Wookieepedia:Userbox proposal

This page is for the nomination of new userboxes. For past nominations, see Userbox proposal/History.

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/she 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.

 * 1) As a nominator. supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 06:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) As someone who thinks this is a decent idea. We have one for wikipedia and whatnot.  And this is actually kinda relevant.  And it rocks. (if the fanon one can get 18 votes, so can this) - Jinko 07:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I would like to be able to keep track of users who also contribute to SWGames. supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 06:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * In regards to Nighthawk, SWGames is the unofficial name of Star Wars Games Wiki, like Wookieepedia is actually The Star Wars Wiki. Everyone calls it SWGames. supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 07:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose for lack of relevant image. If we get a canon logo for them, maybe. I think this is better as a custom userbox unless and until that occurs, though. Wildyoda 17:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *The lack of an image was one reason why I didn't propose this straight after I read Exile because I thought a logo may have come along, but it hasn't so far. If anyone has any other suggestions for the image, they are welcome to change it. 07:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Made this for the alliance organised by the Corellians in the Legacy Era (in the novel Exile). I couldn't find an appropriate image for the userbox so I just put in the Legacy Era logo - 07:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 7) I realize it's a completely subjective distinction between this one and Wookiees, Ewoks, Gungans, Tuskens, etc., but I think Twi'leks fall on the wrong side of the notability line. The others played a role in the plot of one or more of the movies. Twi'leks were never more than background.--Valin Kenobi 17:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what you are talking about. you may have put that comment on the wrong section. what you said did not make since in this section. Twilekmaster 22:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait a second. Something very similar to this has been proposed already, and rejected. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 21:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you mean the "Twi'leks are hot" userbox I created and then removed from consideration (for obvious reasons). As a box showing support for the species in general, it has as much merit as the ones for Gungans, Wookiees, etc.  Hell, more people probably like Twi'leks than they do Gungans, anyway.  The image is kinda weak, though.   Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|30px]] 06:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * On a separate note, should the one vote above for User:Twilekmaster be scratched? He is a noted sockpuppet. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 14:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, how does this sound: [removed] ...Because otherwise people will use this box who have never actually resolved a dispute. (Unless that was the intent?) And plus it doesn't sound as much like "tell me your personal problems."

I'm mixed on this. I'm opposed to the idea of having "This user supports..." userboxes for everything possibly imaginable, however, a precedent has already been set with boxes for Hutts, Gungans, Ewoks and other nonsense like that. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 14:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
