I renamed "33" to "Life Begins" to make it more generic (allowing for other ages). Before I did that, I checked to see which users were using it so that I could update their pages (requiring a previously-unrequired parameter meant that a redirect was insufficient). I found that ''nobody'' was using it, so I didn't have that extra task. The names of the userboxes shouldn't matter too much, but if you do think it worth changing, you might well find that there's not that many users using any given userbox anyway. [[User:Philip J.

I am under the impression that userboxes are similar to bumper stickers on cars. If that is true, could we rename them "Bumper Stickers"? --[[User:Mcpannier|Mcpannier]] 19:09, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Why is this in the Category "Cristian Conservapedians?" [[User:GodisTruth|'''<font color="#990099">Truth</font>''']]<sub>[[User_talk:GodisTruth |<font color="#009999">is power</font>]]</sub> 21:02, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
:Because any page that uses the {{tl|user Christian1}} userbox has that category added, and this page has that userbox as one of its examples. If you know enough about it, what is the best way to avoid this? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 22:43, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
:: One option would be to substitute the template and then comment out the category. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 22:45, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
::: True, and another would be to replace it with a different example that doesn't have a category. But I've come across this problem elsewhere, and I'd like a more general solution if one exists. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 23:55, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
:::: I'm not aware of a general non-kludgy solution, but you could ask some of the template wizards over at Wikipedia such as Azatoth. Also, my impression is that Ed Poor has good understanding of templates so you could ask him. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 00:29, 28 May 2007 (EDT)
== Use of userboxes from Wikipedia ==
I'm concerned that this may be a problem since they are GFDL and also be a problem given Andrew's directive not to use content from Wikipedia. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 21:51, 27 May 2007 (EDT)

How does one create a userbox with an image? I wanted to create a UFC userbox with the UFC logo I uploaded earlier, but it wouldn't let me. [[User:JY23|JY23]] 18:04, 21 December 2008 (EST)
here is the code for a simple one I made, if that helps.You might need to play around with the colours though.
<nowiki>
{{Userbox
|border-c = #880088
|border-s = 1
|id-c = #ffccff
|id-s = 14
|id-fc = black
|info-c = #FFEEFF
|info-s = 8
|info-fc = #000000
|id = [[Image:Flag of Japan.png|45px]]
|info = This user is [[Japan|Japanese]] <br>''(Nihonjin 日本人です)''
}}
</nowiki>
gives you
{{User Japan}}
Hope it helps a bit.[[User:JessicaT|KotomiT]]<sup>[[User talk:JessicaT|''ohayougozaimasu'']]</sup> 18:11, 21 December 2008 (EST)
