==Migrate my archive?==
Hi there,

I noticed what you did with Rfrisbie's userbox archive, and was wondering if you could do the same to mine (if it's not too much work) at ] (a full list is at ]). I've been out of the userbox "business" for a while now, and I recently asked for a name change, so I thought this would be the ideal time to move them all out. Please let me know if you're willing to do this. —''']''' 08:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
:No work for me, just my bot. I'll start the work in a couple of days. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 17:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks! —''']''' 21:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I know you said you'd have your bot work on my request, and I don't mean to pester you. I just wanted to be sure you didn't forget, that's all. Thanks again. —''']''' 01:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:Nope, don't worry; I didn't forget :-) —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 01:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, don't mind me, I'm a little forgetful myself, so I just worry that everyone else is like me. :) —''']''' 01:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:::All userboxes moved to User:UBX's space, now the bot is updating transclusions. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 02:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::::Great. I noticed when I was cleaning all those boxes out of my watchlist that there's at least one odd one: {{tlu|User:UBX/DEUTSCH}} (moved to ]) is actually just a redirect to ]. So transclusions should probably be pointed there. I'll let you know if I find another odd one. —''']''' 02:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, OK. The bot run is fully automatic, so for now I'll have it migrate it to ] and maybe afterwards I'll bypass the redirect. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 02:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::Sorry about that. I suppose I should have checked first. —''']''' 02:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::::No problem. Just to fill you in, the bot says that the estimated finish time is around 3/20/2007 3:27:23 EST, which would be 3/20/2007 07:27:23 UTC. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 02:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Neat that it tells you when it'll be done. Thanks for telling me. I did find one other odd one, though. ] redirects to ]. And do you think you could migrate ] as well? —''']''' 02:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Your answer is :-) —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 03:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::::::I'm going to bed for the night, but I'll leave the bot running. It's going quicker than expected, so expect the time to be approximately 3/20/2007 06:43:49 UTC. Then I'll go through and fix any extra cases (i.e. protected pages, pages caught by the spam filter, pages with extremely unusual formatting that weren't caught by the bot, etc.) and then when all transclusions are fixed will delete your subpages. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 03:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::::Well, have a good night's sleep. :) —''']''' 03:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:Well, it looks like your bot has stopped. I'm not sure if it finished, though, because my name change seems to have gone through around the same time. One thing I do know is that all the userbox pages got moved to my new namespace, so now there are twice as many pages to delete. :( —''']''' 06:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::Well, it was done migrating as far as it knew, but unfortunately the name change really screwed everything up :-) I'm going to school now, I'll be home later today and will try and fix the rest. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 11:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Sorry to make you do work :-). Do you mind going through the templates listed at ] and marking all of them with no more transclusions for deletion? Thanks. It should be most of them, and at that point it will be much easier for me to see what work I have left. If you could also do the same for ], that would be great. Thanks! (you should do the first ones first because they redirect to the second ones) —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 21:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::::Certainly. I was just going to ask you what I could do to help. It might take a little while for me to get to them, though, I'm just about to call home. —''']''' 22:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::I'm in no hurry :-) Whenever you get to it, even if it's several days, is fine with me. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 22:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, everything's all done. —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 22:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
:Anytime :-) —<span style="color: red;">] (])</span> 23:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for my mistake on ]. I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I can't figure out how to make the importance option disappear when the page is not an article. (Compare ] to ].) I also am not sure how to make the wording of the template on non-article pages to not use the word "article" in the line "This article has been rated..." (again like in the example). Do you know how to fix it? Thanks. —''']''' 06:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:How's that? —] (]/]) 06:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
::Hmm...that works, although it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I'm just a little worried that (for normal articles) if people don't see that the importance is unassessed, they might just not assess it at all... —''']''' 06:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:::So you just want to show them that importance hasn't been assessed if it's an article talk page? Sounds doable. —] (]/]) 06:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
::::Right...I think. Heh, this has been a learning experience for me, I'm not used to dealing with that much code. —''']''' 06:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::Did that fix it? —] (]/]) 06:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
::::::It looks like it did, but ] image talk page still shows "This ''article'' has..." Would you just need to add "Image talk=image" in where you did ? —''']''' 06:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Correct. —] (]/]) 06:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Fixed. Would you prefer Images to be "NA-class" or would you like an "Image-class"? —] (]/]) 06:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
