Template talk:User alternative account

Can be used to blame others for being SPs

Does anybody here think this userbox could be used in the same way as {{sockpuppet}}. I've seen people in the past vandalize people's userboard with a SP notice. What guideline should this template be used? --LBMixPro^{<Speak|on|it!>} 06:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I can see some legitamite uses such as;

• Bots
• User who created a new account in good faith because they didn't like their old user name.
• And Cyde who seems to be collecting all boxes ever made.

Since both this and {{User Puppet Master}} seem more like fun-templates, they should as well be taken with a grain of salt. Especially {{User Puppet Master}} uses this "with multiple minions to do his/her bidding" phrase which reveals its joke nature. I say keep 'em both the way they are.

• This template, recently speedy deleted, is currently under deletion review please comment. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

This template was kept deleted after a silly debate that avoided addressing the CSD under which it was deleted. --Dschor 01:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

To be more accurate, the old template was kept deleted after it was decided somehow that this reworded current template doesn't have a strong-enough connection to the old one to be identified as the same, so they seem to have been treated as two different templates. --AySz88^-^ 01:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:User alternate acct → Template:User alternative account — Per Wikipedia:Commonality, we should use 'alternative' over 'alternate' in this context; this is the only template of its kind that does not. There is also a trend to no longer use made-up abbreviations in template names. McLerristarr | Mclay1 13:21, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

• Support I suppose, doesn't matter much, but the proposed name is clearer.--Kotniski (talk) 07:38, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
• Support. In addition to the new name being clearer it also matches a related template {{User alternative account name}}. Themeparkgc  Talk  08:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

changing template

My edits were reverted, can someone please help me with the coding? I am trying to make Template:User_alternative_account more like the sockpuppet templates - for example - centered. What do you all think? Thewhitebox (talk) 10:36, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
