So how are those of us who already had babel boxes on our pages, but as templates, supposed to use this? Are languages eventually going into this? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 00:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I think the templates could either be converted to generic source code like the others or tweaked to fit if they don't already. — It's dot com 00:38, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Meant to type "tables", not "templates". — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 22:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Generic source code is good. Userboxes should be versatile, so if a user wants to change a bit of text, they can do so without creating a new template. Besides, saves a whole bunch of template creations. And that's my six cents. - Super Sam 05:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I just have a WP:Babel box and a HRWiki:Babel box. works great! — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 10:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Fun userboxes

I have a major concern with the fun userboxes. This is going to turn into the next user page crisis on this wiki. The Important notice at the top of the page says this: Please keep these boxes positive and related to your Homestar Runner experience (favorite toon, what you like to do on the wiki, etc.). Most of the fun boxes have nothing to do with one's H*R experience. If we let the fun userboxes continue, then decide they are getting out of hand, the opinions about what to do about them will be heavily divisive. This needs to be nipped in the bud, before it becomes a duplicate of Wikipedia's userbox crisis.

So what do we allow? We could say that if you want to make your own custom fun user boxes, fine, as long they don't go on the HRWiki:Userbox page. I would rather we discourage the use of fun userboxes completely, lest some users become distracted from the purpose of this wiki. Of course, this cannot be enforced. I would, nevertheless, be pleased to see the fun userboxes go. —BazookaJoe 23:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
