Do not edit any user pages, ever, especially not mine. Continue to do it again and I will have you reported for vandalism. Have a great day. :) ] 06:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the edit, magic stranger. I don't know who you are or what your edit did, but I spotted you helping to clean up the UW-Madison page, which makes you A-OK in my book. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) 4 June 2006, 22:28 (UTC).</small>

:::::::Okay. Let's see...one easy way (and the ]) is to add <nowiki>{{Boxboxtop}}</nowiki> to the top of your list (and remove the <div style... stuff you have there now) and <nowiki>{{Boxboxbottom}}</nowiki> to the end of the list. If you do that, I'd also suggest moving the entire list up to the top of the page - it'll look strange in the edit window, but it'll display better. If that's too long, you could also try chopping them up into sections. —''']]]''' 08:10, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

We seem to have taken care of that category rather quickly. Good work :) --] 06:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

:Heh, almost, I still need to take care of a few. But after that, I'm out of the userbox business. Good luck with the rest! —''']]]''' 07:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

''Hi, I remember that you put forth your name as a friendly admin at ], and I was wondering if you could help me out. I created a number of userboxes in my userspace without thinking, and I'd like to get them deleted so I can actually move the templates there in order to preserve the history. The thing is, I'd like to do it in batches so I can fix things up without falling too far behind. If I just posted a few links here a day, could you drop by and delete the pages?

''Hi, it's me again. I just wanted to mention that I posted the next batch of subpages I'd like deleted back up under the old heading where we were talking a few days ago. I hope I don't seem impatient, because I'm not; feel free to delete at your convenience. I'm just a little worried that you didn't get my message, as I didn't post it on the bottom of your page.

Sorry for the delay. My talk page has been active lately, and I missed your post until you posted a reminder. Please feel free to do what it takes to get my attention; I'll try to be more alert. -]<sup>(])</sup> 05:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Removes all the spam on the Charmed pages.

==Userboxes==
Hi there, saw your visit to my userpage. I tried to follow the discussion, but as best as I can understand it, you did something useful and helpful, because as I get it, the way userboxes are managed is going to change. Did I get it right? ]

:Yep. Basically, all userboxes are being moved into User: space, and the links will be changing too. I imagine you'll get lots more visits from other users correcting links in the near future. —''']]]''' 19:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

::When was this decided? Last time I checked there still was no consensus, and the straw polls I've seen about it did not seem to favour moving the userboxes into user space (though I admit I may not have seen all polls) (And yes I've read ] but no I don't agree with it nor do I think it should be implemented without more discussion) -- ] 08:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

:::There were no straw polls on ], and there does seem to be consensus among the users who have participated there to implement the proposal. However, if you have concerns, I (and other users, I'm sure) would be open to hearing them, but I think they would be better placed on the ] rather than here. —''']]]''' 09:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

::::Stupid me totally forgot to read the talk page on the proposal's page. While I still think that moving the boxes from template space to a non-centralized location on different user's pages is a bad idea, it seems that the effort is too far underway to stop it. Too bad. Thanks for the quick reply though -- ] 13:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::Some semi-centralized directories are quickly forming. ] and ] are probably the best ones so far. —''']]]''' 22:38, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the userbox update - much nicer than seeing a bunch of code because something got switched around. ;' ) - ] 02:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

==Edits==
Why are you constantly editing my User Page? It does get annoying, seeing that you have made no change to my ]. ] 00:10, 12 June 2006 (UTC) <small>]</small>

:There may not be any visible changes, but if you check the history, you will see that some of your userbox links have been changed. The new links will continue to display with no visible changes, but if the links had not been changed, the userboxes probably would not display correctly. —''']]]''' 03:38, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

You're right, we did go over this. More to the point, you're right I '''did''' fail to respond. Unfortunate of me, and I apologise unreservedly. Not appropiate of me to do slow-motion revert warring like that. <br/>]<span class="plainlinks"> </span> 09:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:No apology needed, really. <s>I am still willing to talk about this if you like...</s> As I was writing that, a random thought occurred to me. Maybe there's some kind of episode guide at the "official" ''Law & Order'' site. Would that kind of link be more acceptable?

==Adding category designation to userbox==
MiraLuka, it is common to have a userbox add a category as part of the userbox. When there is an applicable category, why wouldn't you want to have it added automatically? After all, if you are adding the userbox, you have already put yourself in the category. In this case: <nowiki>{{User:MiraLuka/Userboxes/User straight}}</nowiki>. Thanks! ] 03:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

:The use of user categories in userboxes is controversial, and as one of the major reasons for the implementation of ] is to avoid controversy, I think it is better that categories stay out of userboxes. However, the categories are listed at ] right next to the userboxes, and I added the category to all pages which were using the userbox before the category was removed.
:P.S. There is a related discussion going on at the talk page of ] that you may be interested in. —''']]]''' 03:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

== Heterosexual ==

I was wondering why you added the category heterosexual wikipedians to my userpage separately instead of incorporating it in the template itself as is standard practice. This creates problems with organisation. If there is no particular problem, I'll add the category to the template. ] 07:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
:All right, I see your reaons. ] 07:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
