For some reason, there are userboxes of most of the 50 states and other US territories, except--Missouri! Though I see (many, many) reasons why there isn't a userbox for the state, we should at least try to have one for the sake of saying that there is one for every state.

I propose this one:

{{user Missouri}}

This one is created as an alternative to {{User Irish}}, as a friend mentioned he didn't like the green:

{{User:nathanrdotcom/Userboxes/Irish}}

I created another one but it would be best kept in my userspace (because it can be seen as divisive).

Anyway, please let me know what you think. - Image:Ottawa flag.png nathanrdotcom ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 03:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I also made:

I feel this should be listed right next to the Pilot userboxes. :D Any comments, improvements appreciated. Superdix 14:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

You can go to a new line after a userbox by typing {{clear}}. I can template-ify it whenever, just let me know. — nathanrdotcom ^{(T • C • W)} 02:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :) Do you need some sort of special rights to make or edit templates here on WP? Also, do you know how I can modify the hover style in the box? I'd like it to underline the text in white. :) Superdix 12:10, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

To answer your questions in order:

1. No, anyone can edit templates. You can now find this userbox at {{User:nathanrdotcom/Userboxes/User Skydiving}}.
2. What you would need to use is a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } but there's no way to do this except to declate it a custom css stylesheet or inside the <head></head> tags of a webpage (in other words, not easily possible). — nathanrdotcom ^{(T • C • W)} 02:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I tend to use a lot of different operating systems for different tasks, and when I look in the computer userboxes lists I see no userboxes for people who contribute with many different operating systems. I did use the template on the userboxes info page to put this together real qucik.

Perhaps someone else could improve it somewhat if there is any interest. "OSXPNIX" refers to "OS X", Windows "XP" and "*NIX" all at the same time. --Zanthra 09:02, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Asperger's Syndrome wikipedian's have a infobox. I think classic autistics should have one too. I hope alot of people can decide on a great infobox since i don't about the color bar too well, so here an example. I hope you wikipedians can think of a better infobox then this one. Have fun. --Stco23 09:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree there should be a userbox for autism as well. And because there is already a category for Wikipedians on the autism spectrum, I think there should be a userbox for that as well. Some people, like me, are on the autism spectrum but do not meet the criteria for either classic autism or Asperger's syndrome. Andrea Parton 05:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I noted that someone already has a box touting 'their opinion about the movie Blade Runner. So, how about one for 2001: A Space odyssey? This film was recently voted best Science Fiction film ever made by the Online Film Critics Assoc. And I'm sure it's VERY popular -- my favourite movie of all time it is. How about this:

This would be good for the book section.

Except you misspelled Artemis Fowl. ;) But yes. Would love to have that one, as I love those books! Although you may want to change it to "the Artemis Fowl books", to be specific.

Well, as long as I'm here, might as well show mine. They're not as complicated as these others, but they should work nicely.

Well, there you go. Not a whole lot, and not really that good. But, if anyone can make them look really good (e.g. Turn the "B" in the Nickelback one backwards), please do.

Just some ideas here... I can make ones for all 47 prefectures if desired.

The choices of colors comes directly from the colors of the prefectural flower, except in the case of Hiroshima, which does not have an official flower, in which case I used colors of the prefectural bird. I opted to use the names in the left box rather than the prefectural symbols because of the copyright notice on the symbols and the fact that they were taken off the Japanese wikipedia for that reason.

I found a problem with your WWE template and fixed it. The WWE logo is copyrighted and can not be used on templates like this. I replaced it with the text WWE. — The King of Kings 01:09 June 25 '06

Understood, and thanks. But how do I change the text color in userboxes? I'm thinking a white "WWE" in a black background would look much nicer.--Bedford 02:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I am surprised nobody has created this one yet. If they have, I couldn't find it. Is it still "uncool" to create new userboxes as new templates?

{{subst:Userbox
  |border-c = #F19
  |border-s = 1
  |id-c     = #000
  |id-fc    = #000
  |info-c   = #FCC
  |info-fc  = #000
  |id       = [[Image:Die Huffnang cropped.JPG|33px]]
  |info     = This user is [[pregnancy|pregnant]].
 }}

As a newly-arrived American expat in Thailand, I just had to create a userbox for me:

I created this userbox for fans of the Buzz Out Loud Podcast.
