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)

Language Template
Template:Language

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

Thanks a lot, Helix. btw, added a 1337 section for users capable of leetspeak. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  04:46, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Added more Non-ISO languages: Ubbi Dubbi, Pig Latin, Internet Slang, and Lazy English. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  06:34, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

As for colours, I like different colours for each level. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  06:38, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Added Spanish. Any other Language to be added? Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  08:47, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Could we add Chinese? I have translated text here: 這個人說中文. = This person speaks Chinese. 雨 晶須  01:27, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

How about Korean? I have it here: 이 사람은 한국말을 합니다 =This person speaks Korean. Sky wish  Let's go May 18th! 00:00, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'll do it, taking the text from Wikipedia. btw, if you want userboxes for more languages, translate the texts given below into the language you want.

For English:

"This user does not understand English (or understands it with considerable difficulty)." (Level 0)

"This user can contribute with a basic level of English." (Level 1)

"This user can contribute with an intermediate level of English." (Level 2)

"This user can contribute with an advanced level of English." (Level 3)

"This user can contribute with a near-native level of English." (Level 4)

"This user can contribute with a professional level of English." (Level 5)

"This user is a native speaker of English." (Default, for users from England or anywhere else where English is the national language)

Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  06:51, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Done. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  11:55, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

new userbox ideas.
Hi, I thought we could make userboxes saying what wikias you are on, also we could make one saying how old we are... What do you think? Also, why am I an apprentice? Do I have to make a userbox before being a warrior? That'd make sence. Zoe27 18:08, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Warriors are those who have experience with wiki code and functions. I see that you have only 6 edits in the mainspace and 0 edits in templates. You need to get more experienced with it. Helixtalk 19:09, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, this looks real daft, but...It's my first userbox. Is it okay?? Zoe27 18:19, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a start, but I suggest the following:
 * Reduce the image to "userbox size" - it is extremely large!
 * You should also add a flag to the box, and make it user-selectable; i.e. if the user enters something like, it displays an American flag, if they enter  , it displays a Canadian flag etc
 * Helixtalk 19:09, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not a member of this project; I just thought I'd comment xD I'm not so sure we should have user boxes for this kind of thing...it doesn't really have anything to do with warriors.  ☻Nightfall☻ Follow the brightest star in the sky! 18:36, May 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Userboxes are about users... not about Warriors... :) Helixtalk 19:09, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

I know, but they did one for gender and eye colour, etc. They said they needed these done, so i tried. Zoe27 18:43, May 19, 2010 (UTC) p.s- I can't get it smaller.

Well, then this just shows how much I know xD My bad, Zoe  ☻Nightfall☻ Follow the brightest star in the sky! 18:54, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Here is one I made for Canadian Users. How is it?-- N i g h t s h i n e    {   05:45, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Looks nice, but the image was a little bit small, so I enlarged it a bit. And Zoe, the coding should not be as you did, but a simpler. Here's my draft:

I didn't want to upload images unnecessarily if my idea wasn't accepted, but I think this userbox would look better if on the left, it had the map of Canada.

Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  07:11, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

For the left image, we can also use this globe. Helixtalk 11:44, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

That looks great. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  09:54, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

User Name
Template:User Name

I noticed a lot of people (including you, Helix) display their full or first names on their userpages, so I decided to make this template. Perseuς | Perseus ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  11:54, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's OK. Maybe you should give an option to enter a nickname for the left box, instead of displaying a part of the actual name. Helixtalk 18:05, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * That can be done in the first input option. I'll change the default to 0, so it'll display the full thing if the second value is not given. Perseuς | Perseus  ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  14:06, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I changed it, but it cannot be shown using the usbk template, but it works. See here. Perseuς | Perseus  ,  Thou art not the hero | Thou art not the hero  07:26, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Wikian
Based on Zoe's idea above, I made a box showing if you contribute on some other wiki (besides Warriors). Check Template:Wikian. Helixtalk 18:47, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Images
Just a suggestion since I know most userboxes will need images, and Bramble and I try to keep the image number as low as possible, if you upload an image to Photobucket you can then copy its URL and simply paste it onto a wiki page and it will be embedded without having to upload it to the wiki. If it isn't too much trouble, this could help save from uploading images for userbox ideas that get declined or just make less images in general :) insane  brick'd 21:46, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. We can also link the images from wikipedia or other wikias (if they have a free use license), like the Country flags. Anyway, I guess the Countries is the last larger thing that needs to be done, and the project can end - there's really no more useful stuff I can think of to make. :) Helixtalk 06:54, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and that reminds me, for the Wikian userbox, if you made a parameter to choose a different image, people could put in the URL of the specified wiki's logo, and it would show up (images from other wikis can be embedded with URLs as well). Just an idea to throw out there :) insane  brick'd 11:31, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * The problem with linking pictures from other sites is that you cannot resize them. If it is on this wiki, you can simply write whatever.png, but if you link from another site, you cannot use this method (you just paste the entire link without the File: thing, there is no way to resize it, unless there is a method I don't know of). So I cannot put wiki logos as they are 150x150, unless I rescale them and upload somewhere else. Helixtalk 15:42, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, you're right, I had forgotten that problem Dx I guess it won't be suitable for this purpose then unless the image is already small. insane  brick'd 15:43, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Colors
I saw many users posting their favorite colors on their userpage, so I made Template:Favcolor; see if you like it. Helixtalk 08:11, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Age
Template:User Age

I won't let this close so quickly Helix. :) Here's one showing the age of the user. If the value is in two digits, it prints the age, if in 3, prints the age and says the user is a ghost, if has a "|haunt", says the age, calls the user a ghost and says that they will haunt you. बंदर   को पकड़ो !!!  07:19, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
