Wookieepedia talk:Userbox proposal

Hey, I proposed a userbox by creating a page for September 1, 2006. Is that what was meant by using today's date as a header? If not, could I prostitute my work and ask anyone reading this to click the link and check it out without risking banishment/mockery? Jwebb13 04:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, is there some kind of critical mass when it comes to userbox proposals? I've done a smuggler one, also, and I have ideas for a few more, but I don't want to keep throwing them out there until I get banned out of sheer irritation. Jwebb13 16:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Aren't userbox proposals supposed to last for two weeks? Exp.Fl.Cmndr. Mitth&#39;raw&#39;nuruodo 01:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what I read; I just don't want to propose too many at a time. Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 14:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * All the current userbox template that are not official ones/(yet)are pretty useless,including the Twi'lek one.--SWME 15:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It seemed to me that in the past, they provided information regarding who was supposed to be an expert on a certain subject, like Mandalorians or Clone Troopers, now its gone kinda overboard.Tocneppil 20:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, judging by the reaction, I'm thinking about just pulling that one myself; Orn Free Taa kinda shot down the idea that "Twi'leks are hot," anyway....  Jwebb13  01:45, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm trying my best. I had a collection serires that was wiped out by everyone. I thought that was helpful. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 21:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The hardest part is trying to create a box that fits the guidelines and also isn't covered by a pre-existing box. Your collections box seemed to imply that the size of said collection equalled one's knowledge on Star Wars. The second try seemed better, but it was too soon after the first try, and there was still a connection between size of a collection = knowledge, and there were already boxes for levels of Star Wars know-how. I think if you try again in a few weeks and make the boxes just simple statements -nothing that sounds like the box user is better than anyone else- it might get better results. You can even be creative & say something like, "This user collects vintage Kenner figures." with a pic of the blue Snaggletooth figure. For the comics box, use a pic of the Giant-Size Star Wars comic that Marvel Comics put out in '77.Tocneppil 21:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You have something........ See you on the page in a Few weeks. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 23:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Support boxes
We've got a fair few support pages at the moment, but some factions are crying out "include me!" Anyone got a suitable picture for "this user supports Warlord Zsinj"? Cortle Steeze 22:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Addition to the proposal rules
Does anyone else think that we should perhaps make it mandatory that users propose each of their new userboxes separately? Lately, a lot of new userboxes have been proposed in batches and I think that it isn't a very good way of doing things. It forces us to either accept all of the userboxes proposed or throw them all out regardless of their individual quality&hellip; – 00:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Reading my mind. :-) -BaronGrackle 15:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * YES! - Breathesgelatin 06:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably could have them numbered, although it might get messy with people voting "Yes for 2, 4, 6, and 7; No for 1, 3, and 5."Tocneppil 06:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I added this topic to the Forum:Userbox template discussion.– 08:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Another suggestion

 * Shouldn't we make all those userboxes that aren't voted anymore become actual templates (the ones that have more supportive votes than objectional) and the ones that failed nomination wiped off the page immedeadly? I mean,this page is clottered with old proposals!--SWME (and by the way,correct me for spelling immedeadly? wrong.)
