Here is my attempt at a userbox (done with the Super Simple Userbox Maker, as I am not big on CSS code). It says that this user tattles on vandals and links to WP:AIV.

For anyone who is interested in Canadian history, I have created two new boxes; one general the other about Canadians in war. Enjoy.

I was going through WikiFauna and noticed that there wasn't an icon for WikiGoons, so I created one. Enjoy.

Thanks goes to User:Bloodknight for helping me with this. --Abce2 | How dy! 04:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

This one is for the many supporters of President Bush. Enjoy.

This one was inspired by the movie The Truth About Jane.

There were no userboxes for hot air ballooning enthusiasts that I could find, so I made some. (Well, really it's one with several options.) I don't know if I like the reddish text color or not—it makes me think of a redlink. I used a color picker to pull the colors from the balloon image on the left, and the red gives good contrast, but I'm open to changing it or leaving it based on feedback (lack of feedback will be interpreted as "don't care"). Enjoy! See my other userboxes at User:Willscrlt/UBX. &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” ) 09:23, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I've created a "Good Article" userbox for articles created in non-English Wikipedias. You just need to append the language code after the article title. See for example:

But I can't even figure out how to make a userbox! I'm so dumb. Can someone help, please? Simon says be good (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

You're not so dumb! It just takes a bit of work... start off by reading Userboxes. Then look at a userbox, see how it's coded... and then copy the code and adapt it. Once you start, you'll see it's not so bad!  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 16:33, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I noticed there was not a Ovarian Cancer Support userbox so i have made one. Tell me what you think about it I hope to have ready for others to use soon.

Can I Get Some feedback on this I would like to know that others think about it--Dcheagle (talk) 11:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Feedback: Apart from an understandable wish that this wretched disease did not exist what - precisely - is "the fight against ovarian cancer?" Is there an organisation dedicated to such a named "fight" - one with a set of aims and objectives? Is there an extant national (and if so, which nation) or international initiative one can support that is tackling the rate and/or mortality of ovarian cancer via agreed standards and methods? Emotional statements like this userbox are laudably well-meaning but, sorry to say, are in and of themselves just meaningless - unless they link to some specific information and/or campaign that interested users can click and so understand what is meant by this "fight" and what is intended that their stated support should consist of. Is it not more constructive to find and identify (or, should there truly be nothing, to link to a demand for) these rather than this Wikipedia equivalent of wearing a coloured ribbon?

Re: Secret Saturdays: Uberboxen


 * Reincarnation: If your reincarnation beliefs are Buddhist, fine. If not, then using the image of Buddha is misleading.


 * Garfield: I dunno but one looks at or enjoys the funny pages, one doesn't really read them. Unless one is still at the moving lips and following a fingertip stage.


 * Diversity for all religions: grammar again. This reads as all religions must be diverse - not the intention, presumably.


 * Cold War Studies: "studies about" is poor grammar. The UB is also vague to the point of meaninglessness: is this academic study and, if so, at what level? "The Cold War" is a large subject - what, specifically, are you studying?


 * Advertisement here: How to get your arse kicked by admin.


 * Self destruct: No-one is as angry as you. You are so angry you are almost combustible. Danger Will Robinson. Snark aside, painfully juvenile, not constructive and asking for vandalism.


 * animation creator: Hmmm. The image represents one of the most famous early images of animation. Doesn't really say much about your creativity..?

Generally, though, the statements tend to be the problem, not the designs. These are quite good and several (self-destruct, Iran and Console) are quite excellent. I'd certainly be trying to get your help if I wanted to make some of my (pathetic, few) own jobs better :) Plutonium27 (talk) 20:17, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Plutonium27, thanks for referring me back to this page. Just FYI, I was only responsible for the "User Hornbook" userbox; the others userboxes were added below my post by someone else, for some inscrutable reason, in the intervening months. Still, I'm impressed that you took the trouble to answer such an old question! Thanks! Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 21:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
