Request - June 10, 2024

How about a userbox that says "This user uses singing as a coping mechanism" or "This user sings to cope" (which one you think is better), and another one that says "This user sings using Smule"? Mox Eden (talk) 11:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

@Mox Eden: How do these look?

@Clarinetguy097: I... was actually hoping that people won't complete the first request, as I've realized how stupid it is and how it's hyperspecific to practically one person (which is me). But maybe you can make the background of the userbox a darker color, a sort of gloomy one. And for the Smule userbox, can you find an image of the app icon instead? Mox Eden (talk) 02:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

I've adjusted the colors of the first one. I'd be kind of surprised if there was only one person in the world it applied to.

As for the second, I'm not sure if the icon is in the public domain. Clarinetguy097 (talk) 15:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

@Clarinetguy097: Do images have to be public domain in order to be used for userboxes? Mox Eden (talk) 16:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Technically, freely licensed. Clarinetguy097 (talk) 16:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Request - July 20, 2024

How about a few userboxes under the lines of "This user suffers from dissociation" and some variants thereof, depending on which disorder applies? Mox Eden (talk) 11:44, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

@Mox Eden: Are there any images on Commons that you think would be appropriate? Clarinetguy097 (talk) 16:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

@Voxucifer: It seems like you put the code for your userbox in this section. This talk page is for users to request userboxes to be made and for other users to make said userboxes. I would advise moving the code for your userbox to a User, Project, or Template namespace. It seems like the best namespace for this particular userbox would be a User namespace. Afterward, you can present your userbox in the New Userboxes talk page by transcluding it with this code:

{{yytop}}
{{yy|XXX}}
{{yyend}}

where XXX is the full page name of your userbox. -- KomradeKalashnikov (talk) 14:24, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
