Is there a point to this one? It can be considered offensive [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 17:28, 13 November 2012 (CET) | Is there a point to this one?

Zelos, please start your subjects with a heading, would you? I too find it a tad discouraging. 'Tisn't offensive... just an award you'd only give yourself. Also, I object strongly to the use of UBX instead of the dominant Userbox.

Still, Also my bad, I forget. | |||
I agree with your object, it should be if anything "UB" as User Box are two seperate words, but otherwise Userbox works oto [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 17:36, 13 November 2012 (CET) | |||
I will make a note of that in my organisation of the template naming. We need a structure. [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]''' 17:39, 13 November 2012 (CET) | |||
:Actually, it is not two separate words. Ref: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userboxes userboxes on wikipedia]. Notice the consistent spelling of a MediaWiki userbox as ''userbox'' and the mention of the common abbrev. '''UBX'''. That being said, shall we use {{tn|Userbox:IGotMilk}} then? | |||
:On another note, as Waahlis mentioned, no, it is not meant to be offensive, nor should it ever be, as userboxes are not to be placed on another user's page (talk excepted) per common netiquette. Thus only users who opt to describe their own language as such are the intended users. Just thought I'd jump in and share my 0.1356 crowns.

I agree, 'tis one word. However, the word ''userbox'' in itself isn't very long, and thus acceptable instead of the less transparent ''UBX''. Also, it might be worth mentioning, that using a mixed case in any kind of title, is heavily discouraged. This is part of my staggering overhaul of the templates: [[User:Waahlis/On templates]]. Please leave a comment on that talk page for further discussion.
