Userbox migrations

Scepia- I have been running RC on the template namespace and have two requests. (1) Please mark your edits minor where possible so that RC patrollers can pay less attention to them. (2) Babel boxes like {{User en}} should not be userfied (see the second point of WP:GUS#German implementation features). BigDT 01:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just the point I was coming here to make: Babel/language userboxes are "non-controversial" and thus do not need to be moved. (Particularly one as widely used as the {{User_en}} box.) I'll take it that this was in error, and revert the change.--Leflyman^Talk 01:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: I see that you've just done so yourself. Thanks, --Leflyman^Talk 01:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the template talk page back. Cheers. Dina 01:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just one more note: If you have to revert a move, but can't because a soft redirect is in the way, please get admin help instead of copy-and-pasting; that separates edit history from content and is therefore technically a violation of the GFDL. If you need to make an uncontroversial or consensual move, then you can use the {{db-move}} template to request that the target page be deleted by an admin. I've corrected {{user en}} for you; this is just something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks! — TKD::Talk 12:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Puniser fan userbox migration

i see that you migrated the punisher fan userbox to your own userspace, but being the creator of the said userbox, may i kindly know the reason as to why? as im not fully versed in UBX migration policy? †Bloodpack† 02:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the prompt reply, but i felt being responsible for the said userbox, i took the liberty of moving it to my own userspace.thanks for the vigilance, ill try to move my created userboxes to my userspace.cheers! †Bloodpack† 03:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User Box counting user box

If you are interested, you may wish to add {{User ubx num|7|[[User:Scepia/User Boxes|created or adopted]]}} to your page. Just replace 7 with the number you have actually adopted or created and "User Boxes" with the homepage of your user box collection. I have it on my page with 7.

Userbox Migration

Hey, how's it goin'? I'm not meaning to be rude, or anything, but why must you "host" all of those userboxes? Are you trying to make yourself known, or something? If so, that seems fairly selfish of you, because your moving of those userboxes does nothing but cause difficulty for those that already had the userbx on their user page. Also, it's a lot easier to type {{user whatever}} than it is to type {{User:Scepia/whatever}}. Please take what I've said into consideration next time you are moving a userbox to one of your subpages for selfish reasons.

I agree with Geekler and Bloodpack.YOU are a WikiTroll.It is very selfish.The migration took away some of my userboxes when I typed your "new and improved" code. Yashtulsyan 19:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox Migration yet again

Can you please explain to me why you are migrating all of these userboxes? --ChrisGriswold (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA)

i say its a conquest, building his own userbox empire, one userbox under one regime O_O' ph34r! †Bloodpack† 08:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Misunderstanding

Why do you congratulate someone for making unfounded, selfish claims? The truth is that userboxes need to be moved from the template space to the userspace... and yet you agree with him and he is a hero for it. Scepia 01:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am not making him a hero. I just congratulated him for being bold. And I must confess was agreeing with him about typing user is easier than User:Scepia/ (but I did not agree when Geekler went far enough and starting calling you selfish). But that was before I read Wikipedia:Userbox migration. Now I have understood why the userbox migration is continuing, so I do not agree with him now. sign here • HAPPY HOLIDAYS! — s d 3 1 4 1 5 13:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User Boxes

Not to be rude or anyhting but i too would like to know why so many userboxes have been moved under your namesake. It causes a lot of trouble and work for anyone who already has them on their userpage.Rearete 00:52, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
