Wikipedia:Userboxes/Time

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is an ongoing discussion about whether it is acceptable for userboxes to be created in Template: namespace. Feel free to express your opinions on where you think userboxes should be located (such as through the location straw poll). Some users are advising creating userboxes in the userspace rather than the template space, for example [[User:yourname/UBX/Human]] rather than [[Template:User human]], which they feel will help avoid conflict. Please feel free to add your ideas or comments to that discussion on the WP:GUS talk page. Please note however that WP:GUS is not policy, nor is it a guideline.
