Template:User OS
All users on wikipedia use an operating system obviously therefore non needed userbox. Once deleted I would like to request that the people who have this userbox on their userpage be asked to replace the userbox with one stating there os unless they have one but only for this one exclusively. 3^0$0%0 1@!k (0#1®!%$ 23:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep We shouldn't make judgements about what userboxes people choose to use on their own userpages unless they are deliberately and overtly offensive. It is rather obvious this one is intended to be a sarcastic retort to all the linux/mac/win/os/2/bsd/etc boxes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UltraMagnus (talk • contribs) 26 September 2009 03:15 UTC
 * Comment. Since this item is in the template space, shouldn't it be discussed at WP:TFD instead? --RL0919 (talk) 15:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, no: Userboxes: Should be listed at Mfd, regardless of what namespace they reside in. Evosoho brought it to the right place. talking  birds  15:45, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Good to know. In that case, keep. Lots of userboxes strike me as a bit silly, but there's nothing particularly bad about this userbox that warrants deletion. --RL0919 (talk) 02:31, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep I don't see the point in deleting this, to be honest. If we deleted all of the stupid, not-needed userboxes on Wikipedia, we wouldn't have any left. Per UltraMagnus. talking  birds  15:45, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I see this as an alternative to the XP, Linux, and MAC OS boxes. ArcAngel (talk) 21:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It's not offensive, just a little joke. It's not causing harm. Aren't people allowed to laugh? Abce2 |  This is  not a test  20:20, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Talkingbirds' excellent thoughts. → ROUX   ₪  23:28, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Knowing full well, of course, that it'll be kept. A man can dream... → ROUX   ₪  23:29, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to Userspace. Harmless but not directly project related userbozes such as this one should be in userspace not template space.  Eluchil404 (talk) 06:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to Userspace - as this is a humorous userbox, then I feel that it should be in the user's own space. The guidelines at Userboxes do not specifically say what kind of user boxes are best suited for the Template: namespace, but I feel that this would be better suited in Userspace. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 11:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to Userspace - per above. --real _ decimic 07:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Should the deletion notice be put in noinclude tags? --real _ decimic 07:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
