Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes

There is no WikiProject Userboxes in my homewiki, so I come here to ask your opinion. How do you think, would adding TemplateData to userboxes make them easier to discover and use? If so, where is the best place to put it: on the template page, on the documentation subpage or a separate subpage? Thanks in advance for your comments.

It seems that each region that can be passed to {{User in region}} template has a subpage of Wikipedia:Userboxes that lists the most common variations of that userbox. For example, Wikipedia:Userboxes/Location/US-HI. It seems to me that option 56, which shows "This user is from _", is one of the most useful variations and should be clearly advertized on those subpages. But since I assume there are like a thousand of them I hardly want to edit them all. So... is there a way to show that option on all of those subpages or is editing them one at a time the only way?

Can someone take a look at Template:User published author? For some reason, its height is greater than the default userbox height and I'm unsure how to change it.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 20:22, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing wrong with the height of this userbox it has always been that size. Catfurball (talk) 20:45, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I just wanted to see if it could be changed to match the majority of other userboxes.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 22:39, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added the user template categories at the ends of the pages for my Favorite Touhou Game and Fumo userboxes, but they aren't appearing on the page that lists all the Touhou userboxes. I'm wondering how they do appear and if anyone can help me with my others? User:ILike Leavanny/Userboxes - This is where they are stored. Categories in which the rest should be put into: (I used Wikipedia:Userboxes/Galleries as a reference for where to categorize them)

• Pokémon plush - Pokémon (in video game category)
• Shrimp - crustacean (crustacean sub-sub-category in arthropod sub-category in animal category)
• Oreo - desserts?
• Likes Leavanny - also Pokémon
• Pokémon GO - also also Pokémon
• Hug a cactus - cactus (cactus and succulents sub-category in the plants category)
• Secretly a Ditto - also also also Pokémon
• Hello! - idk
• Len'en - place it in Touhou maybe? It's inspired by Touhou Project.

(of course the favorite touhou game and fumo userboxes should go into the touhou category)

Last year I created Wikipedia:Userboxes/Sports/National Football League, but it is having issues with four userboxes. I have tried working on them, but have failed to fix the issue. They are User:Jharris6/Userboxes/Buffalo, User:Ved havet/ub/NFL/Vikings, User:GDuwen/USBX-G-Men and User:AtreemFromVenus/Eagles. Can someone please help fix the issue.

What trouble are you having? History6042😊 (Contact me) 23:24, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@History6042: The gallery does not belong in Category:Wikipedians interested in the Buffalo Bills; Category:Wikipedians interested in the Minnesota Vikings; Category:Wikipedians interested in the New York Giants and Category:Wikipedians interested in the Philadelphia Eagles. Catfurball (talk) 16:41, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed and cleaned up the affected userboxes in these 19 edits. The gallery page is no longer miscategorized. —⁠andrybak (talk) 12:54, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 You are invited to join the discussion at User talk:Cattell91 § The link on the PlayStation Network userboxes, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. Discussion has opened up regarding the only link produced by the {{User:Neoarchon/PSN Tag}} userbox, which is supposed to link to a user’s PlayStation Network profile page. An alternative suggested is to link to unofficial sites that offer the same web service. —UndueMarmot (talk) 16:55, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering if there's an autism, ADHD, Anxiety Userbox that says "This user has (autism, anxiety, ADHD)" with a rainbow infinity symbol as the image. Is there? AstronomyKid1 (talk) 18:31, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know I sent this twice, and I apologize AstronomyKid1 (talk) 18:32, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AstronomyKid1, please see Category:Disease, disorder, syndrome and virus user templates and galleries: Wikipedia:Userboxes/Health and Wikipedia:Userboxes/Health/Mental. —⁠andrybak (talk) 12:28, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone show me how to make my own Userbox and add my own image? I want some custom made ones for myself, but I'm not sure how to make them or know if they already exist in the gallery or if somebody already made that userbox. Thanks!
