Progressive Grammar
You should create a user box that says 'this user supports using progressive grammar' & 'this user believes wikipedia should allow progressive grammar'. For anybody that doesnt know, progressive grammar means using '&' instead of 'and', '3' instead of 'three', '1st' instead of 'first', '%' instead of 'percent', & so on. As for the opposite you should also create 'this user supports using traditional grammar'. Traditional grammar is what wikipedia currently uses. All numbers have to be written out & ampersands are forbidden. SlashinatorX (talk) 23:07, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- Ampersands are not forbidden provided they're used appropriately. See MOS for more info. Zepppep (talk) 05:46, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

- It's too big, the black on blue is difficult to read and there's no wikilink to NFSW (which should probably be in capitals anyway). -- Skysmurf (Talk) 08:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Frightened Rabbit
I would like to suggest the creation of a userbox for the artist Frightened Rabbit. However, I currently have no idea how to create one myself. I will try to learn and see if I can bring in some design ideas. Other design ideas are welcome, because I really have no clue if I will be able to learn how to make one. :) Akihironihongo (talk) 08:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
FR | This user loves Frightened Rabbit. |

That's my idea. I don't really know what color to use for the id-c section, because i don't really know if there is a specific color that describes the band, so I just chose blue. Akihironihongo (talk) 09:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Userbox for Ford Explorer?
Could someone make a userbox that says "this user drives a Ford Explorer" with a pic of a 95-01 Explorer? Thanks. FPGT24 (talk) 13:28, 6 January 2012 (UTC)FPGT24
This user drives a Ford Explorer. |
- Here's a first attempt. For finetuning requests, feel free to ask either here or on my talk page.
- Note to add: I didn't notice that the user who made the request has been blocked until after I had made the userbox and wanted to add a {{Talkback}} to his/her talk page. Since the request itself seems perfectly legitimate, I'm posting it anyway. -- Skysmurf (Talk) 06:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Could someone please create a user box for Vision Vancouver? Something along the lines of "This user supports Vision Vancouver". Thanks. Guyinasuit5517 (talk) 05:14, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

You're a userbox, Charlie Brown
Can someone please help me create some Peanuts userboxes, I couldn't find any in existence. I would especially like one along the lines of "This user spends Halloween night waiting for The Great Pumpkin. Thanks a lot.--Welshsocialist (talk) 12:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- I suppose you already have some texts in mind, so I suggest you first try to find some images that you like (they need to look good in small sizes) and that are eligible for use in userboxes (they may not be copyrighted). Once you have images (or abbreviations if no images could be found) and ideas, the actual creation of a userbox isn't that hard and I'd be happy to show you. -- Skysmurf (Talk) 17:20, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- I found some here, but there may be rules about non-free images used in user boxes Category:Peanuts (comic strip) images--Canoe1967 (talk) 17:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, and that's the problem: fair use images are only allowed to use in articles (and thus not in userspace!). Regards, mabdul 19:06, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Ah! My Goddess
I want to make a userbox for Urd from Oh My Goddess (or Ah! My Goddess) that says something like "This user is half-demon half-goddess" (Maybe with a comment about Enka music?) (if you're clueless, she falls asleep when she hears enka) Colors based on her coustume. I noticed File:AMG.gif was used for the other Ah! My Goddess userbox and was hopeing someone could make one wing black and leave the other white. Thanks! ReelAngelGirl Talk to me! Tea? 18:07, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Several ideas for new userboxes
I have made several userboxes for my userpage over the past several months that could be used for multiple people throughout Wikipedia, and here they are:
This user is interested in the History of the Copts. |
This user is interested in the Islamic Caliphates. |
This user is a intereted in the History of the Song Dynasty. |
This user is interested in Southeast Asia |
This user is interested in the Spanish Empire. |
-LeftAire manually signed by penyulap
- They all look good, and ready for you to sort into the appropriate pages, I suggest go ahead. Penyulap ☏ 01:40, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Personality psychology userbox
For anyone who is interested in this subject, below is an idea for a userbox. The acronym OCEAN will be familiar to those with an interest in big five personality traits. I also considered using the Greek letter pi as a symbol of personality, but didn't like the look of it much, although it could catch on. Feel free to change the colour scheme to suit your own taste.
OCEAN | This user is interested in personality psychology |
Shas
User:Bzweebl/Shas I discovered that this wasn't listed at User:Ipatrol/Userboxes/Politics by country: A–K#Israeli Political Parties, so I made it based off of the other ones on that page for my user page. However, I still need help making the colors better (it should be a little lighter) so I can post it for other people to use. Bzweebl (talk • contribs) 20:03, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
University of New England (Australia) userboxes
The current UNE userboxes say "student or graduate" so I've created userboxes that specifies which one.
UNE | This user is a graduate of the University of New England |
UNE | This user is a student of the University of New England |
University of Sydney alumni
The current alumni userbox says "this user is an alumnus/a", which looks a bit awkward in my opinion, so I created some that allow one to specify. Plus I used the image of the main quadrangle, which I think looks nice, but feel free to fiddle.
This user is an alumnus of the University of Sydney |
This user is an alumna of the University of Sydney |

This user exhibits behaviour
Could someone create or teach me how to create a couple of user boxes?
Ideas
- "This user exhibits behaviour". With the greek letter psi as the picture (similar to the current template that says "this user is interested in psychology".) pinky/Purpley/blue box
- "This user uses a language". With the greek letter lambda as the picture (similar to the current template that says "this user is interested in linguistics" Orangey brown box.
- "This user exhibits brain activity". With a picture of a brain. Purple box
- "This user lives within a society". With a silhouette city picture. Red box.

Voting systems.
I have an idea for two new userboxes relating to voting systems in the Politics gallery. My fist suggestion criticizes First Past the Post. The userbox says This user thinks that First Past the Post is a bad idea. On the left is an image of a crossed out FPtP ballot. My second suggestion supports the Single Transferable Vote. The userbox reads This user support the Single Transferable Vote. On the left is an image of an STV ballot. (Tk420 (talk) 17:01, 12 August 2012 (UTC))
