Request - June 16, 2020

Hi, I want a userbox that says: This user loves userboxes. Thanks! Geekpotato24 (talk) 18:39, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I recommend checking out Category:User templates about userboxes for a userbox you like. If you don't find one you like, let me know and I will make one to your liking. --Diriector_Doc├^Talk_Contribs─────┤ 23:06, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! Can you make a userbox that says: This user plays lichess. with the new lichess logo. Geekpotato24 (talk) 17:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

@Diriector Doc: Sorry for bothering, but did you see my new request? Thanks! Geekpotato24 (talk) 21:29, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@Geekpotato24: Sorry, no I didn't. I must have missed it somehow. I'll get to it when I have a chance. --Diriector_Doc├─────┤^Talk_Contribs 22:20, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@Geekpotato24: Finally. I've been in a dry spell lately, but this should fit the bill.

Ah, looks like a bot removed the logo image. Forgot to check the usage rights. I will find an alternative, or you can suggest one if you want. --Diriector_Doc├─────┤^Talk_Contribs 01:29, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Okay, thanks anyway. Geekpotato24 (talk to me!) 18:07, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

I was thinking about a new user box that indicates that the user is against YouTube ads. Well now I'm requesting it now. Colour of the userbox would be yellow, the colour that YouTube uses to indicate ads. On the left, it would say "no ads" and the text on the right would say, "This user is against ads on YouTube".

Requesting a userbox stating: "This user has served in the Women's Royal Naval Service". Perhaps there's a copyright-free image which could be taken from here [1]? Anne (talk) 08:22, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

• Here is your Userbox:

Wikitext	userbox	where used

I couldn't find any copyright free images. On Wikimedia commons are images of rank insignia but sadly no Badge.--Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 11:08, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

It was kind of you to try Asmodea Oaktree, but without an icon, badge or flag it tends to look a little lifeless! The WRN should read WRNS, and the second half is too dark to read. It also seems rather longer than most others. Much as I appreciate your effort, I will give this a pass if you will forgive me! But thank you anyway. Anne (talk) 18:36, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

@Anne : Thank you foor your feedback. I have changed the colors to make it more readable and added an icon. --Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 09:01, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

How kind of you to try again and this is much better. I know I sound awfully picky, but how about the same as the one for the RN, which I am using on my userpage, but changing the words to read "This user is a former member of the Women's Royal Naval Service". I realise this may make the box too long though? Anne (talk) 10:15, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

No problem. For the future if you have concrete ideas it is best to give as much details as possible. Without it the userbox creator has to guess. --Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 11:33, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you again. This idea only developed after seeing how the suggestions transpired. I wasn't hiding ideas from you deliberately! I may still find it is too wide/long but I certainly do appreciate your efforts. Anne (talk) 12:26, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Regarding width: it has the exact same format as the other royal navy userboxes in Wikipedia:Userboxes/Military/British Armed Forces.--Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 12:48, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Now in use and fitting perfectly! Anne (talk) 12:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Request - October 14, 2020

To show that someone has respect for aspects of the gaming community, but doesn't physically. Examples:

This user likes retro games, but has no urge to actually play them. Pastel blue box with black text, and red text for "has no urge to actually play them". Picture of an NES.

This user really wants a classic NES, but can't afford it. Light Red box with black text. Picture of an NES.

Custom template. This user doesn't like Insert game name here, but understands why you would play it. Black box with yellow text. No image.

This zoomer wasn't alive for the cool retro games, but thinks they are really interesting. Pastel blue box with black text. Picture of Mr. Game and Watch (to represent modern adaptation of retro gaming).

One more unrelated:

This user listens to video game music, not actual music. Light purple box with blue text. Wikiproject video game logo image.

I'd use all of these.
