Shakespeare

Hi UBX people. Would someone please create or point me toward ubxs that display one's favorite Shakespeare play? I can't seem to find anything of the sort. There are currently about six hundred "Hunger Games" ubxs... and like 4 Shakespeare ones. I mean... please. Geez. Thanx. Your friend, IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 02:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Looks like there's a few at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Media/Theatre. I can make one in the same style as the pre-existing ones if you want. I'd add a parameter to it so anyone could type in their favorite play and it would display & link to it's article as well.

— dain- talk 22:50, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Very awesome! Thanks! IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 02:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Did you want me to make the custom one? Just asking for clarity's sake. — dain- talk 04:00, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh! One specific to Romeo & Juliet would make me happy. Thank you effusively. IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

No problem at all

, how does this look? Do you want anything in it changed? i.e. verbage, picture or colors?— dain- talk 15:12, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Looks great! Thanks! IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 02:24, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

I will ceate this userbox in my own user space; I just need to figure out how. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 07:59, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Is this a problem, according to Wikipedia:Userboxes#Content restrictions? This userbox is intended as a statement of fact and reflects the sensibilities of the user. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 08:21, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Hmm I seemed to have figured it out.

Hmm now to make one for Bhuddist.

Hah, I did that too :)

Microcontrollers

I noticed a distinct lack of microcontroller-oriented user boxes, so here's what I came up with:

{{User Arduino}} gives:

This user is an Arduino enthusiast.

Thoughts? Feedback? Julesmazur (talk) 06:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I think that you should change the icon, to one that has no background other than the infinite symbol with the modifier value inside each circle. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 15:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

That's actually the Arduino logo. It's printed on all the boards. Julesmazur (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

I love it! - (ZLEA 19:55, 18 January 2017 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZLEA (talk • contribs)

I did two, since that image you've linked is technically only public domain because the copyright holder has decesed. If you'd like it changed at all however, please just ask me! k2trf (talk) 01:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Bono

Ufff, I think there should have some userbox for fans of Bono from U2!!! Ali Hewson (talk) 16:53, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

This might be possible - if you could find a picture you like that is available for free use in userboxes or in the Public Domain, then I can easily shape a userbox with it however you like. :) k2trf (talk) 01:45, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Silly Request...

Ok So I was thinking, why not have a big userbox which is huge and it links to the user's page of user boxes. It could say, this user has a page full of userboxes or something like that... If its silly, please don't bother... But if ain't I'm a genius right?? The Wikimon (talk) 08:30, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Some people actually do that - most of the time they make a little NavBar for their Userpage, and one of the links is to a page for userboxes. Then the other pages would be awards they've gotten, pages they like to watch, etc. This looks really cool in my opinion, but not everyone needs to do that. Making a userbox for it is a neat idea instead, I might try later on... can think of how it would work. Did you have a picture/text in mind for it? If you do have a picture you'd like used, please make sure it is usable in Userboxes (Public Domain, free use, etc.). k2trf (talk) 16:58, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

IEEE

How about a userbox for members of IEEE? It could be useful as it would let other users know that a user has a measure of expertise in related fields and could assist on related articles. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I agree with you. - QM400032 (talk) 11:31, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Saw your idea, agreed it was a good one; cannot use the actual IEEE logo however, as it's copyrighted. Came up with this however k2trf (talk) 15:04, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

This user is a proud member of the IEEE.

New userboxes

I have three ideas for new userboxes:

D&SNG

This user has taken a tour on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

File:Taos Ski Valley Entrance.jpg
NM

This user has skiied at Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico.

This user has walked/driven across and/or took a view of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.

Is this a Userbox?

Is there any userbox that says something like, 'I am a world-class ninja'? If so, I would like to know. buffbills (talk) 18:59, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

User:Matty.007/World Class Ninja You mean like this... Mat ty.007 18:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Usage

Some userboxes I've created.

Hello fellow WP:U members! I've been creating a wide variety of userboxes (you can check them out here) and am thinking that some of them would make good replacements for some of the default Template:UBX ... or Template:User ... userboxes currently in existence. I have meta OS and Browser userboxes that I think would make great replacements for a number of userboxes for example. User:Technical 13/Userboxes/Browser supports Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, and Google chrome and could probably replace most of the "single user" userboxes for all of those. User:Technical 13/Userboxes/OS supports many versions of Windows and Linux as well as DOS and finally MacOS (poorly as I need to find some free images). I also have a couple dynamic userboxes like my "Help me responder" series of three boxes (which I'm thinking of combining into one) and my User:Technical 13/Userboxes/WikiProjects template which needs some expansion and I have an additional feature I intend to add. Take a look over what I have so far and let me know what you think! I look forward to it! Technical 13 (talk) 23:36, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I absolutely love your Linux Distro ones! Much nicer color scheme than the current defacto ones; I can actually read yours! Very nicely done userboxes! :) k2trf (talk) 15:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Travel

Could someone create some Userboxes like

, but for Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Liechtenstein?

Also one like

for the 16 German Bundesländer? (Thejeweledweevil (talk) 17:53, 26 May 2013 (UTC))

Cosy Mystery user box

Could someone create a User Box for Lovers of Cosy Mysteries? ThanksLorrie (talk) 19:03, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I probably could if I had some context of what Cosy Mysteries is/are. Technical 13 (talk) 16:16, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I blieve Lorrie was referring to 'Cozy Mysteries', which is apparently a book series (1|2); this doesn't help greatly however, as there's still Cozy Mysteries no page on this topic. However, I have created a sort of generic one, that may be suitable for this.

Code

Result

This user enjoys the Cozy Mysteries series.

Editing philosophy

Would anyone be interested in creating a Userbox that states:

US Naval Sea Cadets

Userboxes for the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps would be nice. Being that all US military including youth programs such as JROTC (Army) and Civil Air Patrol (Air Force) have already been made, I believe it's time the NSCC have theirs.

Some examples of boxes would be 'this user is a member of the NSCC', 'this user is an officer in the NSCC', the various ranks of cadets, instructors, midshipmen, and officers could be included. Topbookclub ✉

Roller skating / inline skating

I have trouble finding a user box for roller skating/inline skating. I guess there isn't one, so I would appreciate if anyone could help me out and created one, looking for example like this:

IMG

This user loves roller skating.

I'm not sure how to add a picture, but I'm looking for a nice one. For example, a photo like this would be great, or a nice emoticon, like this one. However, I'm not sure whether these images are suitable in terms of their copyrights. A symbol for the sport, like this one for fencing: , would also be great but I don't know where to look for it. — Mayast (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
