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) Oppose. There are better ways to do this, and a userbox, rather than a overall template like we have for articles, is just not it.  Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 04:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments
Um, this was actually meant to show support for smugglers and other fringe elements (and as a comment on the user's personality), not as replacement for a nomination box/template  Jwebb13  22:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
