[edit] Request for african ancestry box
Could someone make an African Ancestry (possibly afro-american) ancestry box because I am not black but my grandmother is and I would like to represent it.Squall1991 21:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for first fleet box
I would like to request a box for those of us descended from the convicts who came to Australia on the First Fleet.Squall1991 21:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "American Box" is racist
The Ellis Island inclusion in that userbox focuses solely on European-American immigration. By implication, then, are all non Euro-Americans NOT real Americans?
- Not in the least, although the template's name could be a bit more subtle. A lot of Americans can trace their ancestry back to Ellis Island (perhaps {{User Ellis Island}} would be a better name...?). Others, however, may be of Native American ancestry, or maybe of Japanese descent, or Puerto Rican, and can use those userboxes. If your ancestry isn't covered by the template, then use one of the others, or make one that does cover your ancestry. Grutness...wha? 07:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] X years old?
No "this user is X years old"? --Ihope127 20:48, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
There is now. It's {{user age}}. Daniel 22:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chav and Notchav
If anyone knows a more suitable place to put chav and notchav, please move it and tell me on my talkpage. Daniel 22:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] steps
Would anyone be interested in (better yet, willing to make) a userbox for us stepparents? Although I do like the idea of people seeing that I'm both a father and childless and getting confused --♥ «Charles A. L.» 18:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Babel-like template
I am familiar with the Babel language template (I may be using the wrong words) where it's feasible to section-off the languages one speaks... Is there, by any chance, a similar template for one's ancestry? I have ancestors from several different countries and was hoping to make a neat section on my userpage. --Brian1979 22:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Swiss ancestry box
If anyone is able, I'd very much appreciate if a Swiss ancestry box could be made. --Brian1979 01:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I second that emotion. I'd make it myself if I knew how. Lewiscode 01:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Scratch That the Swiss template I made should be working I'll just add it to the list Lewiscode 01:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Only one gender in the main gallery
Why the "female" userbox was moved via the German userbox solution? From what I read, I thought that was mainly done only with controversial userboxes. Is it needing to be worked on due to a botched code or something? The reason I'm considering that is because the other userboxes regarding gender are on there. Not that it's a big deal, I was just curious as to why it was moved. --Elec 16:51, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm working on moving the male one as well, there's just more links to correct, so it's taking longer. —Mira 05:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Year of birth
How about adding a box similar to the age, but with the year of birth instead?--I hate to register 18:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User: famous
Why was this deleted without any explanation? --Hazelfo 05:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lifestyle
I've added the lifestyle userbox category. For now it will only contain one userbox by me but I will add more userboxes.

- Got removed. Don't really understand why as I never found how it violented the userbox policy.

[edit] Sexual Orientation
No??? I think it'd be good. Tell me if it's located somewhere else, I looked in every category it could be in, but couldn't find it.
[edit] Religion
I'm feeling somewhat left out here. Would a ubx that at least gives a nod to Atheism be considered "controlversial" if put in that section? I can't find any user-made ones, but if anybody does find one, let me know. Thadius856 02:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Muslim userbox, Userbox Migration Policy, problem with the tlrow template
1. As for the Muslim userbox, it doesn't have its own page as its own page was recently deleted. Per the [[Wikipedia:Userbox_migration| Userbox Migration policy], all of the religion userboxes should be moved to user namespace. The Muslim one was just the first one to be moved.
2. Please don't be like the recent anonymous user (just an IP address) who replaced the first userbox here with the second:
 |
This user is a Muslim. |
 |
This user is a Muslim. |
. I don't care if the one from MiraLuka's userspace (the second one) has Arabic script in it, it seriously looks like balls and the first one is the recognized Muslim symbol anyway.
3. The {{tlrow| template has a problem with images from Wikimedia Commons. As per the Wikimedia Commons image policy, most of the images currently shown in userboxes will be deleted as Wikimedia Commons images can usually be freely used in place of images from Wikipedia and it's policy to not have duplicate images. For instance, [[Image:something]] links just fine to an image and it really doesn't matter whether the image is on Wikimedia or Wikipedia. However, the tlrow template has a problem with this, as I stated earlier. It's being worked on, but nothing much will probably be happening with it until about the end of next week. Anyway, that's why the image isn't showing up in some userboxes. Banaticus 09:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like balls? That's the word for Allah!
- Anyhoo it doesn't matter to me which symbol it is, I just found the userbox through a Wikipedia
search and placed it in its own page. Well, thanks for the thorough explaination, I appreciate it. Though I'm still perplexed as to why the Muslim user template is the only one and it has been 5 days already, so what is the delay with the others? --Inahet 19:39, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I find it kind of ironic that the Muslim usebox was moved to user space but the one for Scientology wasn't. oTHErONE (Contribs) 11:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Religeous Userboxes
What happened to the religeous userboxes? They just dissapeard overnight! I want them back! --Gerrado 22:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Religious Userboxes
Why aren't there userboxes for religion?
[edit] Tamil userbox
I would like to know how to go about creating or requesting one or more userboxes for Tamil ethnicity.
ex:
"This user is proud to be Tamil"
"This user is of Tamil ethnicity"
"This user is an ethnic Tamil"
For the pic, it would be similar to the Dravidian userbox pic except it would show the map of Tamil Nadu, and Northeastern Sri Lanka, which depicts where the ethnic Tamils originate. If someone could point me in the right direction on going about this it would be highly appreciate.
Thank you.
