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?
I am Confused 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. 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.

Take out the Userbox

1. Xzelion^ETC
2. Hk
3. Gofer
4. KPH2293
5. André, Do your homework !!!

Keep the Userbox

1. Wa _T^C_@^Y, it's just sarcasm!
2. rend (talk) (edits), I could say NOT REMOVE THIS! And I made it. Why then DELETE?
3. User:Baby Yoshi Kid/sig, keep it, I want to put it on my user-page!
4. User:KoopaTroopaRock/sig, keep it! Please!
5. I rather like it!

Comments

The new Userbox proposal will sort this out. — Stooben Rooben 23:29, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

We didn't remove it so it should stay. Grapes

• I've fixed it to be less offensive. Now can it stay? ~DarkZero 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. Grapes

Well, start with 'this user is friends with __'. I'll tackle some of the favorite character ones. — Stooben Rooben 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. Princess Grapes Butterfly

Awesome; users can make those on his/her own. — Stooben Rooben 19:06, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

Finshined. The page has been trimed!! Grapes

Looks good. Kudos. — Stooben Rooben 19:27, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

Srsly. Super-Yoshi^{Talk? C???}

Umm the page has gaps is that normal? Grapes

Where? Super-Yoshi^{Talk? C???}

Nvm. Fixed. Super-Yoshi^{Talk? C???}

Nevermind my mistake. (O_o I seeing thing today.) Grapes

Really. (Srsly I thought I was seeing things.) Grapes

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.

Userboxes's Userbox Tower
This user thinks that Bowser needs to learn Confucianism.

I will help the mariowiki a lot (talk)

Some new userboxes

What Nintendo should make This user thinks that Nintendo should make the game ____________.

Um... you know you can add all those userboxes yourself. Fawfulfury65

I added them. I will help the mariowiki a lot (talk)

Can I?

Can I put in this userbox?:

|-

This user says, "That's Mama Luigi to you!".

Happy Halloween!

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 :) Marioguy1 (talk)

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. --™ The 'Shroom 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. Marioguy1 (talk)

pastuserboxes

Should have thought of it, all we have to do to see ALL those past userboxes is see it's history at [2]

>8(

That was a really stupid idea to take out all the userboxes. What was wrong with them. I serve Dry Bowser! Dry Bowser OWNS!
