[edit] Chain-letterish.

Probably the spread the wikilove part should be removed - albeit well-intentioned - so people don't complain about the chain-letterish aspect. I was going to be bold and do it myself but I'd rather someone else did. — Natha n ^{(Got something to say? Say it.)} 21:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Could be tweaked to, smile to relieve wikistress... etc. - Roy Boy ⁸⁰⁰ 14:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

There is a copy at User:Templateuser/Smile --GeorgeMoney ^T·C 16:04, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm also taking suggestions at User:Cowman109/smileproposal. I have nothing against changing the smile template to something less chain-letteresque. Cowman109^Talk 20:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Smiles good, chain-letters bad. -- Ned Scott 02:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why is the TFD message still appearing on the template?

Why? savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 12:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

It isn't: I removed it here (revision as of 22:34, 31 May 2006). The message wasn't originally bracketed with noinclude, so any versions of it that were substed between 03:57, 21 May 2006 and 04:13, 28 May 2006 will still have the TFD message in. Remove it by hand if it's bothering you. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 12:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Forecolour

I noticed on this user page that the forecolour attribute isn't specified in the div used for the smile templates, so the text came out white (the user asked me to add color: #FFFFFF at the top): I tried finding the template myself to alter this, but got lost in a circle of redirects!

Basically, all the needs doing is to add color: #000000; to the style section at the beginning of the div, which should ensure future versions display fine in every user page.

[edit] What's the opposite of Template:Simile?

Template:Finger!

ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE has given you the finger! Giving the finger promotes WikiHate and hopefully this one has made your day worse. Spread the WikiHate by giving the finger to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 05:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I enjoyed that. --ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 05:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The idea of giving "Template:Finger" to User:LBHS Cheerleader and User:Mmbabies makes me grin! The only problem is it would probably make matters worse. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

If I used that, would that be considered "vandalism"? GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 00:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, but "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference". Failed, you have. -- Ned Scott 05:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

But it did make me laugh. I have to admit, I tend to roll my eyes when I see a "smile" template on someone's talk page. -- Ned Scott 05:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Incorect you be, for I talk not of love, but of smiles. --ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 23:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Bah! Forget it. The opposite of a smile could just as well be interpreted as a frown. --ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 00:03, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Here is my interpretation of Template:Indifference.

ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE has given you the blank stare and no longer cares what you say. Possibly due to Hanlon's razor, which states "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.", or because this user knows he is correct no matter what you say. Spread the indifference by ignoring someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 23:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

--ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 23:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Not as funny huh. --ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 06:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I must have missed this due to my bloated watch list, but I think you might be on to something there :D (<- the irony!) -- Ned Scott 06:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I disagree, if you where to place emotions in a 1D space domain with love being positive and hate being negative and indifference being uh "zero" then they would be opposite. When you add other emotions each of which belong to their own dimension of emotional space it is most likely that "zero" would represent indifference or maybe death or both most likely. Or it may be possible that emotions don't have "opposites" where all dimensions of the emotional space are positive. Therefore hate and love would be independent of each other and it would be possible to hate and love someone equally. And therefore the question of opposite of love is in it self a flawed question. Indeed everyone behaves differently and is capable of differing emotions, therefore this question is entirely dependent on perspective, and therefore can not be generalized to every human being. Yet, this all depends on a greater understanding of psychology (which I do not have). --ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 06:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

How about this:

		You havee been recognized as the most rediculas Wikipedian of the month!
		{{{1}}}

or:

		You have been recognized as "Vandal of the month"

"All men are created equal, but ambition, or lack of it, soon separates them." How about putting that on a template? --Obaidz96 (talk) 00:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
