Apocalypse
I would like to see a box with something like this: This user have survived about x Predicted Apocalyptic Events! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:23, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Any particular color scheme you'd want?—   dain -  talk   22:53, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Didn´t think that far. Black and red? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:54, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

What do you think about

that? Eduemoni↑talk↓  15:33, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Fucking brilliant! Thank you! Is it possible for me to change x to an actual number? It vould be 60 in my case. I think the bottom one is my favorite, what painting is that? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:43, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Excellent, thanks! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 23:26, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Shakespeare
Hi UBX people. Would someone please create or point me toward ubxs that display one's favorite Shakespeare play? I can't seem to find anything of the sort. There are currently about six hundred "Hunger Games" ubxs... and like 4 Shakespeare ones. I mean... please. Geez. Thanx. Your friend, IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 02:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks like there's a few at Userboxes/Media/Theatre. I can make one in the same style as the pre-existing ones if you want. I'd add a parameter to it so anyone could type in their favorite play and it would display & link to it's article as well. —    dain -  talk   22:50, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Very awesome! Thanks! IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 02:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Did you want me to make the custom one? Just asking for clarity's sake. —   dain -  talk   04:00, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh! One specific to Romeo & Juliet would make me happy. Thank you effusively. IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem at all, how does this look? Do you want anything in it changed? i.e. verbage, picture or colors?—   dain -  talk   15:12, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks great! Thanks! IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 02:24, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I will ceate this userbox in my own user space; I just need to figure out how. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 07:59, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Is this a problem, according to Userboxes? This userbox is intended as a statement of fact and reflects the sensibilities of the user. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 08:21, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm I seemed to have figured it out.
 * Hmm now to make one for Bhuddist.
 * Hah, I did that too :)

Microcontrollers
I noticed a distinct lack of microcontroller-oriented user boxes, so here's what I came up with:

Thoughts? Feedback? Julesmazur (talk) 06:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that you should change the icon, to one that has no background other than the infinite symbol with the modifier value inside each circle. <b style="background:#FEE;padding:5px;font-size:10px"><b style="color:#913">Ed</b><b style="color:#C13">ue</b><b style="color:#D35">mo</b><b style="color:#E57">ni</b><sup style='color:green'>↑talk↓ </b> 15:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Sortition

Marseille Origin
Hello, I am from Marseille (second French city) and there is no English userbox for this city. Please could anyone create one? something like: I come from Marseille with that picture maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blason-Marseille.jpg

Thanks ;) Likemonkeys (talk) 19:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)


 * How's this? :) k2trf (talk) 01:43, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Cuban Origin
Hello, I am from Havana (Cuba´s capital) and there is no English userbox for this city. Please could anyone create one? something like: I come from Havana Thanx Ali Hewson (talk) 16:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I did two, since that image you've linked is technically only public domain because the copyright holder has decesed. If you'd like it changed at all however, please just ask me! k2trf (talk) 01:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Bono
Ufff, I think there should have some userbox for fans of Bono from U2!!! Ali Hewson (talk) 16:53, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * This might be possible - if you could find a picture you like that is available for free use in userboxes or in the Public Domain, then I can easily shape a userbox with it however you like. :) k2trf (talk) 01:45, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Silly Request...
Ok So I was thinking, why not have a big userbox which is huge and it links to the user's page of user boxes. It could say, this user has a page full of userboxes or something like that... If its silly, please don't bother... But if ain't I'm a genius right?? The Wikimon (talk) 08:30, 24 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Some people actually do that - most of the time they make a little NavBar for their Userpage, and one of the links is to a page for userboxes. Then the other pages would be awards they've gotten, pages they like to watch, etc. This looks really cool in my opinion, but not everyone needs to do that. Making a userbox for it is a neat idea instead, I might try later on... can think of how it would work. Did you have a picture/text in mind for it? If you do have a picture you'd like used, please make sure it is usable in Userboxes (Public Domain, free use, etc.). k2trf (talk) 16:58, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

IEEE
How about a userbox for members of IEEE? It could be useful as it would let other users know that a user has a measure of expertise in related fields and could assist on related articles. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. - QM 400032 (ta lk) 11:31, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Saw your idea, agreed it was a good one; cannot use the actual IEEE logo however, as it's copyrighted. Came up with this however k2trf (talk) 15:04, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

New userboxes
I have three ideas for new userboxes:





Is this a Userbox?
Is there any userbox that says something like, 'I am a world-class ninja'? If so, I would like to know. buffbills (talk) 18:59, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

You mean like this... Mat  ty. 007 18:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Noticed invalid link, found it on U:Matty.007's subpage, in case anyone wants this!

Some userboxes I've created.
Hello fellow WP:U members! I've been creating a wide variety of userboxes (you can check them out here) and am thinking that some of them would make good replacements for some of the default Template:UBX ... or Template:User ... userboxes currently in existence. I have meta OS and Browser userboxes that I think would make great replacements for a number of userboxes for example. User:Technical 13/Userboxes/Browser supports Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, and Google chrome and could probably replace most of the "single user" userboxes for all of those. User:Technical 13/Userboxes/OS supports many versions of Windows and Linux as well as DOS and finally MacOS (poorly as I need to find some free images). I also have a couple dynamic userboxes like my "Help me responder" series of three boxes (which I'm thinking of combining into one) and my User:Technical 13/Userboxes/WikiProjects template which needs some expansion and I have an additional feature I intend to add. Take a look over what I have so far and let me know what you think! I look forward to it! Technical 13 (talk) 23:36, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I absolutely love your Linux Distro ones! Much nicer color scheme than the current defacto ones; I can actually read yours! Very nicely done userboxes! :) k2trf (talk) 15:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Travel
Could someone create some Userboxes like, but for Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Liechtenstein?<BR><BR> Also one like for the 16 German Bundesländer? (Thejeweledweevil (talk) 17:53, 26 May 2013 (UTC))

Austria, Denmark, Germany and Liechtenstein done. Mat ty. 007 18:03, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Cosy Mystery user box
Could someone create a User Box for Lovers of Cosy Mysteries? ThanksLorrie (talk) 19:03, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I probably could if I had some context of what Cosy Mysteries is/are. Technical 13 (talk) 16:16, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I blieve Lorrie was referring to 'Cozy Mysteries', which is apparently a book series (1|2); this doesn't help greatly however, as there's still Cozy Mysteries no page on this topic. However, I have created a sort of generic one, that may be suitable for this.

Editing philosophy
Would anyone be interested in creating a Userbox that states:
 * This user understands that Wikipedia is not an online videogame.-- <font face="Papyrus">Ubikwit 連絡<font color="#801818" face="Papyrus">見学/迷惑 02:25, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

nice userbox-i used it myself Exoplanetaryscience (talk) 02:09, 28 July 2013 (UTC) In case anyone comes looking for this, Matty has done some organizing in his Userpages; the userbox can now be found here. k2trf (talk) 16:00, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Profession: "Project Manager"
This image might be used as an alternate in Professions: "project manager" for several contexts such as construction or procurement -- in addition to the existing stapler image to represent the field. I would appreciate guidance in getting it accepted on the project list. Thanks in advance. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 17:00, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

science
how about adding the following additions to wikipedia:userboxes/science

hey who added that \|/

US Naval Sea Cadets
Userboxes for the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps would be nice. Being that all US military including youth programs such as JROTC (Army) and Civil Air Patrol (Air Force) have already been made, I believe it's time the NSCC have theirs.

Some examples of boxes would be 'this user is a member of the NSCC', 'this user is an officer in the NSCC', the various ranks of cadets, instructors, midshipmen, and officers could be included. Topbookclub <font color="Red"> ✉

Roller skating / inline skating
I have trouble finding a user box for roller skating/inline skating. I guess there isn't one, so I would appreciate if anyone could help me out and created one, looking for example like this: I'm not sure how to add a picture, but I'm looking for a nice one. For example, a photo like this would be great, or a nice emoticon, like this one. However, I'm not sure whether these images are suitable in terms of their copyrights. A symbol for the sport, like this one for fencing:, would also be great but I don't know where to look for it. — <font color="#0dacd0">Ma <font color="#1a7fa7">y <font color="#0dacd0">ast  (<font color="#bae30b">talk ) 19:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I attempted this box:

Supporters for South African teams
How about boxes for supporters for teams such as Sharks, Lions and Cheetahs (in rugby), Dolphins, Lions and Titans (in cricket) and Kaizer Chiefs (in soccer)? Freddie2012a (talk) 11:51, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
