Universal places related userboxes

There are many kinds of userboxes related to places: travel, "lives in", " was born " and so on. Idea: make a universal userbox (or userboxes, depending on how universal it would be) with parameters (one being code of the country) that uses Wikidata to get country's name and flag, thus eliminating the need to make userboxes one by one. — andrybak (talk) 23:56, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

@Andrybak I have tried to make something that fits your request, have a look at my pages User:Tedjam/Templates/Places_ubx/doc and User:Tedjam/Templates/Places_ubx-2/doc. The second is a little temperamental at the moment, as it doesn't look at commons for the images only at wikipedia. I'm not sure how to fix it, but there should be a way. Also, if there are any changes that you think should be made to it, just say! tedjam (talk) 17:16, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Ottawa RedBlacks

A black background with white text for where you would put the team's acronym "OTT". A red background with white text for where you would put "This user is an Ottawa RedBlacks fan." This userbox could be filed under a new category known as "Wikipedian Ottawa RedBlacks fans". If somebody could create this, it would be most appreciated. Gregdox (talk) 09:49, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

OTT

This user is an Ottawa RedBlacks fan.

Will this do? Yutah Andrei Marzan Ogawa¹²³|UPage|_☺★ (talk) 08:09, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

William Shakespeare

"This user believes William Shakespeare is the greatest writer of all time."

Dark color filling, like brown - then a slightly darker border. Perhaps the Chandos portrait as the left-picture?

User:Tedjam/Userboxes/Shakespeare-1 Is this what you were looking for? The blue link text is quite hard to read on the brown background, I could have a go at making a new one/ changing it up with a different background colour. Maybe slightly lighter? tedjam (talk) 14:32, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

This is great. Thanks! AndrewOne (talk) 21:34, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

"This user thinks saying thanks for individual contributions improves the friendliness of the Wikipedia community"

As the subject states, I hold the belief that getting thanks for a contribution is valuable and helps by making contributors feel appreciated (seeing your alerts counter red with a thanks gives that warm fuzzy feeling of appreciation). I believe a userbox would be a good start to spread that belief, causing more people to send thanks for good contributions. I did a very quick search for this but found nothing. Found this page in my search and figured some people here might have some valuable input on this matter? If there is interest, I could probably figure out how to make the userbox myself. Thanks, Erik.Bjareholt (talk) 19:22, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

@Erik.Bjareholt: There is this one. Not exactly what you said, but good. Eman235/talk 23:56, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

@Eman235: Cool, thanks! Used it as a template. Erik.Bjareholt (talk) 06:07, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

This user believes that thanking for individual contributions improves the Wikipedia community.

Nice! Eman235/talk 10:25, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

This user is interested in Exoplanetology.

Can anyone create this userbox? With a direct image of an extrasolar planet on it?

How about this one? The image is one from NASA, but I/ you you can change it if you would like

This user is interested in Exoplanetology.

tedjam (talk) 19:10, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Users can also pick the image.

I had a go, What do you think?

Orson Welles

Could someone make a userbox for Wikipedians who believe Orson Welles is the best director of all time? Kind of like the Kubrick one, but instead of the word "Kubrick" as the left-picture, it could have a picture of Orson, maybe? AndrewOne (talk) 23:37, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Here you are

Orson Welles is the greatest

Dark colors, accompanied by a picture/portrait of Polk. AndrewOne (talk) 23:01, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

will this do?

Images uploaded with link

Can someone please create a user box that lists the number of images you have uploaded to wikipedia AND a link to Special:ListFiles/username allowing people to automatically link to see all the images you have uploaded? There is currently such a user box with a link for uploads to commons (as seen below) but I can't find one for uploads to Wikipedia. The box below regarding uploads to wikipedia is what I am after, just with the embedded link to Special:ListFiles. Thanks. Freikorp (talk) 00:46, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

This user has uploaded 42 images to Wikipedia.

This user has uploaded 42 images (at last check) to Wikimedia Commons.

Just following this up as I'm still interested in such a userbox. Ping me back here or contact me on my talk page if you make one; I'll love you forever :). Freikorp (talk) 14:15, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Freikorp Are you looking for basically the same format as the above, but for Wikipedia instead of Commons? Since it was easy enough to do, I went ahead and copied it here: User:Rhododendrites/ubx/wikipedia uploads.

This user has uploaded 42 images (at last check) to Wikipedia.

— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes! That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much. I'm going to add it here so other people can find it, if you don't mind. :) Freikorp (talk)

Freikorp Great! It was actually this that popped up on my watchlist (not this page). I don't have anything pending at GAN at the moment (and doing a review is disproportional to the little work this took), so I'll just say "thanks for being someone willing to review GANs in general." :) — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I was just about to leave a comment on your talk page asking if you wanted any kind of review done. Well I can still give you a barnstar haha. Yeah I don't doubt its simple to do if you know how but I wouldn't know where to start and probably wouldn't ever create another userbox even if I did know how to make them anyway so I appreciate you doing it. Freikorp (talk) 23:39, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Outside of

I would love a Userbox to say something like:

This User deplores the use of "outside of" when "outside" is a simple preposition [and deletes the "of" whenever encountered].

On Russia

"This user admires Russia for its artistic contributions throughout history."

This would preferably have a red background of any shade, and some picture relating to the country (perhaps one of those world maps on which its location is marked). Thanks, AndrewOne (talk) 01:43, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Great idea. Please inform me once a userbox of this type has been made!Davidbena (talk) 01:48, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Censorship

I have a request, as I'm not good at creating userboxes. We currently have userboxes on political censorship, but not a single userbox for all of the other kinds (Self-Censorship, Religious Censorship, "Hate Speech" Censorship etc.) I'm not asking for a million different userboxes, but I would like to request one very simple userbox.

"This user is opposed to most forms of censorship."

You could even use the same picture that the political one has.

Carpooling and Ridesharing

It would be nice to have Userboxes for carpoolers and users of Transportation Network Companies. I found a good number of rail and bus userboxes at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Transportation and one for taxi drivers at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Profession#Road_Transport, but I couldn't find anything related to sharing personal vehicles.

Manga Genre Preferences

It would be great for people interested in specific genres of manga to be able to list the general genre in a userbox instead of trying to name a bunch of different series. For instance, it would be nice to have a few "This user loves josei manga / shōjo manga / seinen manga / shonen manga" type userboxes. Thank you to anyone who makes them, if anyone makes them!

Favourite century (in History)

Hi, I'm fascinated by the 17th century, but there aren't any userboxes which really do match this topic. I can imagine that there are also several people who are interested in the 18th, 19th or 20th century. So here's my proposition: Userboxes which start with: "This user is interested in/ fascinated by..." and then end with a century. The Count of Zielin (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Monster List

I'm a long time Wikipedia user but a newbie to the deep formal WP culture. Please forgive me if I'm doing this wrong.

I was not having much success with my searches for userboxes. I started with a short wish list but as usual it got out of control. I thought it would be rude to drop this bomb on this list, so for now it rests on User:JasonCarswell/Userboxes until I learn the proper protocols.

Thanks for your attention and I look forward to your feedback. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 23:57, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

"This user is an EXO-L"

Hi, I was hoping to find a UBX about the popular K-Pop band, EXO, but there isn't any. If I knew how to make one I probably would, but I just don't know my way around these things. So I kindly ask if someone could make an EXO UBX, maybe with a normal description of "This user is a proud EXO-L" or one with a joke directly referencing to EXO, such as: "This user likes to chogiwa all day", "This user cannot express their potato", "Shawty imma party till the sundown with this user",and "This user likes to yehet,kkaebsong & ohorat." I'd also like if the UBX had a clear image of all 12 of the boys together (if there are any free use ones) or a non-copyrighted clear image of EXO's hexagonal logo. Many thanks in advance.--Ch0giwa nation (talk) 20:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
