User talk:Misza13/Userbox Gallery Poll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
what do you think about a part that says what this policy will not allow? like inclusion of userbox subpages of other users' and political/religious userboxes stuff like that. Will userboxes that are not political or religious, like this User:Jedi6/WikiWars, be allowed? ILovEPlankton 20:56, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Point 3.3 of the policy states that transclusion of userboxes from one's own subpages is perfectly allowed. So User:Jedi6/WikiWars is allowed to exist. However, it is being transcluded on other people's pages, which would not be allowed. But then again, that's what the Gallery is meant for, where the userbox's HTML (or an equivalent {{userbox|...}} call) would be stored. Furthermore, if someone finds such userbox inappropriate for a general-purpose gallery, this policy doesn't prevent users from creating their own galleries (as user subpages), as long as they follow the same content policy (i.e. no templates). Probably such userfied galleries would be more free in terms of allowing borderline inflammatory/divisive/stupid/disgusting content, but that's up for a separate debate.

- but could Jedi6 create that in the template space? ILovEPlankton 21:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- No, because this userbox is non-encyclopedic and doesn't further the Project's cause. Misza13 T C 21:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, I think it's good. Instead of having things like This user hates topic X or This user loves topic X you can just make a userbox that says This user is interested in topic X.--The ikiroid (talk)(Help Me Improve) 22:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
