Making a request
[edit]Got an idea for a userbox? Post it here! By clicking on the blue box below. Remember to sign off your name using four tildes ~~~~.
Userboxes that have already been created should be posted to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes/New Userboxes.
If you need help with the userboxes that you created go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes.
You might also contact a user directly, using the list of users who make userboxes upon request.
Request - August 17, 2026
[edit]Haven't been able to find: Userbox that takes a UserId (mine is UnitedStatesian) as a parameter and outputs "This user last edited on MM-DD-YYYY" based on my contribution history. Maybe a second param that flips the date format between that one and DD-MM-YYYY. UnitedStatesian (talk) 07:51, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if it is possible to retrieve user contributions like that. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 20:13, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
- I would assume it would require the ContributionScore extension. --DollarStoreBa'alConverse 13:01, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
- @DollarStoreBa'al can you tell me a little more about that extension, or point me to info about it? Thanks! UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:29, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- It's a server-side extension that the system admins would have to install wiki-wide, so you would have to reach out to the admins. Basically it tracks the number of edits and separate pages edited and converts it into a 'score', and allows you to do things with those numbers. Sorry for the bad news. --DollarStoreBa'alConverse 14:56, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

[edit]This user is interested in the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, with a picture of him. XenonMud (talk) 11:08, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

- Do I know why specifically you tagged me? No, I don't.
- Did I completely forget that this request even existed? Yep.
- Do I apologize for the long wait? Yes, I do.
- Am I going to work on this userbox and get it to you either today or tomorrow? Absolutely. --DollarStoreBa'alConverse 22:03, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Idea for Music-themed Userbox: "This user listens to Steely Dan."
Here's my current form:
 | This user listens to Steely Dan. |
The image used is freely usable as it contains no copyrightable elements, and if it ends up filing for deletion, then it can be replaced with an image of the two.

- Sorry, why are you posting here? This is for requests/suggestions. It seems you have... already made the userbox. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 04:14, 5 September 2026 (UTC)
- Ah, sorry. I wasn't entirely sure whether there was something else I was missing before putting it there, so I placed what I constructed using another userbox as a starting point. Thanks for letting me know. Crafts97 (talk) 21:22, 5 September 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, no worries. You may want to put things like that at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes in the future, that's more for general userbox things. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 21:28, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

[edit]For some reason, Wikipedia:WikiProject Squatting doesn’t have a user box, so, if a user box could be made that is:
- Black-and-white colored
- And has the text: “This user is a participant in WikiProject Squatting”
I would greatly appreciate it. 296cherry (talk) 23:32, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
