User talk:Feureau/UserBox/alsoUseH2G2

User:UBX/h2g2 is, I think, more widely used.

Also, this is in the wrong category. It says,


 * This user also uses The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy along with wikipedia.

So it's not referring to the book. How does one use a humorous novel? It is talking about the website and Internet community, h2g2. So what is this doing in Category: Book fan user templates?

That being said, there probably should be a userbox for fans of Hitchhiker's. I'd use it.

But I have no notion how to edit or create the things.

 * Although The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a five-part trilogy in real life, it also exists as a guidebook inside the novels. Several times, various characters in the novels read the book, which is described as being a compendium of all useful knowledge (everything you'd ever want to know about humans can be summarized thusly, "Mostly harmless").  That's how one "uses" a humorour novel, it's akin to "using" the Necronomicon.  True, since both the real life books and the guidebook described in the novels have the same name, it's relatively easy to confuse them.  That being said, per the  userbox migration, User:UBX/h2g2 no longer exists. Banaticus 03:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Why is it H2G2? It should be HG2G, no? Zuracech lordum 11:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
