Forum:SH:An official userbox tutorial

Ahoy, there. In addition to all my crazy fan fiction shenanigans around here, I occasionally end up shifting through some really old articles, including policy pages, on this wiki. There are a lot of old pages that are pretty much relics of bygone days and can stay the way they are for historicity's sake; however, I think there are a few that could use some updating because they could actually be useful for new users now. So, today, for your loving vote and perusal, I present to you: an updated userbox tutorial.

My goal here is to take three help pages we already have, found here, here, and here, and combine them into one nice, pretty page. With this tutorial, all the information you could possibly want to know about userboxes (and probably a lot you don't) can be found in one place. Plus, both pages were made very early on&mdash;if I recall, pre-2008&mdash;so they don't take into account some newer templates we have and coding options available. And to top it off, I think the format I ended up with makes the information easier to find and easier to read, but I'll leave that judgment up to all of you.

With this in mind, this is a simple vote: accept, or do not accept. As with any other proposal, if you see something in the wording or presentation that you think should be changed, leave a comment. If my coding or use of templates are 5 years out of date (which has been known to happen), let me know. If it's underwhelming, and you think I should stop bringing up these crazy ideas, tell me that too. Of course, acknowledge goes to MaulYoda and C3PO the Dragon Slayer for the original pages.

Voting will last for one week until March 7, 00:00 EST or at the archiver's discretion.  JM  76  Comm 21:34, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
