StarshipSLS Vertical images like that don't work as well in my opinion for infoboxes. Is there a more square or horizontal image that would work? Carter (talk) 11:56, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
@Tcr25: Thanks for working on these. I am the IP address above, now registered. Thanks again! How often do you plan to make a userbox from this list? StarshipSLS (talk) 00:02, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Looks like the "loves NASA" one already exists. StarshipSLS, I'm not committing to making all of these, but I might do a few here and there. If time is of the essence for you, give The Super-Simple Userbox Maker a try. You can get the basic color and font scheme down there, then use Help:Userbox Maker and paste in your code to publish it.

@Tcr25: The Space Launch System image is out of date. I will try to find a good one. StarshipSLS (talk) 15:21, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

A userbox for Wikipedians who play League of Legends: Wild Rift and/or Genshin Impact? Those two games are in the current trends now, so why not?
Whoever that will create an userbox will be given a "thank you".

Hello, just wondering if anyone could make a Ariana Grande userbox, basically like ones previously made where they say "This user is a X fan" with a picture, except with this one it will say "This user is a Ariana Grande fan" with a picture of Ariana.
I understand there's probably a lot of requests so thanks a lot for your time and help, it's much appreciated.

I can't seem to find any templates about hating wearing face masks, using google meet or zoom or ms teams for online school, or being an anti vaxxxer. 98.148.167.84 (talk) 22:48, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

@Catfurball:Unfortunately, I was not able to find an image for the userbox. If you find one, please let me know and I can add it. Me or other users may do some of the other userboxes in the future.StarshipSLS (Talk), (My Contributions) 18:41, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
@Catfurball:I have noticed that you have sent in a lot of userbox requests lately. Would you like to make one yourself? If so, I can teach you how. It is not hard to do. StarshipSLS (Talk), (My Contributions) 18:43, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
@StarshipSLS: I'm way to busy and I'm not interested to make them. Can you please add photographs to the userboxes. And you should be careful on the background color, since some people are color blind. And also to let you know you don't create userboxes on this page. Catfurball (talk) 18:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
@Catfurball: I'll remember that. Do you have a suggestion for a good color? I could not find a good image. If you find one, please let me know. StarshipSLS (Talk), (My Contributions) 18:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
StarshipSLS, so sometimes it's about color other times it's about contrast. The dark blue you're using here with white text works fine from a colorblind perspective, but you need to tweak things so that the link is also in white. That link-blue on a dark blue background doesn't provide enough contrast for many viewers. You can use <span>...</span> to do it. Just treat the link as one you were rewriting and add the HTML after the pipe, for example: [[Jersey Zoo|<span style="color: {{{info-fc|#ffffff}}}">Jersey Zoo</span>]]. That keeps the wikilink valid while changing the font text from link-blue to white. Carter (talk) 19:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Sorry StarshipSLS, I didn't see that you were working on these ... Carter (talk) 19:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Doing fine! One suggestion is to look at the wikicode on boxes you want to emulate. There are often little tricks and hacks you can discover that way. For example, I try to be particular about keeping the boxes to 45px high, so I wrap <div>...</div> and some CSS around images to effectively crop them. Also see my note above for a tip on how to tweak the font color on links ... Carter (talk) 19:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'm the user who had a faulty nominations on the MfD page and also nominates promotions in the draftspace. I'm asking for a userbox that I hate the principles and practices of one kind of advertising to the public, the Ad creep.
"This user is against to any form of ad creep in public".
. So, even users in the future can customize this userbox to show which decade was the user a child!StarshipSLS (Talk), (My Contributions) 18:57, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
@Bhu1147: Tcr25 had to find a different image because the one you provided has been deleted. StarshipSLS (Talk), (My Contributions) 14:47, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
@StarshipSLS: The user box provided by you is very enough. I have deleted the image from Wikimedia as I don't wanted it to be here. Thank you for your help. Bhu1147 (talk) 02:47, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

On the left of each userbox there would be an image related to the subject.
This user is interested in obscure video game peripherals
This user never recycles electronics because its painful to them.
