Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Location

usbk coding
I changed most of the userboxes to the format. However, some of the templates seem to be squares and won't fit into the nice, neat circles of the usbk. If anyone cares enough to figure it out, please do. --Dziban303 02:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

sorting
Needs to have some sort of catagories, like: North American locations, European locations, ect. Also, there is no US template and no state templates for the US-- Akako  |  &#9742;  17:21, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I concure. I want a US template. I'd make one, but I don't know how to make templates. --Masssiveego 09:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah this whole page is a disaster. It needs to be split into regions etc.  I'll split it now.  I would make a US template... but I don't like America!!!  [[Image:Anglo-indian.jpg|20px]] Deano 11:13, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I have made a template (I think) which is kind of unusual. However, I don't know how to format the table to stick it in. Ifnord 04:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you link me to the template please, and I will add it in the most suitable place. Ian13ID:540053 10:48, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure. Please see Expatriate Canadians. Ifnord 15:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Added at the bottom of the Americas page :) Ian13ID:540053 16:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Super! Thanks. BTW, I noticed on that page a userbox for the Christmas Islands. Are they not near Australia in the south Pacific? Ifnord 17:23, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

code example
After not finding California in the sub-pages, and realizing that most of the users who want to add their location aren't going to know how to make a new template, I added some example code. There is a trade-off involved, in that templates with their own category allow the geographically near to find each other. Sadly, there's no way to make a generic template, e.g., because that can't automatically find a good image.

There needs to be a good location template creation tutorial linked from this page. -- James S. 17:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Earth userboxes not in accordance with policy
As much as I appreciate the humor, "user Earth" and "user Earthling" do not conform with Wikipedia policy, namely categorizing all Wikipedians until such a time when aliens are discovered. I believe they should be deleted. Xiner 03:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
