Infosphere talk:Userboxes

I love this and I'd love to see more. These things rock and I'm going to start slappin' 'em on my page. And maybe adding a link to this page in the UserPage template, for new users to add the boxes... Mind if I make some tweaks? Or add some more? &rarr;Buddy&larr; 15:38, 25 December 2006 (PST)
 * Feel free, Humerbot 0.4 already added one of his own, and I'm sure you have a firm grisp on your own quality standards. I'm currently working on a new batch and I'm going to re-sort this page when I'm done but feel free to tweak things. I'm sure a spot can be made for the boxes on the userpage template. - Quolnok 16:11, 25 December 2006 (PST)

Templates?
Should we make the userboxes templates (like they do on Wikipedia) to make the page neater? -- 21:57, 6 January 2007 (PST)
 * I did it this way because, as Wikipedia has found, these things can clutter the place up and be difficult to manage. Also this was how hrwiki decided to do it, so I copied the general style of their box page. I suppose we could vote on it. What was that "Trying to prevent overlapping" change you made to the boxes table? It ruined the layout. - Quolnok 23:25, 6 January 2007 (PST)
 * I was going to suggest the same thing eventually, but Quolnok seems more knowledgeable on the subject, so it's really up to him. 11:56, 9 January 2007 (PST)
 * I'm honestly not sure which is best, sub templates make for cleaner userpages and index page, but the current style is more open to user creativity. If you've looked at my Wikipedia userpage lately you'll have seen my feelings on userbox standardisation. We're a relatively small community in comparison to 'kipedia so we'd likely be able to control the templates better than they do. So, I guess we'll see. - Quolnok 03:41, 10 January 2007 (PST)
 * Yep, we're moving them. - Quolnok 18:56, 13 January 2007 (PST)

New userboxes
I think there should be more userboxes:

That is the only one I can think at the moment, but it would be nice to see more. Thoughts? Chabby
 * "This user is a were-car"
 * "This user watches Futurama instead of sleeping"
 * "This user wishes they worked for DOOP"
