Warriors Wiki talk:Userboxes

Animal and Series
We could have:
 * This users faourite animal is horse or something.

And then: Some thing like that. Thanks Γǻώή  ςτόŗm  13:38, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * THis User's favourite series is The New Prophecy

Yes, good idea. And maybe if they own animals, like "This user has 3 cats". Any volunteers for making it, or can I make it myself? Helixtalk 16:27, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea. And can I help make them? 雨 晶須  21:30, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, thank you! Helixtalk 21:33, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

I'm a bit rubbish at making templates, but I can find some pictures to use if you'd like. I will give Userboxes a shot. xD Γǻώή  ςτόŗm  09:38, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Like, would work. → •Maple  fern•  ←  13:58, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'll try to make the dog one. Is it ok if I use images from Google, or do I have to draw them myself? 雨 晶須  20:53, June 5, 2010 (UTC) You can use any image, unless it is copyrighted. SCARY MONSTERS with scarier alligators  and  suffering all around 13:33, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if we should use images because of the large diversity; we'll end up with maybe hundreds of them in the end. In any case, try linking images from other wikias (see how I did it in the User From template) to avoid cluttering up the wiki with lots of images. Helixtalk 13:36, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

I will do the series one. I'll give it a shot. Γǻώή ςτόŗm  15:09, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'll make a cat one.Gol den thorn Epic!

Could we use words instead? (The linking thing looks kind of complicated.) 雨  晶須  20:38, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Template:User Animal

Add more animals, change colours as necessary. SCARY MONSTERS with scarier alligators  and  suffering all around 08:51, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

I thought I was doing the dog userbox? And I'll make a New Prophecy series userbox. 雨 晶須  01:56, June 8, 2010 (UTC)#

I though I was doing the NP userbox? I'm confuzzled. Γǻώή ςτόŗm  09:10, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hi all! How it is going, do you need any help? Also, can you please post here who is doing what (e.g. which book), so everyone could keep track? For the books, I suggest to make a single template where the book can be specified with an argument (instead of different templates for each book). Thanks for your work and kind regards, Helixtalk 04:10, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Ooh! Can we add penguins?Sky wish16  I'm Bob the Weasel and I'm SQUEAKY CLEAN! 17:18, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Oh I thought you were doing the series one userbox, Fawnstorm. Do you still want to do that one or the New Prophecy? How about we organize it like this: For example: 雨 晶須  23:36, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * (Name of Userbox) - User
 * Penguin - Willowpool16

Sure, sure. Just one thing though. For the animals, don't make separate templates. Just put them into Template:User Animal. SCARY MONSTERS with scarier alligators  and  suffering all around 04:07, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

They are looking OK, just mind the dimensions. Helixtalk 17:58, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

err... can someone help? For some reason the border isn't showing up. I might've left something out or messed up the coding... sorry. -- 雨 晶須  01:57, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi! You did not "close" the quote for the style definition, and put a colon between "solid" and "Black" in the border definition. I fixed it for you. Kind regards, Helixtalk 18:26, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Added image and link. SCARY MONSTERS with scarier alligators  and  suffering all around 05:38, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Helix and Grayravenpaw! 雨 晶須  14:55, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Template: Warriors Pet Peeves
Hey! I made a new userbox! This userbox is about warriors pet peeves, the things people find most annoying about different characters in the warriors series! I just made two characters for now, Crowfeather and Firestar, but with some time and effort I think it could be a good official userbox! What do you guys think?  ♦Echostar♦ Thank StarClan for greenleaf  ☼  17:13, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

By the way, here is one I made already: Lol that looks great! Maybe we could make some about the Clans too? 雨 晶須  23:43, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, just tell us your ideas. Helixtalk 17:57, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Like WindClan and ShadowClan hate kittypets, Ferncloud and Daisy like to stay in the nursery, Tallpoppy is getting really old, etc. -- 雨 晶須  01:28, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, I get it, good ideas! Helixtalk 18:36, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why don't we take the talk about warriors pet peeves to the talk page there? Is someone going to make or have made a Clan Pet Peeves userbox?  ♦Echostar♦ Thank StarClan for greenleaf  ☼  12:49, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Music
Do we need a userbox about favorite music styles / bands / singers? Just wondering... Helixtalk 18:04, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I guess. Icefall Icy Winds 18:10, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Here's one: and you could make more for certain types of music, like jazz, rock, classical, to name a few. -- 雨 晶須  23:52, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Blackclaw09: I see you created Template:Favorite Music. I modified it a little bit, and added more parameters. SCARY MONSTERS with scarier alligators  and  suffering all around 04:24, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

It's OK, but mind the size of the box, it should be 250 x 54px, same as most other userboxes. Reduce the image size so it won't extend the box too much. Helixtalk 05:29, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

On it. And Grayravenpaw, thanks! I had no clue how to organize it :P 雨  晶須  00:08, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

I changed the music note because when I tried to make it smaller it got all blurred. So I made a simpler one, as seen in the userbox above (I uploaded over the previous file to save space). Is it better? 雨 晶須  00:26, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * It still seems a bit too high, reduce the image until the box height is 54px or smaller. Helixtalk 17:56, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Thinking more about it, maybe we should have the following variations:
 * General: This user likes music - e.g.
 * Style: This user listens to - with code e.g.
 * Band / singer / composer: This user enjoys music by - with code e.g.
 * Playing an instrument: This user plays the - with code e.g.
 * Playing in a band, orchestra
 * Singing

Just some proposals to keep the ideas going... :) Kind regards, Helixtalk 18:35, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Update
Hi all, I updated the template a bit, with a new icon, changing colors and all; check Template:User Music. Hope you like it. Kind regards, Helixtalk 20:03, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was thinking, could we add 'play in a band' and 'play in an orchestra' too? 雨  晶須  22:56, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's already done... you can use, etc. You can enter anything there, and it will be displayed as you entered it. Helixtalk 07:52, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

I included this in the list on the main page, and will archive the discussion shortly if there are no other comments. Helixtalk 07:28, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Sports
One of the userboxes I propose to make is one about Sports:
 * User likes a certain sport
 * User participates in a certain sport

What are your opinions? Also, are there any volunteers for it, or should I create it myself?

Kind regards, Helixtalk 18:42, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

I'll try it! Holly Thornblade The True Warrior 11:42, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so I started the sports... Template:User Sports but it's not turning out so well... I think I got it but I had to upload the picture, and there are [s] around the link to Wikipedia's football article. Plus, I can't get it so that when you enter for it to automatically put the userbox on it. Help, please? Link is above. Holly Thornblade The True Warrior 12:26, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think we should add images for each different sport, we would end up with hundreds of them... In reply to your question, to select display based on different inputs, you can use a "switch" function. Or just display what the user entered, e.g. "This user plays " will display "This user plays Football" if he/she enters  . Check other simple userboxes for sample code, and you can find a tutorial on templates here. Good luck! Helixtalk 12:28, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

One point: The sport which Americans and some other nations call soccer, is actually called football around the world. The sport which is called football in America is called American football. Soccer and football are the same. There are other types of football, ie Australian Rules football, Rugby Union etc. American Football is also called gridiron football. Changed Football to American Football, and added other sports, and other versions.

Isn't football is other countries spelled fútbol? Also, we could add baseball, swimming, and hockey. 雨 晶須  15:04, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

You could Dance.eg:Ballet, Tap Dance, Acrobats, Cheerleading, Hip-Hop.... Z  Nightsong 17:34, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Idea
Halloo! I know I'm not a member of this Project but I have an idea. You could have things like This User Is:
 * Crazy
 * Angry
 * Happy etc etc. :) Birchy  I am a warrior at heart...  19:08, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

A mood indicator you mean. Well, people's moods change frequently, and maybe it's not a good idea to make a userbox for it because it would mean users should change their userpages several times a day to keep up with it, but that's only my opinion, of course. And it doesn't matter if you are a member or not; anyone can give ideas and suggestions. We are doing the userboxes for ALL members of the wiki, so we expect input from all of them. Helixtalk 20:22, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

What if you did: This User is generally a happy person. etc. -- Fawny Keep on Smiling :D 14:32, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that could work. And how about another parameter? For example, will give "This user is always happy", while  will give "This user is generally happy." SCARY MONSTERS with scarier alligators  and  suffering all around 04:13, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Join?
I know how to make simple userboxes, but I do tend to mess up when it comes to closing tags in coding. But I know fairly enough about userboxes, so I would like to contribute. Mo   us  et  al  on   !! Here comesSUMMER!   14:02, June 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Mousetalon, and thanks for applying. I added you as a Warrior of the project. Kind regards, Helixtalk 07:26, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Battles of the Clans Userbox
Okay, I've tried to make a Battles of the Clan user box, and I think I failed :P -

How does it look? Night Fall 07:19, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Night, it's OK, and thanks for your work. :) It was a bit small; I fixed the size. You may wish to update the colors, as the text is barely visible. Helixtalk 07:25, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
