Editing pages in userspace...

...is generally discouraged, unless you're in your own userspace. I would suggest leaving a comment on each user's talk page instead. ~ lhavelund (talkcontrib) 22:37, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I would agree with that idea if I was editing the page in a way that added, removed or ultimately altered the viewable information, but in this case I identified a tricky problem and came to the logical conclusion of "move this information to a different spot on the page, without editing its contents, then prevent a broken image link from existing". If I possessed the knowledge necessary to edit the offending template in a way that would've solved the problem, then I would've done so without touching the relevant userpages, but I find that the method I ultimately took was justified (and explained in my edit summary), userpage or not. Nonetheless, I'll use your suggested method from this point onwards if such situations arise again, and I hope that the owner of those userpages agrees with the edits, thereby re-instating them.

So to sum up, "I wasn't doing anything harmful, but I will use a user's talk page in the future". Keep things simple. -RJ 23:00, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

A fresh Flag of St. Andrews!

Here you are, good sir! ~ lhavelund (talkcontrib) 13:51, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks muchly! I'll convert it into a Nationality Userbox immediately. Mainman (Talk) 13:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
And there we have it. Mainman (Talk) 14:09, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Much better! Glad you like it :) ~ lhavelund (talkcontrib) 17:22, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Userboxes

Feel free to steal some of mine. ~ lhavelund (talkcontrib) 17:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Codes

So eventually, while im creating those codes on the templates i just going to remove them instead of having them there no displayed but existing right? The Noble Scout 14:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

The specific issue was the <noinclude> tag at the bottom of the template, which contained a Category listing. This section of a template technically does get included on the page, and should only be added if it is on its own dedicated page (eg. Template:InsertNameHere), because if the full template code is used in the 'Userspace', then we get odd effects like users being displayed in template categories. If you have to post raw template code to your userspace in the future, then just remember to remove that <noinclude> line (everything after the }} which 'closes' the main part of the template).

Pegasus Boots

I'm working on getting an image, but it's gonna be hard, due to the pulsating glow effect. The Boots are basically just 2 little red wings that attach themselves to the players shoes, but there's this stupid golden pulsating glow effect. I'm still fiddling around in Photoshop, trying to see if I can get a good screenshot of just one wing with a medium amount of glow. 404 User Not Found 17:30, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

RE: Template:UserItem

Why, thank you :) You've made my day, kind sir! 404 User Not Found 18:56, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh yes, I feel I should mention something: I came up with the template originally, but the code needed to use my original version was quite big, and it wasn't dynamic, so you had to enter the hex color codes for the border and background and link text based on the quality. It was a pain in the butt. Mousseketeer came along and created a Dynamic version in his userspace, which I copied the code from and turned into a template. So split the thanks 50/50 between myself and Mousse. That template wouldn't be around if it wasn't for Mousse's excellent dynamic template making abilities. 404 User Not Found 19:09, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Where are you? + New userbox you might like

Where you go? Why you disappearin'? Also, Template:User_StrangeRank. :D Just created it. Used the same coding as Template:UserItem, just changed a bunch of stuff. Quite a beauty of a userbox, ain't she? 404 User Not Found 22:55, 15 July 2011 (PDT)

Tis' a beautiful Userbox, indeed! As for wiki prescence, I've struggled to manage my time between the wiki, a college course, a job, and gaming / movie breaks. For now, and probably even after I start contributing again, the best place to contact me is on the IRC channel. Mainman (TalkContribs.) 04:10, 16 July 2011 (PDT)
Actually 404, in light of recent events, you can forget about contacting me. This stunt has convinced me that you have none of the decency, maturity or trustworthiness I thought you had. WTF man? Mainman (TalkContribs.) 08:18, 22 July 2011 (PDT)

Thanks!

Thank you for the nomination :D you are a nice lad. Stunned.png The Noble Scout (T/C) 07:26, 21 August 2011 (PDT)
