There is no WikiProject Userboxes in my homewiki, so I come here to ask your opinion. How do you think, would adding TemplateData to userboxes make them easier to discover and use? If so, where is the best place to put it: on the template page, on the documentation subpage or a separate subpage? Thanks in advance for your comments.

It seems that each region that can be passed to {{User in region}} template has a subpage of Wikipedia:Userboxes that lists the most common variations of that userbox. For example, Wikipedia:Userboxes/Location/US-HI. It seems to me that option 56, which shows "This user is from _", is one of the most useful variations and should be clearly advertized on those subpages. But since I assume there are like a thousand of them I hardly want to edit them all. So... is there a way to show that option on all of those subpages or is editing them one at a time the only way?

Justinkunimune, it might be better to ask this question at Template talk:User in region. —⁠andrybak (talk) 12:02, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 You are invited to join the discussion at User talk:Cattell91 § The link on the PlayStation Network userboxes, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. Discussion has opened up regarding the only link produced by the {{User:Neoarchon/PSN Tag}} userbox, which is supposed to link to a user’s PlayStation Network profile page. An alternative suggested is to link to unofficial sites that offer the same web service. —UndueMarmot (talk) 16:55, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey all,

Just writing this message because I have a problem with my Sliders (TV series) userbox see here: - User:D Eaketts/Userboxes/Sliders (TV series) but my user page User:D Eaketts and my new userbox page for my updated main page see here:- User:D Eaketts/User Boxes which I had created is connecting to the Category: American television user templates category for some reason and all three of them are on it, I am kind of new to creating userboxes and only created 2 of them in the last few years. I hope I can get a second opinion on what I am doing wrong or can fix it for me. Many Thanks. D Eaketts (talk) 14:23, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
