Userbox question

How do you change userbox code from the HTML or CSS version into the wiki code that's like: {{User:Username/Example}}

The {{ }} syntax represents a call to another page to be transcluded. That is, if you want the userbox

This user did not lose her other wheel

to have the wikicode {{User:Theunicyclegirl/Not lost wheel}}, you'd create the page User:Theunicyclegirl/Not lost wheel with the content {{Userbox |border-c=#000000 |border-s=1 |id-c=#fff |id-s=12 |id-fc=#000 |info-c=#039 |info-s=8 |info-fc=#fff |id=[[image:unicycle_icon.JPG|abc]] |info=This user did '''not''' lose her other wheel}}. If you want others to be able to use your box, you can add it to one of the userbox directories too! (see User:MiraLuka/Userboxes/Nav for a list of directories). —METS501 (talk) 02:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Block requests and some other vandal-fighting suggestions

Hi there. Thanks for your vandal fighting! I have a couple of suggestions for you. I noticed that you have made several requests to have users blocked at WP:ANI here, here, and here. You may have realised it already, but the proper place to report users that require a block is WP:AIV. That page is checked very regularly and it often only takes one or two minutes for a user to get blocked, whereas WP:ANI is checked rather less frequently. I also noticed from your contributions log that you are adding welcome notices from your own template page, which is fine. You can also add the same message by adding {{subst:welcomeg}} on the user's page; there are other welcome messages (and all the userpage warning messages) at WP:UTM. Please note that almost all userpage warnings require that they be substituted, which is explained (but not very evident) at the top of the WP:UTM page. You do this by putting subst: before the warning, e.g. {{subst:uw-create2}}. As well it's a good idea to specify the page that the warning is about. This helps the vandal (especially in those instances where their acts were done in good faith) and other vandal fighters. You do this by putting a "pipe" | (above the backslash) after the warning, e.g. {{subst:uw-create2|Inappropriate page}}. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer further. Keep up the good work! Regards, Flyguy649^talk_contribs 14:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Adoption

Hello, I dont want to be adopted, I just know how to conatct you or how user talk works. You left a "speedy deletion" on a Linda Ronstatdt reference in an Echo Park article. I dont want to sound rude, but why should you even care, you dont even LIVE in Echo Park. You probably dont even KNOW anyone who has ever lived there( except perhaps one of the newer hapless and clueless yuppies that have recently migrated there). Besides, I thought that it automatically linked the WikMusic reference, which it didnt(I thought Wikpedia and WikMusicguide were somehow related, silly me). In any case, I added something to the stub, but I think I footnoted it incorrectly on the original "Echo Park" article.So I leave you know so you may contnue picking lint off your sweater and correcting article inclusions....teens....SHEESH!!!!— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Hello! Will you please adopt me? I'm ready to work hard, and I'll be sure to listen to whatever you say! --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 19:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! I would love to be adopted. Shall I place the template on my userbox page? --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 19:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 19:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Done! What is my first assignment? --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 20:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, my main adopter Xiner, only gives me an assignment every week or so, so he recommended getting another adopter. And Pharaoh Hound isn't around too often (probably a time zone thing), so I thought that one more adopter would be just enough. Is that a problem? --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 20:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Here's a list...

• Formatting tables, pictures, text
• Reporting vandalism/innopropriate user names/unkind users
• General Editting Rules
• Citing sources
• RfA etc. voting

Is that okay? --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 20:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Pop Quiz

I actually think that I know this one! First, you would check the article's history to see if the page was vandalised. If it was, it should be reverted, and the vandalizer(s) should recieve an appropriate warning and message. If it wasn't vandalised, a "cleanup" template should be added, as well as a reason for the cleanup. I think that's it... --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 20:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

He, he, he. I read the articles, but I'm having problems deciding which template to place on pages that need deletion. --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 21:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Which template do you normally use? I think that the {{db-reason|reason}} seems pretty versatile, so I think I'll stick to using it. --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 21:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Aye, that makes things a little easier. Thanks! --Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 22:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Unicyclegirl! I've done a lot of new article work. Is their anything else that you would like me to do? Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 21:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Can you show me how to make a userbox where the user can change the box directly? For example, a template that looked like this: {{User:Cremepuff222/User FavoriteAnimal|"Animal Name"}} would read "this user's favorite animal is "Animal Name".

That's probably a pretty confusing question, sorry. It's kinda hard to put into words... Thanks! Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 01:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I know how to construct boxes (see User:Cremepuff222/OriginalBoxes), but I would like to know how to make a template that you actuall yinput data, like {{User:Cremepuff222/User Food|cheese}} would produce "This user's favorite food is cheese", and {{User:Cremepuff222/User Food|porridge}} would produce "This user's favorite food is porrifge".

Unique Concept

I changed the original listing for Liav Fund into what I believe is appropriate for Wikipedia. The standard meaning of venture capital is a company that provides funding for startups or established companies, but often don't provide the experience needed to help them succeed and thus, most fail. What is unique about Liav Fund is that they do provide the hands on help to young companies to get to market. This important difference should be noted. The link to Liav Fund follows from the listing of venture capital companies. You can find there other companies, such as Atlas Venture and others, who have similar entries but may not be as unique in concept to Liav Fund. So I respectfully request to have the speedy deletion removed. Many thanks. User:Davidl40

Oops! I inverted the format... Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 00:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, if you haven't already heard, there's been a huge debate over the importance of autograph books and some people think that they should all be deleted. A list of autograph books was created, and mine was on there too. Some user saw my autograph book, and then decided to look at my userpage. Apparently, he thought that it violated WP:MYSPACE, so he listed my userpage and all of my other "disruptive and unimportant" subpages onto an MfD. *takes deep breath* And that's what happened. Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 00:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The main reason for the high user page edit count is because I just recently discovered the "show preview" button. That was a mistake, and if I had used it, I reckon that my userpage's edit count would be more like 300.

Also, I used to help other user's design his or her user page, so that increased the edit count too. I don't help users much anymore, just so that I can get more mainspace edits. Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 00:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the notability tag on that article . . . I tagged it for notability because the claims of notability were not backed up by the sources. However, the unreferenced tag is fine too, so I'm not going to change it back. janejellyroll 02:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Adoption?

- - Hi, I'm fairly new to wikipedia, and am currently looking for someone to adopt me so I can figure out what I'm doing! If you're willing to adopt me, please contact me. Ninja! 23:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I posted the above note, and think I managed to delete it on subsequent editing. So, here goes again! Ninja! 23:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

In response to your question

Well, I am fairly new to wikipedia. I suppose I have edited a little bit without an account for maybe a month or so, mostly minor edits, but I made an account and attempted to help out more about a week ago. I really only know what I've been able to figure out- How to join join a translation, how to identify vandalism, post warnings, and report vandals, and some basics of the wiki code to write articles. What I would like to learn is how to help more, and what I can best help with- I have a good amount of free time, and am very willing to help out, but, other than translating a couple of articles and reporting a few vandals, I have no idea what to do!

EDIT: I changed the {adoptoffer} you posted on my user page to {Adoptee|Theunicyclegirl}. I'm assuming this was the right thing to do, if not, please tell me!

Well, I would like to learn how to find requests for content additions about certain subjects ( I would certainly imagine there is a feature with this very purpose somewhere on the Community Portal) So that I could perhaps help out in at least semi-technical areas involving Chemistry, for example. Also, I would like to learn how to create my own userboxes.

Thanks for the link to the chemistry stub page! I think that will keep me busy for some time. But also, I was wondering if there was a list of chemistry pages whose creation had been requested somewhere?

Your VandalProof Application

Dear Theunicyclegirl,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. Daniel Bryant 22:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Dropping by...

Hey, UniGirl! I take it that you're feeling better? You're not failing as an adopter at all, I think that you're great! I saw that message left by Bobo, how on earth did you manage to handle that? I don't know what I'd do in that situation. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 21:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I don't have VandalProof. I do have TWINKLE, though, and I find it simply AMAZING! --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 21:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

We must be on different pages, because Bobo left a comment about him being drunk because the world hated him or something. A couple hours later, the message was removed, so I figured you had done something. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 21:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

2. Did you see that autoblock fiasco on my talk page? --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 21:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

2. Yes --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 21:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

The edit to your talk page

The post you're reffering to was made last Thursday night by a friend of mine. He showed up at my house drunk out of his mind, and I let him crash on my sofa, as my parents weren't home that night. I really didn't plan on telling his parents about it, until I noticed what he had posted to your talk page, which was still on my computer screen. I am assuming he picked your page because it was what was in my browser when I went to bed (and I have "remember me" checked, so it does not log me out). I went ahead and reverted his edit, because I didn't think it was relevant to anything that went on here in wikipedia, and was vandalism at best. I chose not to tell you about it because I thought, correctly, that explaining it would be kind of awkward- I just kind of hoped you wouldn't notice.

I suppose I should apologize to you. It probably was not the best decision not to inform you of this, and I realize that edits cannot actually be permanently deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobo The Ninja (talk • contribs)
