Warriors Wiki talk:Userboxes

Language
I don't know if anyone even checks this, but here are some language userboxes. Note that only one level exists as of now, but more can be created later. There are many more than I have created. The list can be found here.

Here they are:

These are pretty awesome, Lightning, especially the ubbi dubbi one XD I used a few on my page :D Anyways, I don't know how they're supposed to be 'made official' or anything, since this project is inactive, and Bramble said getting it running again is not a top priority due to its being not a content project. So... I don't really know where things are going to go with this, sorry! insaneular   Talk  11:43, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

I'd convert all these in a single template, used f.i. as or , so we won't eventually have hundreds of templates, only one. I will look into it, if that's OK with you. Helixtalk 18:35, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

that would be good. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  10:30, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Ideas for Userboxes
So, if the project is started up, I'd like to hear your proposals for userboxes you think we should create. Languages - that's pretty much decided. Maybe some non-Warriors preferences (sports, animals, music), information about the user (location, education, girl/boy, how many cats do they own), things related to the user's work on this wiki (or others) etc.

That said, suggest only those you really consider important and would like to use on your profile (or believe that many people would use it). No reason to invest our time in making lots of unnecessary templates. Please comment on each other's ideas as well, so I could see if many users desire a certain userbox.

I also saw several unofficial userboxes on pages (like "friends with...", editcount, irc) - please suggest the ones you'd like to become official, and I'll list them on the project page.

Kind regards, Helixtalk 19:45, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure about education: I don't think many people would tell where they were or are being educated. For the official part, as the creator of both the editcount userboxes and the friends with userbox, I would like it to be official. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  10:13, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it was a random idea (actually I didn't think about being educated or not, but rather about what do/did they study, e.g. arts, science). That's why I asked for comments. :) Helixtalk 11:43, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Boxes About The User
I have an idea for some boxes about the person behind the computer: I hope this gets some ideas rolling. If you have anymore suggestions, just place them, though it make take awhile since Helix needs time to get the project started.
 * Eye Color - Each box would have a character with that respective eye color.
 * Hair Color - Same as eye color except with hair/fur color.
 * Boy/Girl
 * Country

I made some of these, see below... but not yet as a template. Helixtalk 21:35, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

They look great! 雨 晶須  22:09, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Project userboxes
Well, the ones for the other projects are fine, and I might've overlooked this, but I think it would be a good idea to have userbox for this project. To show you are a warrior/deputy/leader, like the other project. This might be significant, now that this has ranks. Ideas or comments? → •Maple  fern•  ←  21:29, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course, these will be the first we'll create. Helixtalk 11:43, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Gender Userboxes
How do these look? Note: I took the pictures from Wikipedia (they've been released into public space by the owner), and put them into one template.

Sorry, I can see I made some mistake. I'm not good with expressions. lol. I don't have the time time to fix it now. Helix, if you could? Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  11:53, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed them; I might further tweak them later. Helixtalk 12:48, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Erm...I don't think users want to project their gender to the wiki..... Clar  ris  sa! :)  18:48, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually Clara, I know a lot of people with their gender posted on their user page and this would help to avoid confusion if people do use it as often people do not know whether other users are male or female which makes it difficult when referring to them in the third person. Just a thought. I like these (despite not being an actual member of the project yet). I have one question however: do we need both sets? or would one style do? ✐Sa  NdY  19:07, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I also saw many users indicating already on their pages if they are boys / girls (and even their surnames). Those who don't want, simply don't post it. Sandy: I'd say we don't need two almost identical sets; but they are worth keeping if we differentiate them more (e.g. one set says male/female, the other boy/girl, the third tom/she-cat...). Helixtalk 20:04, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, this is just a random suggestion so feel free to ignore it if you don't like it, but maybe we could either make another version or switch these to the text versions of the symbols? (♂ and ♀) and That way the colors could be adjusted to our needs more easily if needed and there wouldn't be a white background. As I said, just an idea, if you guys like the image versions i have no issues with them :)  i nsaneular The original Hazelnut spread 11:05, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think perhaps you're right Insane. -- Sandy star 17:30, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

That works too: A drawback is that I cannot make the symbol thicker (even font-weight:bold has no effect) and some systems / browsers might not display unicode symbols (please let me know if you don't see the symbol correctly, just a box / question mark?) Helixtalk 20:48, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

It looks great, but I'm still fine with that or the images if other people can't see the symbol (I had thought of that problem after I suggested it ^^;). It shows up on both of my computers, but it might be different for other browsers or operating systems, as both of the ones I use are the same OS and internet browser.  i nsaneular The original Hazelnut spread 22:28, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Fanfic / Roleplay?
I saw in a few profiles "User is a member of Warriors Fanfic wiki" and "User is a member of (whatever roleplay site)". Do we need official userboxes? (I saw only a few members having these). Helixtalk 20:04, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Well, maybe if they were official, more people would know they exist since I've never seen them. In the end though, it's up to you, and your deputy if you have one.-- Moonflight A Star In Her Own Mind... 20:10, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, but to decide, I must see if users are interested in it. I'm here to serve, not to rule :) Helixtalk 20:17, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

I think we could maybe do this by request from users? Some of the ones out there are outdated, for inactive roleplays and on the pages of inactive users. Maybe for the newer sites people could request them if there were a bunch of people wanting them rather than just one? -- Sandy star 17:31, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

For fanfics: I noticed this template, and I also made a generic one. These also put the users in a WWikian sub-category. For roleplay, I'm waiting for feedback. Helixtalk 20:06, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not an official member of this project, but I think that a roleplay userbox isn't neccesary, because some roleplay sites are inactive, as you said, so I think it's not neccesary. Also, I think some users have their own roleplay sites, and they would want one for their own site, so it would just end up with a bunch of roleplay userboxes. 雨 晶須  21:21, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, this project has been redundant for as long as I can remember and it's good to see it up and running again, and in competent hands. I'll find myself commenting on stuff anyway and I like to keep up to date with everything that's going on on the Wiki so I think joining is a good option ^_^ If you'll put up with me, that is. -- Sandy star 20:23, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand where that extra "{" comes from. I triple checked, but might have overlooked something. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I don't repeat it? Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  10:54, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Check solution here. If it is not clear, just ask. :) I will do some more work on it later to reduce size to half with a few tricks... also, do we need different colors for each level? maybe we should differentiate colors by language... or use the same color for all (like on wikipedia). Kind regards, Helixtalk 13:22, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * You did not close the "main" switch
 * Never place includeonly (or similar) tags within functions!
 * When you place tables within functions, you must use | instead of | for the table pipes
 * Template expected, transclusion supplied
