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.

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.

Yea
I liked "fleet", so why not "trooper" Commander Darc 03:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Nay

 * 1) We have a template for users who support clone troopers, and I have a self-made one that should become an actual userbox template on my user page for stormtroopers. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments
Oh, yeah, I made this. I forgot to put my name with it... Commander Darc 03:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you find that the Template:User clones and it's stormtrooper counterpart are insufficient? Fleet Junkie has a little history behind it, and people's reasons for using it, but I don't know whether Trooper Junkie would achieve particularly widespread use. Vyze 13:11, 16 August 2006 (GMT)

 * 1) Redundant with Template:User mando &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I proposed this because I would use it, and because I think that others would too. A nice, simple, 'Mandalorians r0x0rs' userbox. Vyze 23:31, 15 August 2006 (GMT)
 * We already have Template:User mando. -LtNOWIS 22:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Which breaks our "userboxes must be OOU" guideline...8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed, which is partly why I suggest this one instead. Vyze 23:57, 15 August 2006 (GMT)
 * Why don't you just modify Template:User mando to be OOU?– 23:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Can I do that without asking or proposing? Vyze 00:04, 16 August 2006 (GMT)
 * It now reads "This user is a fan of Mando'ade". Better? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally? No. But I may have to be happy with what my proposal has achieved. I'd propose to make ths proposal a choice between "Fandalorian" or "fan of Mando'ade", but I think that could be pushing my luck. Vyze 00:33, 16 August 2006 (GMT)

I made this since there was a Ewok Support Userbox yet I think nowadays Gungans need more support than Ewoks... :P Anyway I find this Userbox funny, yet in a kind way towards Gungans, and I think at least some people would use it. So, it's your vote. -Tyranus- 20:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Should we change the 'Support' and 'Oppose' to 'Okeeday!' and 'Mesa no thinkso'? :P Tocneppil 05:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That would be great :D it's a pity the rules wouldn't allow it... :P -Tyranus- 12:20, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The idea itself is not bad, but I don't think this one would be used by many. Petiflo 11:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I think if some people use the Ewok support one, why not some may use this? By the way, if the image is too big (compared to other Userboxs), I can make it smaller. -Tyranus- 12:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, yeah, my first response was to "oppose" this because I knew I wouldn't use it. However, I also know the Ewok template is rarely used, and I remembered that the Ewok template exists because of the controversy surrounding them. Well, the Ewok controversy is child's play compared to that caused by Gungans. And not that serious, doll-killer child's play either, but the simple kind. Yeah. -BaronGrackle 17:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Gungans are a marmite subject. Love or hate, no grey options. In spite of myself being one of the Hate Gungans crowd, I support this icon thingy so that it can be used by others.Vyze 23:18, 15 August 2006 (GMT)
 * I disagree with you, I'm on the grey option, I don't particulary love them or hate them. But I suppose it could be handy anyway so I'll support it. --Petiflo 12:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments

 * I put this up here because 1) I thought it was a cool idea that would help the wiki and 2) If nothing else, it gives me practice creating userboxes. Atarumaster88 14:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is one that people could really use. I'm sure a lot of people have a lot of interest in starships(I know I do) and this is just the way to show it! JethLordMaster 16:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC-8)
 * Thank you. Now (with all due respect to Kuralyov), if we could just get other "famous" fleet junkies like Nebulax and Culator on board, then everything will happen just as I have foreseen.
 * Um... "famous?" Hmm. Possibly the first time I've been called that. Anyway, this userbox is long overdue. Good idea. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 03:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Most excellent. Soon, the template will be created and all fleet junkies can proudly display a symbol of Imperial might in a userbox to show off their tactical, technical, and any other fleet prowess they have! Atarumaster88 02:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't help but think it should say interest, not knowledge, in the text, though. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm curious as to why you think that. I mean, "interest" could work as well, but when I created the userbox, one of the purposes I had in mind was to point users in the direction of "fleet junkies" in case they needed help with a fleet related question on a page. Bear in mind, that's not the only purpose. I just want to understand your reasoning. Atarumaster88 03:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, that makes sense for the same reasons that we got rid of the SW-4 template. Also, should the template use the "official" Fleet Junkie logo? -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 11:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So are you saying to keep it as "knowledge" or change it to "interest?" It's a small point, but the use of the word "that" in your answer confused me. Okay, I tried it with the fleet junkie image, and it just looks sort of . . . bland. The fleet junkie image becomes so small that it looks like a red dot with a black Impstar silhouette on it- two colors only and not very good clarity. For now, I'm sticking with the Impstar picture that was originally there. Besides, how many people have seen the fleet junkie image? Atarumaster88 14:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * We should definitely use the Fleet Junkie logo, though. I previewed what it would look like, and, at 80px, it looks very good. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 15:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I just changed the box to show the fleetjunkies.jpg image. I also changed the color because the blue clashed with the red on the picture. Still no word on the whole "interest" or "knowledge" thing, but I will change it to interest after reading JethLordMaster's comment. Atarumaster88 15:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry I was unclear there. I did mean that changing it to "interest" seemed like a good idea. Let people express their specific interest in a field, but let their level of knowledge speak for itself. That's why we got rid of the SW-4 template, because most people who used it didn't really have the advanced knowledge that the box proclaimed. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. Well, that is a good point. I changed it anyway. Atarumaster88 16:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * oooo, just saw the new logo -now I wanna be a fleet junkie, too! Seriously, this looks cool, like the old 'blood chit' seen on the jackets of WW II fighter pilots! And 'interest' is less exclusionary than saying knowledge.:D Tocneppil 02:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm glad everyone likes the changes. Fleet junkies rock! Join us, Tocneppil! Soon we shall be able to show off with this userbox. I feel like I actually done something somewhat significant on Wookieepedia for the first time! Atarumaster88 03:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have changed the image size to 85px so it fits the box perfectly.-Tyranus- 09:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So can we end this vote and make it a userbox template already? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
