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) Not only against: This would only apply to options on the United States. Adding each option (every party from every country) would be imposible to manage Skippy Farlstendoiro 13:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) We should have country userboxes. - Patricknoddy The Jedi Council [[Image:Obiwanprofile.jpg|20px]] 12:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) We've rejected country ones before. They're better as custom boxes or we'd have to have loads of them. Green Tentacle (Talk) 11:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) There's nothing wrong with saying what country you're from: we just don't want (a) official userboxes, which would divide us all up into national categories unnecessarily, and (b) lead to more specific real-world sociopolitical userboxes which would clog up the userbox list and possibly encourage off-topic flamewars. At least, that's the current reasoning.  If someone wants to change that policy, we can debate it for about a month on the consensus track and probably get nowhere. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) If accepted, prepare for the other 279 countries to follow. --  Riffsyphon  1024 19:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Agree, you could always make one yourself. The problem is an official userbox. Sorry.  Lorth Needa Striptease 20:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Only as custom  05:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * This is my test. If this is rejected, I won't suggest other country userboxes --Ryluk Shouja(Bounty Hunters Guild)11:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a nicer-looking Canadian flag on my userpage, if you want to switch. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you. Much, much nicer. --Ryluk ShoujaBounty Hunters Guild12:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like this pole is closed. I didn't realize that country userboxes had already been rejected, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested these. --Ryluk Shouja(Bounty Hunters Guild)09:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * I find it bloody hilarious that the people who hate/dislike/are pissed off by the Inq are people who contribute nothing to FA. .  .  .  .  22:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well cooper did make the Booster Terrik page. He's probably just concerned because now he has to go back and source that whole thing. Cull Tremayne 22:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * While fout-dot's comment is interesting, I've moved beyond my need to be involved in everything that happens to Booster's article. Granted, I only became aware of the whole Inquisitorius thing because of Booster's recent involvement, but it doesn't really bother me if it's retroactively declared a non-Featured Article; I had no overwhelming desire to see it Featured in the first place - and I don't particularly expect anyone to go through the whole thing and rewrite the prose anytime soon, anyway (no matter how much they're bothered by the gundark line). I suggested the userbox because I wanted a way to indicate my dissent without getting dragged into a big debate that A) I don't currently have the attention span for, B) I know better than to think I'd win, and C) I'm certain the Inqs themselves are all tired of having already. Of course, that all likely extends to this not getting anywhere either, but it was something to try, at least. CooperTFN 07:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Point. But dissent just won't do. :P .  .  .  .  07:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Precisely. http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/54.gif CooperTFN 07:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * To the lay people. This user box does not exsist. It has never exsisted. The exsistence of this userbox and its ideals are the foulest lies of the infidels. If you are considering thinking that this box exsists, turn your attention elsewhere. It doesn't exsist. .  .  .  .  09:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Well, since we may have one that says "This user also contributes to the Star Wars Merchandise Wiki," why not retool this one to similarly say "This user also contributes to the Star Wars Fanon Wiki"?

 * Per Gonk (below). Adamwankenobi 19:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Would anyone actually be using these? I'll support them if there are people who'll use it, but they seem a bit pointless if they aren't. 06:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well... I know I will. :P I think about the same amount of people will use these as will the Episode I userbox. Adamwankenobi 06:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * None of them are films. They're tele-movies. Well...the HS at least. Since the other two recived theatrical releases outside the US. .  .  .  .  21:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * At first I agreed only because I thought people would use these, but then I thought they're not really part of the Star Wars movies. If these are made then other userboxes such as ones about the cartoon episodes and the future live-action and 3-D shows, so it could get a bit out of hand. - 07:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I created this after realizing that Jorrel didn't even have a link to the SW Merch Wiki on his userpage! Wtf, man? Anyway, I'm assuming that WP did indeed decide to acknowledge SWM as a sister wiki (IIRC that was the consensus at the last Mofference). Gonk 16:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
