[edit] P2P Software Templates repetition (wasn't vandalism!!!!)

I copied all the templates in this pages Software section and also created new ones which I put under Userboxes/Computing as they fit under computers more than music. So the list of P2P softwares on this page should be deleted as this would be repetition of templates. this should make this page focus more on music and musical preferences...(apologise if i accidently deleted any useful stuff)--Wikipedian DOG 13:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Can I suggest "user recognizes music when he hears it"? Trekphiler 05:30, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requests

could someone please make: "this user is a rapper" and "this user enjoys hip-hop" if you have time could you also please make userboxes for dj's hip-hop producers, etc. thank you--Urthogie 04:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I made a template for users who enjoy hiphop music. Template:User_HipHop. -WindFish 06:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I put it on my page!--Urthogie 09:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

WHERE IS THE JPOP? YOU CANT HAVE MUSIC WITH OUT JPOP! YOU KNOW?!ANIME MUSIC! COME ON PLEASE!--saikano 20:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Indie music

Can someone make an "I like Indie music" genre userbox? I would, but wouldn't want to screw up something important! --BakugekiNZ 04:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Indie music is a big vague. Are you talking about the folkish soft rock thing, or all independant music, or indie pop, or indie rock, or what?--Urthogie 08:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Indie rock really. --BakugekiNZ 10:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

OK I'll make one, give me a second.--Urthogie 10:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Done, check the page :)--Urthogie 11:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

TY --BakugekiNZ 22:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I think I was the first one to add one to my list. I finally found where the bloody userboxes were on Wikipedia.. :-) --Madchester 00:23, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative userbox

How bout an alternative rock box? - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 23:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Made it: {{user altrock}}--Urthogie 20:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nine Inch Nails

Created the Nine Inch Nails box...can't have a dead link in the list, it's tacky. Willbyr 18:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bands with Multiple-Meaning Names

The "Fan" boxes are fantastic, but bands like Cream and Queen can't really be used with them. Is there a way to work around this? I'm a die-hard fan of Queen, and I'd love to be able to use a "fan" box without having to put (band) after the name Queen so that it redirects to the right page. --Freakazette 05:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Simply put [[Queen (band)|Queen]] in the text; this will show up as Queen but will link to the band's article. This format is universal for Wikipedia. Willbyr 06:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC) (edited to have nowiki tags Overand 11:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC))

• I tried that, actually. It still does the exact same thing. --Freakazette 03:05, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I created userboxes for Queen and Cream and put them in the Bands section. Hope you like them. :-) Willbyr 05:22, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needed

• conductor
• violin

Sumthingweird 16:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I have stuck a conductor one on the new userbox page, for whatever it's worth. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 17:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request disco box

Could a talented person put together a user box for "this user likes disco music" ... discospinster 20:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, I made one. ... discospinster 02:33, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Left, right, left right...

how 'bout a box for people who love to march in the band? Tobias087 02:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baritone Horn

Hey all. I play the Baritone (Horn) and was sad to see that this page lacks a premade Baritone userbox.

I have one on my Talk page (Which is in desperate need of cleaning, so don't go there straight away).

Is there any one with the universal format for Music boxes that could just add a Baritone one?--Logical2u 20:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Madonna (entertainer) problems

I am trying to clean up some pages that have Madonna instead of Madonna (entertainer). Some people have the userbox {{user artist-0|Madonna}} and I want to change it so it point to [[Madonna (entertainer)]] but to still say Madonna. Does anybody know how this could be possible? Thanks. Gadig 02:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese traditional music?

Can there be a userbox template for "this user enjoys Chinese traditional music"? --Bluejay Young 05:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I think adding logograms for "chinese traditional music" may improve the general appearance of this userbox but I don't speak chinese. Anyone?Rosa 07:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AC/DC

I personally think that the boys from Sydney diserve their own userbox. While I'm far to wiki-illiterate to make one myself, I was wondering if anyone else could create one. Personally, I'd like the text to be "This user rocks out to the Thunder From Down Under". Much appreciated! (USMA2010 04:15, 23 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Fife template

The fife template points to the wrong article. It should be Fife (musical instrument)|fife]]. I tried to fix this, but couldn't work out how.--Dbolton 02:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Banjo

Does the banjo get no love? If we can specify "saxophone with circular breathing," and "fife," at least include the banjo. --Hazelfo 18:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reggae music

I'm trying to make a box for Reggae. Smiloid 02:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimusic

What do you think of this---Seadog--fly on....littlewing 20:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barbershop Quartet

I created this template for barbershop quartets, and I tried using the existing logo for the Barbershop Harmony Society, but for some reason it refuses to scale. If someone has a clue for me why it won't scale, please fix the template. Once it's fixed it can be added to the page, I assume? -- S. Gartner ^talk 11:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greg Louganis

Okay, so it's funny for all of two seconds, but can someone sort out the 'band' box, please? I would, but I lack the technical know-how. Cheers! User:Wozocoxonoy 19:00, 28 November 2006 (GMT)

[edit] Template:Band-3

if you put "band-3|whatever" it wont work on your profile page, but it works here. why is that?--Lygophile 10:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vocalist

Might I suggest a "This user is a vocalist" userbox? Perhaps with subcategories: folk, opera, rock, etc. There's no more popular instrument than the human voice! Kyriosity 14:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like one. Egfrank 08:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] J-POP

if it isnt to much to ask, can someone make a J-POP catagory please?--Lolicon3043910 18:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

You can make userboxes yourself if you want. Ashibaka (tock) 03:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

you seew thats the problem, I cant but il try it again!--Lolicon3043910 13:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Userboxes

What are the requirements for a userbox to be "qualified" to be shown on this page? I have a perfectly good Ozzy Osbourne userbox I've already submitted to the new userboxes page that I could post under Artists. How will I be allowed to do that?
