Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/Animals

variations

I think that this page should have variations of these templates to where it doesn't just display these animals as favorites, but rather also likes and interests in these animals. What I mean is I would love to see templates of all of these animals here on this page saying I like them instead of them saying they're my favorite.

Also I would like to see the Animal Interest User Boxes that are listed on the Wikipedia:Userboxes/Interests page to be moved here to this page because it would be better fitting here. Sawblade05 10:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Awww huge let down

There isn't any Aussie animals :(, with the exception of the GWS. Perhaps you could make some? I'm quite happy to discuss this.

Could you also provide a llama? Sven the llama 06:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

My favourite

My favourite animal is the skunk. Where's the skunk? Michaelritchie200 17:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, my favorite are otters. They're teh awesomest! Would someone make an otter user box? =] Speckle 03:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Pleco

If it isnt to much to ask could someone creat a Pleco box Please?--Lolicon3043910 18:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm...

I agree with Sawblade05 that the userboxes shouldn't always say an animal's the favorite. Also... Why aren't there any horses? Barn Cat 18:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

horses rock!

i agree, barncat.... we need horses, I was wondering the same thing! I especially LOVE white Arabians! We really need a horse box, .... a unicorn one would be good too.

Send me a talk message when someone makes one. Thanks! :)

: I found a userbox-creating template and made an ok horse box for now. Horse crazies, go ahead, use it! (I dunno how to post a box properly on this page, go to "edit this page" on the "other animals" and take the last code). Victoria uni 05:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I made a new one that's actually a real userbox, it's on the page under "Other Animals". Enjoy. :) Victoria uni 06:45, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Missing dog... (edit: has been found)

It is a shame that there is no Mastiff userbox. I'll try and figure out how to make one if it is allowed. Rebelyell2006 (talk) 05:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I just made one, using Image:Brutus,_New_Caney,_TX.jpg as the base for the picture. I hope it is acceptable, and if it needs changes that I am not aware of, please edit it. If anybody else has a better picture, please use it. Rebelyell2006 (talk) 07:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Whoops, I don't know how to spell. If someone knows how to correct the spelling in the url... Rebelyell2006 (talk) 07:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I corrected the URL. Rebelyell2006 (talk) 01:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

No butterfly watcher userbox?

--Wloveral (talk) 23:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

 Done. See User talk:Wloveral#Butterfly watcher userbox. xenocidic (talk) 00:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Created a new one, how do I make the code for it?

I created a new UBX. How do I create the code for it and get it "approved?" Here's the code:

{{Userbox |border-c=#000000|border-s=1|info-c=#885C02|info-s=8|info-fc=#000000||id=[[file:Lizard.png]]|info='''This user has a [[Leopard Gecko]] as a pet and loves it. :)'''}}

This user has a Leopard Gecko as a pet and loves it. :)

Post the answer on my talk page please. Unibrow1994 (talk) 01:21, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

That looks fine. There is no "approval process. As long as it doesn't break any rules (and that one doesn't) then you just have to create a page to put it on, such as User:Unibrow1994/LeopardGecko and then transclude it to the appropriate page, such as Wikipedia:Userboxes/Animals. Then you can put it on your user page and perhaps other people will put it on their user pages as well, once they have seen it. Let me know here if you need help with that. I'll post this on your user talk page as well. - Ahunt (talk) 16:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Request

Could someone make a "My favourite animal is the Giant Squid" box? Or even just a regular Squid or a Colossal Squid. Anything to do with Squid. Thanks.Giantdevilfish (talk) 22:57, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi - no problem! How does this look?

Code	Result
{{User:Ahunt/GiantSquid}}	This user's favourite animal is the Giant squid	Usage

Feel free to use it and if you want different colours, image or text just let me know or go ahead and edit the box yourself! - Ahunt (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks alot. If you wouldn't mind could you make the box red (rather than plain white) and if possible could you use either this picture http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Live_giant_squid_first_image.jpg or this picture http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Giant_squid_melb_aquarium03.jpg? Those imagea of the Giant Squid are in colour and looks more appealing than the black and white image. Of course if its too much trouble than I'll gladly settle for the original box you posted.Giantdevilfish (talk) 18:55, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

No trouble at all, this is the fun part! I couldn't use the first image you mention because it is a copyrighted image, but the second one is okay - check above for the new version and let me know if you think it be changed some more. - Ahunt (talk) 19:09, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Great!! Thanks alot. That's a sharp looking box. I already added it to my page. Thanks again!Giantdevilfish (talk) 19:12, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Glad I could help out! - Ahunt (talk) 19:15, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Say Ahunt. I don't mean to bug you again but I was curious if you could do one more. I'm a huge fan of Cephalopods. When it comes to Cephalopods there is what is known as the big four. Octopus, Squid, Cuttlefish, and Nautilus. I noticed there isn't a Nautilus box. I was thinking if it was possible you could create one. I think the pic of the Nautilus on the top of its wiki-page is pretty sharp and maybe the color of the box could be dark blue. The background of the pic is light blue and I think the double blue combo would give it a nice nautical feel. What do you say?Giantdevilfish (talk) 01:08, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem, its not bugging, just a fun part of being part of this project is making boxes for other editors! How is this?

Code	Result

Awesome! Great! It looks just like I was envisioning it. It has a nice cool blue look to it. Great job. Thanks again!Giantdevilfish (talk) 02:05, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem, these are fun to do. Let me know if you would like any more made up. - Ahunt (talk) 11:59, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Well since you like doing them then maybe one more. {last one I promise;-)}. As much as I love cephalopods, I also adore sea monsters. In particular The Kraken. Is it possible to make a box about the Kraken? Being a fictional animal like a Dragon, I don't know exactly where you could put it on the main page. If possible I'd like the box to read "this users favourite Cryptid is The Kraken". The picture on the top of the Kraken page would be cool, and perhaps a black box with white text.Giantdevilfish (talk) 14:04, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

No sweat, these take mere seconds to do, especially since you have such clear ideas on text, illustrations and colours. How is this:

Code	Result
{{User:Ahunt/Kraken}}	This users favourite Cryptid is the Kraken	Usage

- Ahunt (talk) 15:16, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I started a new section for the Kraken box, which I called "Mythical creatures". Feel free to rename that section if that isn't the best designation for it. - Ahunt (talk) 15:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Great! Once again you delivered the goods and hit one out of the park. I appreciate all your help.Giantdevilfish (talk) 17:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem, those are easy and fun to do! If you would like any more just drop me a note. - Ahunt (talk) 17:52, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Request

Say, could someone make a Megalodon box? The box could say "This user wishes the Megalodon wasn't extinct". And perhaps use this picture from the Wiki page https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Megalodon#mediaviewer/File:VMNH_megalodon.jpg

I was thinking a black background with light blue writing.

Thanks.Giantdevilfish (talk) 18:16, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Perfect thanks!!Giantdevilfish (talk) 19:50, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Say would it be OK if you did another? How's about the Colossal squid? I was thinking "This user wishes he could have a Colossal squid as a pet". The picture on the page (the drawing of the squid with the silhouette of the diver) could be used and maybe a dark blue background with red writing.Giantdevilfish (talk) 20:06, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

How is this? I tried some red fonts, but on the dark blue background they were very hard to read, so I went with a lighter red colour. Let me know if you want changes.

The page has exceeded the number of transclusions allowed, so the only way to fix it is to split the page into three pages. I can do that. - Ahunt (talk) 15:33, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
