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) 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.

 * This is essentially for those who are as much into all the other subjects of the Star Wars galaxy as the 'Fleet Junkies' are into ships, which is why I used a blueprint of an astromech droid (astromechs seem to know all about the workings of the galaxy).Tocneppil 01:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would want to limit this to technology in the galaxy, see my proposal on natural sciences (the true workings of the galaxy) in conjunction to this. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:30, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Could we replace the first template with this variation? -- Riffsyphon1024 05:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I didn't want to use 'technology' twice in the same sentence. I figured 'inner workings' along with a blueprint of a droid (as opposed to a ship or lightsaber, which would be too genre-specific) would cover the broader spectrum of the technology of Star Wars.Tocneppil 22:11, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea, though inner workings of the galaxy sounds like studies of the galaxy and not of the technology created by its inhabitants. How about this? -- Riffsyphon1024 06:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It's a minor improvement, certainly. Cortle Steeze 18:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually that was a subtle, intentional, reference, hence the choice of an astromech blueprint. I wanted a ubiquitous symbol for the area not covered by species, ship, or weapon, but would still appeal visually to the user. Astromechs, as exemplified by Artoo-Deetoo and Whistler, to mention just two, are everywhere in the galaxy and seem capable of doing just about everything. Plus, they come across as 'mechanic' archtypes, like Han Solo and Chewbacca, unlike a Jawa, which could be confused with 'Jawa Supporters'. I could've chosen a holochron image, but I didn't want to seem too scholarly, and an image of an astromech droid could also be confused with just a general interest in the droids themselves, but a blueprint would show that the user had an interest in how something was made (the 'inner workings' reference). The hardest part in writing these, it seems, is to find a balance between being too descriptive and overly-simplified, while avoiding 'labelling'. I suppose we could just leave it with "This user is a tech enthusiast." Tocneppil 00:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea I know you wanted the cool reference. I was merely pointing out the language used when compared to the one I proposed so to not confuse. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did run on a bit with that last entry. I can see your point, but it seems that besides yourself and Cortle Steeze, everybody else has been voting unanimously in favour of the original. I'd like to keep it as is for now rather than truncate it to "This user is a tech enthusiast.", which is a pretty straightforward label in and of itself, and my second choice.Tocneppil 07:54, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Good day. Before you start shouting about the wrong syntax I used: please don't and help me by changing the source to fit into the right syntax.

I made this because I felt something was missing in the group of force affiliation templates. I can imagine that there are at least some users (one of them being myself) that are neither light, nor dark, nor a follower of Potentium. I chose 'black' because it's something that reflects not a single color. So here you go (:  Darth Paradox  21:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice reasoning, but "black" instantly associates with "dark" in my mind. I do think the Grey Jedi userbox could stand to have the Potentium aspect removed, though. Cortle Steeze 13:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

 * How about something like this? Assuming I'm allowed to photoshop a NEGTC image without a copyright problem. Green Tentacle (Talk) 09:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that image should be knocked down to as close to square as possible to not distort the userbox. 76.4.223.41 23:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Made it square. Green Tentacle (Talk) 10:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not a fan of the Red Guard image, to be honest. A) It's a game graphic instead of a photo, and B) Red Guards are eeeeevil rather than a patroller of peace and justice, which is what I thought we were going for. I think the Blue Guard would be a better choice.
 * Actually, it's from the NEGTC but I take your point about them being evil. I don't think it'd work very well with a photo (look at the one above) and I don't know of any drawings of the good guys. But I'll have a go and see what I can do. Green Tentacle (Talk) 10:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)Valin Kenobi 10:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What if the below was cropped? He contrasts well with the background, he may be too dark, though. -Solus 21:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, I tried that one but it is a little dark when you shrink it. How about either of these? One's from the Senate Guard article, the other is a photoshopped screenshot from Star Wars: Clone Wars because the cartoony version has good contrast and shows up well. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The Clone Wars one looks awkward, or like the Guard has a really long neck. A pity, as it shows up well. The one from the Senate Guard article is kinda meh, but if had to choose between the Clone Wars one and the Senate guard one, I'd choose the Senate Guard. -Solus 17:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It's got my vote. -Solus 18:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd go with either of those two, actually. Should we put one at the top to say "this is what we're actually voting on" ? Wildyoda 22:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, since the one from Wikipedia is not wookified for our needs. Personally I like the crimson guard because you can see it, but the Senate Guard better represent this userbox. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:45, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, but which one are we putting at the top? I think the Clone Wars one is the best because you can see it (though I still prefer the red guy). Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:19, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I definitely prefer the red one, and I've also found that here is evidence of the red guard before Ep. II. I don't know if it'll help the red guy make the userbox, but it's just a thought. -Solus 21:32, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Right. I put the Clone Wars one at the top because it's easier to see than the photo. Any objections to using that one? For anybody who hasn't been following this, here is the original proposal. Green Tentacle (Talk) 12:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
