Editing MarioWiki talk:Userboxes

==Excessive Length==
Now reaching 31 KB in size, [[Mariowiki:Userbox]] has been suggested by the software to break up into smaller sections, similar to Wikipedia's format. How should be break up this page? <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 17:10, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

==Help:Userbox==
I'm going to attempt to make a concise article on how to create userboxes, including examples, over the next few days. Please do not remove that red link, as it will become blue (or green in some cases ;)) in a couple of days. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 23:41, 6 August 2006 (EDT)
<hr>
Are you (Porplemontage) going to add templates later, or is it up to the rest of us? <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 16:51, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

I tried making one. It didn't really work too well.[[User:HK-47|<font size="4">H</font><font size="1">K</font>]]

I'm not going to make any right now. Users who know about userboxes can add their own templates. Things like favorite characters, favorite games, consoles owned, Nintendo Power subscriber, etc. Woo. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 17:21, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

Lots of excitement in that statement.[[User:HK-47|<font size="4">H</font><font size="1">K</font>]]

[[Wikipedia:Userboxes/Games#Computer and video games]] shows all templates Wikpedia has. I'll copy some and modify them for use later, or someone else can go ahead and start. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 17:56, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

We're not going to use templates and categories. Hold on and I'll show how we'll do it. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 23:38, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

==In Need of Explanation!==
Even though I figured out the CSS, I have no clue how you just did that. Care to explain? :P <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 00:01, 5 August 2006 (EDT)
:Wait, I think I get it from seeing [[Template:Userbox]]. The stuff between <nowiki>{{{ and }}}</nowiki> is replaced by the lines separated by <nowiki>|</nowiki>s in the template...very useful feature, better than the categories/templates that have just been deleted (00:06, 5 August 2006 (EDT)). <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 00:04, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

:::...Ah, excellent. <nowiki>{{{Code}}}</nowiki> can take images...good thing I figured that out before I created the page.

Awesome. Except the <nowiki>{{userboxsample}}</nowiki> template is for displaying the userbox on this page, but the source code is supposed to use the <nowiki>{{userbox}}</nowiki> template, which is used in the actual towers. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 07:59, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

== Templating ==

Why not templating the userboxes? Now you need to copy all that codes and stuff and your userpage looks like crap when you edit... so, why not templating? (Maybe this is another dumb idea i got, but...) /It's-a me, [[User:Smiddle|Smeedel]]. / <small> [[User talk:Smiddle|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|Contribs]] - [[special:mypage|You]]</small> 12:42, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

No templating. And I don't want users creating their own userbox templates. Just drop the code on your page please. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 13:33, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

I thought that was the deal with userboxes :/ --It's-a me, [[User:Smiddle|Smeedel]]. / <small> [[User talk:Smiddle|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|Contribs]] - [[special:mypage|You]]</small> 19:16, 26 August 2006 (EDT)

== User Created ==
Ultimately, most of the userboxes will be created by wiki users. We should have a huge list of them in time. So why not just categorize them with the others instead of throwing them all in one section? --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 23:53, 6 August 2006 (EDT)

== Corrupted Format ==
Is there any way to fix the coding of this page? Can you shrink the text of the sample user boxes?<br>[[User:Confused|<span style="color:Red;">I</span>]] [[User talk:Confused|<span style="color:Blue;">am</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Confused|<span style="color:Green;">Confused</span>]] 00:37, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

== Lets talk about it ==

Alright, this morning I chatted with Wayoshi and MM they said it was too specific and it wasn't needed. The page itself is too long, so I'm trying to shorten it. [[User:Great Gonzo|Great Gonzo]]

Well, you removed many other userboxes also. {{User:Plumber/sig}}

Ones that most likely really shouldn't be there you know. [[User:Great Gonzo|Great Gonzo]]

You removed the F-Zero, Animal Crossing, and Halo ones. {{User:Plumber/sig}}

Too specific, we have This user is a fan of the video game series ___ so we really don't need the others. [[User:Great Gonzo|Great Gonzo]]

I don't think that's too specific. {{User:Plumber/sig}}

Fine, some may not be but the "This user likes Luigi and Link" maybe too specific. Im sorry if i was a little agressive. [[User:Great Gonzo|Great Gonzo]]

That's OK. {{User:Plumber/sig}}

== Arend's Userbox ==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox|border=black|mainbkgd=yellow|codebkgd=gold|codecolor=black|code=[[Image:PikaAngry.gif]]|msg=This user can be so angry, that he/she can use a Thunderbolt.}}
{{userboxbottom}}
I removed this user box cause all says is "This user has major anger issues!" I believe no one really cares about this userbox. So maybe we'll take a poll.
===Take out the Userbox===

===Comments===
The new Userbox proposal will sort this out. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 23:29, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

We didn't remove it so it should stay. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

*I've fixed it to be less offensive. Now can it stay? ~[[User:DarkZero|DarkZero]] [[Image:DarkZero Sig.gif]] 00:34, 5 November 2009 (EST)

==Trim==
Since the proposal has pasted, us users must get ride of the ones that seem pointless right. (Because no one did any thing when the proposal past.) So which ones should we get rid of. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:Well, start with 'this user is friends with __'. I'll tackle some of the favorite character ones. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 18:56, 21 October 2008 (EDT)
::I removing the ones that are piont less like This User think Luigi should be called Mama Luigi and This User thinks that a Pirate goomba is really a Pirate goomba. [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Princess Grapes Butterfly]]
:::Awesome; users can make those on his/her own. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 19:06, 21 October 2008 (EDT)
::::Finshined. The page has been trimed!! {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:::::Looks good. Kudos. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 19:27, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

:::::::Umm the page has gaps is that normal? {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
::::::::Where? {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}
:::::::::Nvm. Fixed. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}
:Nevermind my mistake. (O_o I seeing thing today.) {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
::no no. There is some space thingy on the bottom. Your rite rofl {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}
:::Really. (Srsly I thought I was seeing things.) {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

==New idea==

This is my new idea of a new userbox. I recently got this book that says if you practice Confucianism, then you will be invincible. If Bowser wants to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, then maybe he should adopt Confucianism. 
{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox|border=green|mainbkgd=blue|codebkgd=black|codecolor=red|code=[[Image:Bowsersm64.png|45px]]|msg=This user thinks that Bowser needs to learn Confucianism.}}
{{userboxbottom}}

{{User|I will help the mariowiki a lot}}

==Some new userboxes==

{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox|border=red|mainbkgd=green|codebkgd=blue|codecolor=blak|code=<span style="font-size:6pt">What Nintendo should make</span>|msg=This user thinks that Nintendo should make the game ____________.}}
{{userboxbottom}}

{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox|border=red|mainbkgd=green|codebkgd=blue|codecolor=blak|code=<span style="font-size:6pt">What Nintendo should make</span>|msg=This user thinks that Nintendo should make the video game system ____________.}}
{{userboxbottom}}

{{User|I will help the mariowiki a lot}}

Um... you know you can add all those userboxes yourself. {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}

:I added them. {{User|I will help the mariowiki a lot}}

== Can I? ==

Can I put in this userbox?:

{{userbox|border=#A6D785|mainbkgd=#76EE00|Codebkgd=#488214|codecolor=#000000|code=[[Image:F_ThatsMamaLum_fb9046e.gif]]|msg=This user says, "That's Mama Luigi to you!".}}<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
{{User:Ultramariologan/sig|Pleeeeeeeeaaaase?}}

Oh whatever. Since no one is replying to me, I'll just run a poll.
:Sorry, the admins decided not to include all the userboxes we used to have. But you can still include these userboxes on your page :) {{User|Marioguy1}}

==Huh?==

What happened to all the other userboxes? Last time there was so many more Userboxes then this.--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}

Anyone know what happened?--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}
:Man, patience. They were removed from the page after an admin discussion. --{{User:Tucayo/sig}} 16:01, 13 January 2011 (EST)

Ok I was just curious Tucky.--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}
:However I feel the need to point out that you're still allowed to have those userboxes; this page is just being cleaned up. {{User|Marioguy1}}

== >8( ==

That was a really stupid idea to take out all the userboxes.  What was wrong with them.
{{User:Beecanoe/sig}}

:There's nothing wrong with them; they were removed to save space because there was an overabundance of them...

{{User:Phoenix/sig}} 20:03, 28 March 2011 (EDT)

Why can't we make subpages or something? {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 18:25, 8 April 2011 (EDT)

The admins agreed that they were a waste of space that did little with the Wiki and only encouraged users to edit their userspace more. The userboxes are now only Wiki-related (except for the basic ones at the bottom). {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}

:Oh, okay. But at least we can still create our own (which we know that our creations will always be better than these). Sorry, but that is what everybody thinks of his or her own creations most of the time. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 03:08, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

::Yes, you still can create your own userboxes.

{{User:Phoenix/sig}} 04:17, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

==userboxpics==
HEY! What happened to all the past userbox images!?! We can keep the old userboxes but without the (previous) userbox images, the (previous) userbox images are not as fun as they used to be! {{User:VideoBoo/sig}}

They wanted to keep only the example boxes as a starting point. I think they said that the previous way encouraged excessive mainpage edits and excessive length to the article. I loved the ones that were there, and thus look in the history to view them. It is great that the history is there and not too confusing. {{User:Geniusguy445/sig}}

woaaaahh. i guess it's called looking at the previous comment answering that question. {{User:Geniusguy445/sig}}

The userbox images were all deleted because none of them linked to MarioWiki:Userbox, which is a requirement for them. Everyone was given about a week to mark any that they wanted as PIs. {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}

== PipeProject Crap ==

May an administrator delete the PipeProject userboxes? PipeProjects do not exist anymore. Thank you. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 21:38, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
:They still exist they just aren't being used so your still a member of them in a sense {{User|Raven Effect}}

== Green tick ==

I think the [[MarioWiki:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]] userbox be changed from this...

{{userboxp|border=green|mainbkgd=lightgreen|codebkgd=black|codecolor=green|code=[[Image:Checkmark.jpg|45px]]|msg=This user's edits are '''Autopatrolled'''.}}<br>
<br>
<br>
...to...

{{userboxp|border=green|mainbkgd=lightgreen|codebkgd=white|codecolor=green|code=[[File:Chechmark2.png|43px]]|msg=This user's edits are '''Autopatrolled'''.}}<br>
<br>
<br>
In regards to the general appearance and quality of the image. Does anyone agree? 

{{User:YoshiKong/sig}}

It does look somewhat better. {{User:Humbug/sig}}

== Making/Ripping Sprites ==
http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Userbox#Other --->  "This user is a n00b on ripping sprites. " The template actually show "making" sprites and not "ripping" sprites. We should correct this. {{User|Banon}} 13:44, 5 November 2012 (EST)

:I'll ask an admin to correct it.

:{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 01:00, 7 November 2012 (EST)
== Create a table for Religion templates ==

Hey guys,I think we should be including a table for user religion userbox templates. It can be for any religion and can be a good source to find the appropriate template for each user on which religious background they are from or if they are multi-religious (Half Christian and Half Jewish as an example). For example, here is my religion userbox template: 
{{userbox|border=#6EF7A7|mainbkgd:#FFF0E8|codebkgd=#FFB3B3||codecolor=black |code=http://www.mariowiki.com/images/0/0d/Islamic_symbol_small.png|msg= This user is a Muslim.}} 
Keep in mind that this is just an example of one. This should be an easy convenient place for this particular kinds of Userbox templates.
