I was just wondering if it was worth adding an additional parameter into all of the current "Themed" userboxes, taking example: Rock Raiders, even though it is discontinued, some people may still be collecting the sets from sites like Ebay, and wont have "collected" it yet... --Lcawte 08:59, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

• I agree- I realised this problem a couple of days ago, then forgot again :) A parameter would probably be a good option, and could work both ways, for example someone who used to collect Star Wars LEGO, then stopped could have one saying "collected". But what about the user categories, which say "collect" or "collected" in them too? I don't think two categories per theme would be a great idea NovaHawk 23:36, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
  • On the template side, an extra additional parameter should work with teh {{#if parser, categorys, we could do them as interested in <theme> or have some <theme> lego.. --Lcawte 10:34, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
    • I know I'm late to this, but simply having the template code read "collect{{{1}}}" would allow the user of the template to use {{User whatever|s}} or {{User whatever|ed}} to have it display either one or the other. Of course this would also allow for anything to be inserted as a word in there but that's down to the user themselves, really. Sonny Burnett ^Talk 03:01, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

We can't suppress the categories of that page except if we enter the code for the userboxes manually and without that category... User:Samdo994/sig1 13:25, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

That could work, actually. FB100Z • talk • contribs 23:54, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

We need another Theme

I just thought of something. We need a Pirates of the Caribean userbox. Darth Platypus 15:18, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

• There already is a userbox, a second renomination actually just went through. However, it hasn't been added to BP:U yet, sorry for any inconvenience. NovaHawk 23:53, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
  • ({{user POTC}} by the way). NovaHawk 23:54, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Darth Platypus 15:35, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

"You must have a permission to use the following eleven Userboxes first."

That's ridiculous, per WP:OWN. FB100Z • talk • contribs 23:56, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

It's not owning an article, it's just because the userbox puts the user in a certain category... User:Samdo994/sig1 10:48, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
