Talk:DigimonWiki:Userboxes

Ideas:

Editor type:
 * Edit count: "This user is Mega-level."
 * Recent changes patroller: (Clockmon) "This user protects time in the Digital World."
 * Fan fiction editor/patroller: "This user has created a Digital World."
 * Welcoming "committee": (Guidemon) "This user welcomes you to the Digital World!"
 * Wiki/Series Addict: (Shibumi/Monster Makers) "This user is stuck in the Digital World."
 * Vandal-fighter: (Alphamon, or possibly input) "This user is a Royal Knight."
 * Admin/featured user: (all, or input) "This user is a member of the Gaia Origin."
 * WikiGnome, WikiDragon, WikiFairy, WikiElf, WikiKnight? I have to admit, I'd never heard of these before a week ago.
 * Other wikis: "This user also edit ". This might be reworded to be in-universe, but will either have a Ryo pic, or the wiki's logo.

Personal:
 * Gender, language, or nationality? This should not be in-universe.
 * Family: "This user is a member of the Deep Savers."
 * Species: "This user is a Beast Digimon."
 * Attribute: "This user is a Data Digimon."
 * Element: "This user is a Steel Digimon."/"This user lives at the Steel Terminal/on the Steel Continent."
 * DigiMemory: "This user has an Aquan DigiMemory."
 * Type (will probably have to be input-determined): "This user is an Android Digimon."
 * Character - either a Digimon or human, with a relevant quote, like "This user will make a new world!", or something.

Achievements
 * Tamer Rank
 * "This user has beaten ."

Collection/Seen/Read
 * "This user has watched Digimon Adventure."
 * "This user has Digimon World 4."
 * etc.

Like/Dislike
 * "This user hates Digimon Data Squad."
 * "This user loves Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01."
 * etc.


 * Questions: How do we decide the number of edits that contribute to each level? Still, are all the others simply what people decide to choose as they like or is there a specific classification? What about Achievements? The only way one will know their Tamer's rank is if they play Digimon World games. Or can that be put as one wishes again? - Digi9346 10:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Everything in the personal section but Edit Count and Admin/Featured User would be by personal choice - it's sort of like the FFWiki's userbox groupings. For Edit, I'm thinking:


 * Digitama: 0-24
 * Fresh: 25
 * In-Training: 50
 * Rookie: 100
 * Champion: 250
 * Ultimate: 500
 * Mega: 1000
 * Super-Ultimate: 5000+
 * Maybe if anyone gets more than 5000, we can change this around, but so far Ned's the only one even close to 5000.
 * As for Edit Count, I'm also of the opinion that we should have something like "High edit count doesn't mean good edit count", with an Arkadimon (Fresh) picture, maybe eating Piedmon. If people want to spam minor edits, they better at least be contributory, or they will be blocked anyway.
 * Tamer Rank and similar achievements in the other Digimon World games would be based on honesty. I'm honestly not too familiar with games outside of Digimon World: Dawn and Dusk, because we play 4 as a family game, and Data Squad is too slow to stay interested in for long. But pretty much any real "achievement" could get a userbox.
 * Collection would also rely on honesty, but like/dislike is pure whimsy. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 23:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hm... FFWiki really does have a good example.


 * Well, I guess the editor's section is probably halfway to the solution already. But what about the personal section? I guess we should base all the Family, Species, Attribute, etc on an Avatar Digimon, kinda like my own VictoryGreymon. Or alternatively, we could consider having the user create his/her own Digimon and just put it up as the Avatar. The second bit should be thought of carefully though, as too many of these kinds of 'Digimon' can be disastrous. But it would allow users the freedom to choose whatever they wish to choose, like Family, Species, etc.


 * Still, I have seen some really chaotic spamming of the userboxes. It is also very hard to discern all these userboxes when they are all jumbled together. I think that the format you have introduced may be able to organise all the userboxes, like under Editor's Type we put all the userboxes relating to it there and other userboxes organised under different headings. However, I propose a template for the user page to organise them, kinda like the Digimon Infobox, mainly because that would probably make things easier for everyone, and we don't have to keep stopping by here to check how to put the userboxes. Then at the very least we can keep it all in a table of sorts and keep things standardised. - Digi9346 - Today, the Chosen shall fall. Tomorrow, the world... 11:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * YamatoOKatana has a nice little table set up that works best for userboxes of this type - the Editor stuff would work best in the normal sidebar, but anything like Collection or Profile that demands that all info be input would be better with table.


 * ...Idea! We make a copy of the Digimon and Character infobox as User Digimon and Character Digimon userboxes. Info can be input normally, but instead of putting the character in Category: Nightmare Soldiers, it would put them in Category: Nightmare Soldiers Users, or something named like that. Since the profile would essentially just be a personal infobox...we could do this, allow fanart profile images, not have to create three hundred userboxes for all the different types, and it would still have the categorization ability that userboxes do.


 * Collection and Achievements could still be a table format. So, we'd end up with something like


 * Sandbox, Todo---Infobox
 * Userboxes
 * RamblingUserboxes
 * PartnersUserboxes
 * Collection/Achievement--Userboxes

Or some similar type of thing - obviously, people could organize their pages as they wish, but it could work like this. Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  13:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Good idea. So all the Wiki relevant stuff we dump on the left, while all the others (like Personal) on the right, and perhaps leave the middle for the rambling instead. I doubt we can make enough userboxes for all kinds of rambling.


 * More to that, what about our so-called 'favourite Digimon'? As you can see, mine is... I don't need to say anything right? - Digi9346 - Today, the Chosen shall fall. Tomorrow, the world... 13:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The favourite Digimon would either be our profile Digimon, or if you'd rather, a "Partner Digimon". Mine's probably going to be DeathStarmon or his evolutions, once I get the profiles redone.[[Image:Koromon.png]] Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  14:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Right, but then who is going to make the userboxes in the first place? I think I will begin to input the format into my own userpage first, not to mention throw all those other 'favourite Digimon' to another page. I still need them... to a certain extent anyway. - Digi9346 - Today, the Chosen shall fall. Tomorrow, the world... 14:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Making them is simple - just copy the code from this one and change around the text. The trouble I have is with picking good color sets, since mine always seem to look illegible.
 * I'm not sure you would need to move your "favourite Digimon" section, since it's supposed to be your Partners, ala Digimon World (that's why I only have 6).[[Image:Koromon.png]] Not even Mr. Lister's  Koromon survived intact.  14:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I'll give it a go, see what I can do about it. But the transfer is already done... though I may rename it my DigiBank instead... and perhaps transfer some over to my 'party'...
 * But I just remembered one more set of userboxes... the Couplings one. That one will be as chaotic. - Digi9346 - Today, the Chosen shall fall. Tomorrow, the world... 14:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
