User talk:Daniel10/Userboxes/GuineaPig

Requested move

Template:User GuineaPig → User:Daniel10/GuineaPig — User moved the template back to mainspace despite discussion over it violating WP:UM. There is also a double redirect between those two - User GuineaPig. After the move, both of the userspace redirecting ones should be removed per WP:CSD.

Clear support. Not sure what the user was trying to accomplish here. Dekimasu 15:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning towards oppose, as this should be done at WP:TFD, not as a requested move. -Patstuart^talk|edits 05:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand your concerns, but it is preferable to make a move first to reserve the history of the page and avoid a redirect to a non-existing template. I'm first requesting a move than I'll place a speedy deletion tag on this. Michaelas10 (Talk) 22:16, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear to me what's going on. This page was moved from the main namespace into template namespace after this move was requested, it seems. Since all the other userboxes at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Animals live in Template namespace, I'm not sure why this one should be different. Is this move request still active? -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page was previously on the user namespace, but apparently the user moved it back so "other users could use it". This is a complicated move since the violation of WP:UBM might not be very obvious. Also note that all of the userboxes at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Animals were created by the same user.

- WP:UBM, not being policy, can't really be "violated", but I agree that these templates might as well be in userspace. Perhaps it just needs to be made clear that anyone can use any userbox they like, no matter where it's hosted. There's no sense moving userboxes so "other users could use it". They could use it already.
  At any rate, I've deleted the redirects at User:Daniel10/GuineaPig and User talk:Daniel10/GuineaPig, so if Daniel10 wishes to move those templates to his userspace, nothing's in the way now. -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
