User:UberScienceNerd/Wikipedian Philosophy/My View on Userboxes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I, Gray Porpoise, believe that this is how userboxes should be organized:

  • Inflammatory, racist, etc. userboxes should not exist,
  • Userboxes that should be in the template namespace:
    • Babel boxes, writing systems, regional dialects, programming languages, grammatical usage, and non-ISO languages
    • userboxes that show how the user contributes to Wikipedia
    • userboxes that tell about the user's education, location, religion, age, career, political party, and other factors that might influence the quality or neutrality of their contributions; however, they should be just for that point, and not for any sort of campaigning
  • Userboxes that should be in the user namespace:
    • those concerning interests and just plain goofy things
