Wookieepedia:Userbox proposal

This page is for the nomination of new userboxes. For past nominations, see Userbox proposal/History or Userbox proposal/2006 archive.

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.
 * 6) Any userboxes that receive votes against can be deleted within the day, if the ratio is above 1 for/5 against.

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.

Support

 * 1) Yes! Wookiee Jedi 07:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) This userbox is racist. --School of Thrawn 101 07:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I think you mean speciest  08:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * How is it racist? Wookiee Jedi 07:57, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I am offended. --64.194.103.95 12:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how it is more speciesist than, say, "This user supports the Sand People" or "This user supports Ewoks." The message of it is really for those of us who want George Lucas to allow more Wookiee Jedi to appear in the Expanded Universe.  No other Force-capable species has such a restriction that I'm aware of.  Maybe we should tell Mr. Lucas to stop being so speciesist... ;-) Wookiee Jedi 21:00, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This user wants more Nautolan Jedi. Oh wait, there's only one of them too. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1)  Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Lieutenant ) 16:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I guess it rates. You could say "grenade," but that's not "Star Wars" cool...  Darth Anxor [[Image:Sithempire2.png|20px]] Sith Order  21:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) This user is an anti-fanatic fanatic. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *You oppose yourself? Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Lieutenant ) 17:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) * Using an unsourced image for a userbox! For shame...--School of Thrawn 101 04:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 05:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * I'll understand if this gets shot down, because we have User blaster, User lightsaber, and User vibroblade hasn't even finished its nomination yet (see below). Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Lieutenant ) 16:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed the image to one that's actually sourced... Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Lieutenant ) 11:13, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) --Steinninn 07:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) It's better than thousands of separate ones.  Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Lieutenant ) 14:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 14:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) That is the single most attractive hitch-hiker I have ever seen. --School of Thrawn 101 04:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) At least relates to users that can contribute information regarding locations. And the hitchhiker is quite tempting to pick up. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) * You would have a template made that links to an unsourced article? For shame... --School of Thrawn 101 11:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *We're working on that. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 11:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) **Noted. --School of Thrawn 101 11:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) ***Done --Steinninn 13:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * I suggested "This user has been to Tunisia" a few months ago and it got rejected, and I kind of agree with it's rejection. But I think this one could have a wider usage. It would be nice to have a category of pioneers so that you could contact users for help when you are going out on your own adventure. I selected the color thinking about the deserts in Tunisia and Yuma. Tough it could do with an image. --Steinninn 07:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Nominated. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 17:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 17:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Interesting idea. Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]] 19:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Nice. Jedipilot94  (*Fo-Shizzle*)  01:17, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) * School of Thrawn 101 04:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) All right!  Commander Daal  [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 08:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Much easier than keeping track of it yourself. Yes, I am lazy. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  16:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) This came up in comments on a previous userbox nomination. I discussed it with Sikon on IRC and he was of the opinion that Wikia might object to us all using it on our pages since it fetches uncached data every time (or some other technical mumbo-jumbo). So as much as I like the idea, I have to say no. Green Tentacle (Talk) 09:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. If Wikia complains I'll withdraw the nomination. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 16:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Per GT. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Greyman ( Paratus ) 11:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 05:51, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Put this on your userpage and it should keep a running total of your edits. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 17:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hasn't this one been mentioned before? because I'm already using it and I can remember copying it from the comments section of a previous proposal. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 08:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think so, but this looks like the first official nom. --School of Thrawn 101 09:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is the first time its nominated and it's a good userbox. I can confirm that it really works and that it is very useful. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 09:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I got it from a previous proposal but thought it might be useful if it were a template. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 16:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm retracting my support vote until the issue with wikia coding is solved. Incidentally, I've added link to my user page that provides me with the information, anyway. --School of Thrawn 101 11:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * A wise decision. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Lieutenant ) 14:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I currently have the box on my page and will test it out over time. If its something that creates a problem then not everyone needs one. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Problem

 * I currently have the box on my page as well, and the count is not accurate. It right now it says my edit count is 3632, but clicking on that to go to the detailed Special:Editcount page shows that my real count is only 3549. It's like it's adding my total count and then my talk count on top of that again. Wildyoda 15:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that too, I first noticed it about 2 days ago, before that this userbox was really accurate. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 17:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I know what the problem is. Could it be counting all Wikia edits? How many edits have you made on other wikis? --  Riffsyphon  1024 07:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That's possible, is there a way to solve it? --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 13:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It would have to be discussed with Wikia. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:13, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Nominated. Greyman ( Paratus ) 12:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Looks good, Greyman. --School of Thrawn 101 13:00, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Not enough people recognise the effort that goes into a good article. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 13:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) I like it! *Grins* Humbone 13:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 14:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) --Eyrezer 23:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Good idea! Looks terrific. Jedipilot94  (*Fo-Shizzle*)  13:03, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) This is a better idea than most userboxes that come around. Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 05:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) I'll bite. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 13:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 10) Why not? Unit 8311 11:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * Naw, I dunno...  Darth Anxor [[Image:Sithempire2.png|20px]] Sith Order  00:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) *Apparently not. --School of Thrawn 101 05:55, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * I don't really like the "This user supports..." boxes, but I feel that this should be an exception. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 12:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This box seems sort of... well, obvious, really. I mean, I see where you're going with it (furthering the cause of GAs), but, well, then we'll need a "This user supports the promotion of FAs" and "This user supports improving articles on the Improvement Drive". Is that where we are going with this? Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 13:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. School of Thrawn 101 and I (and some other users) have been trying to figure out a way to promote the GA page more – it seems like its always the same few people who visit the GA page.  This is one attempt at trying to promote it, so I think it will be interesting to see what the community says. Thanks for the feedback, Jorrel.  Greyman ( Paratus ) 13:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, Greyman. I visit the GA page every once in a while (not as much as I should, but, what can I say?), and understand the "plight" of GA. Should I propose the others? Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 13:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It might be a good idea – I would probably wait to see what the outcome of this userbox is first, because if it fails for whatever reason, or if there is no consensus, then you'll have your answer either way. But if you do propose the other ones, I'd probably support them since I think it is a good idea that the community have these pages as public as possible.  The FA is pretty public&hellip;the Improvement drive too for that matter, since both are on the front/main page.  My main concern was for the GA page since you don't really see it unless you come across one of its articles.  Greyman ( Paratus ) 14:07, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you think someone should put a link to the GA page on the Main Page? Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Imperial Lieutenant ) 17:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) They have one for lightsabers and blasters; why not vibroblades?  Darth Anxor [[Image:Sithempire2.png|20px]] Sith Order  22:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Sure, why not. 17:51, 28 May 2007 (GMT-8)
 * 3) All right, this is actually pretty reasonable. Evir Daal 06:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Does this include vibroaxes? Maybe we should change it to vibroweapons in general. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 13:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) *Done.  Darth Anxor [[Image:Sithempire2.png|20px]] Sith Order  21:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 06:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) User: Ercki Servo i like this idea, lets go for it!
 * 8) Supported. I did once have some plans for vibroblade creation, though an electric carving knife would have been simpler... Cortle Steeze 14:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) Well, at least it's not as silly as other userboxes. Unit 8311 17:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * God, if I have to see another useless "This user supports..." userbox, I think I'm gonna kill myself and the person that nominated it. supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 06:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) *Technically, this doesn't qualify as one of those boxes. --School of Thrawn 101 12:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) **Nah-ah-ah! No violent outbursts on Wookieepedia!
 * 3) ***Umm...k? --School of Thrawn 101 06:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Grr. Fanaticism is not generally a good thing anyways. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) *It says "fanatic" on the other two. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 19:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) **You'll notice that I use neither of them. I support neither of them. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) ***QED. Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 19:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * I thought we needed this, as we have Template:user lightsaber and Template:user blaster.  Darth Anxor [[Image:Sithempire2.png|20px]] Sith Order  22:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe resize the pic to make it more standard size? Enochf 21:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

May 25, 2007 (Ends June 9, 2007)
Another suggestion. This one should work this year, and next year, and the year after that.

Support

 * 1) Tocneppil 19:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Nice. Maybe rephrase to say "in 1977" so it still works next year, and the year after, etc.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 19:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 19:46, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Good idea but I agree with what Gonk said 22:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Per Gonk. Man, I wasn't even born then... Chack Jadson 22:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Same as others. Make it 1977, otherwise, good idea! 17:10, 25 May 2007 (GMT-8)
 * 7) Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]] 12:31, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Why not? Shows who's been there since the start. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 00:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) Sure.  Darth Anxor [[Image:Sithempire2.png|20px]] Sith Order  22:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 10) Good idea! supergeeky1 [[Image:BobaFett.jpg|20px]] The Cantina 06:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 11) Not old enough myself, but why not? Green Tentacle (Talk) 12:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 12) Per Gonk. Unit 8311 15:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 13) Per Unit. --Steinninn talk 04:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 14) Distiguishes our classic trilogy users from more recent ones. I myself was born after ROTJ. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 15) I wonder how many people actually were here since 1977? Darth Seth [[Image:Stormtrooper helmet.jpg|20px]]( Chewbacca lives! ) 18:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Good catch Gonk!Tocneppil 02:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I made the calculation a little more complicated. Now it should move up to 31 on the the day (I hope). Which one are we voting for now? And should it link to ANH or The Saga --Steinninn talk 04:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
