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? Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 17:10, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

Perplexing query... I guess first you should reseperate usercreated.HK

No wait! Use subpages, and make the main page a hub.HK

Let's not worry about the length for now. But for one we should get rid of the User Created section and just separate them into proper categories. Most of these will be made by users so having a user created section makes no sense. --Steve (talk) 18:28, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

That's what I origanolly said.HK

Whatever you say for now, Steve. Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 19:56, 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. Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 23:41, 6 August 2006 (EDT)

Are you (Porplemontage) going to add templates later, or is it up to the rest of us? Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 16:51, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

I tried making one. It didn't really work too well.HK

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. --Steve (talk) 17:21, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

Lots of excitement in that statement.HK

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. Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 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. --Steve (talk) 23:38, 4 August 2006 (EDT)

As long as we can move the page contents so my work is not all for naught, I'd love to see the new system. :D Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 23:43, 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 Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 00:01, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

Wait, I think I get it from seeing Template:Userbox. The stuff between {{{ and }}} is replaced by the lines separated by |s in the template...very useful feature, better than the categories/templates that have just been deleted (00:06, 5 August 2006 (EDT)). Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 00:04, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

Yeah, it's all about changing the variables. --Steve (talk) 00:12, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

Is it possible to add pictures using this? Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 00:29, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

...Answered my own question again. Create another template with an image line! Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 00:31, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

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

Awesome. Except the {{userboxsample}} template is for displaying the userbox on this page, but the source code is supposed to use the {{userbox}} template, which is used in the actual towers. --Steve (talk) 07:59, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

I checked the penultimate diffs, you'll see plenty more today. :) Wayoshi ( T·C·@ ) 11:13, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

Why did you remove the sample template? I'm going to fix the page to show how I want it done so please follow my standards. --Steve (talk) 13:34, 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, Smeedel. / Talk - Contribs - You 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. --Steve (talk) 13:33, 5 August 2006 (EDT)

I thought that was the deal with userboxes :/ --It's-a me, Smeedel. / Talk - Contribs - You 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? --Steve (talk) 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?

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. Great Gonzo

Well, you removed many other userboxes also. ^Plumber

Ones that most likely really shouldn't be there you know. Great Gonzo

You removed the F-Zero, Animal Crossing, and Halo ones. ^Plumber

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

I don't think that's too specific. ^Plumber

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

That's OK. ^Plumber

Arend's Userbox

Userboxes's Userbox Tower

This user can be so angry, that he/she can use a Thunderbolt.

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.
