[edit] List of Userboxes
(cross posted at several talk pages) I found that list, but since it was so old, I decided to make a new one... manually... (I should have mentioned this to someone before, so that they could talk me out of it : )
Sooo, several hours of typing/pasting/etc later...
They aren't a "huge" mess... but some observations:
- 1.) We should have a better or clearer naming convention, or something.
- There is no standard to capitalising the first word after "User " (it's about 50% lower/upper case). This also means that there are many hundreds of userboxes that are listed twice, once with an uppercase second word, and once with the lower case second word (though more than a few are redirects).
- several userboxes have a dash (-) or NO space between "User" and the first word.
- greek, russian, etc. letters in the name.
- the use of punctuation, such as "/" "," "..." etc.
- 2.) Several appear to be attempts to make userified templates. I'll work on moving those to each user's userspace.
- 3.) Many (very many) religion/politics ones are "back" in template space, it would appear that they just apparently "accidentally" haven't been added to the Userboxes sub-pages.
- 4.) there are more userbox redirects than the number of userboxes on a single subpage : )
- 5.) Oh, quantity of userboxes = 10027 (though that includes redirects, and 118 templates that have "user" as the initial word (though some of those have "userbox" as the first word). So it's roughly 10 thousand userboxes in template space. ouch.
Can I run away screaming now? : )
