Well, I don't know if many of you know what userboxes are, or even do anything with your userpage. But I've been setting up a new userbox system (ie: one with better standards in how to setup the userboxes) and sometime later I'll devise a bot which will copy all the userboxes over to all the Wikia Anime Project wiki. You can find the information about userboxes at Anime:Project:Userboxes, there is also a link to a listing of all currently existant userboxes (Currently 3, with enough options to count up over 15).

- Well there are 2 things wrong. First you used {{User Anime|<N>|<all>|mode=<Mode>}}, you should read the explanation instead of just copying the usage. that box would have said something like This user is an Otaku for the Anime all. You only specify an anime parameter when you want the template to refer to a specific anime. And the mode= parameter shouldn't be there, it's part of the usage to show that it exists, you don't always use all the options available, mode is passed to another template which allows for extra special options, currently just fill-horiz, fill-vert, or fill-both which allow the userbox to expand to fill up a area instead of being at a fixed size. You only needed {{User Anime|<N>}}, Anime:Project:Userboxes/listing gives a good listing with examples, you only really need to copy what's on the left for what you want to do. Secondly as I said, I'm going to devise a bot to copy all the userboxes to all the wikia in the project. That is all on the Animepedia, none of those templates are here yet. Once the bot is finished userboxes can be used here, as long as I run the bot whenever the userboxes are updated there. Dantman (Talk) 01:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
The Bot is now done. It dosen't have functionality to delete pages when they shouldn't be in the categorys but it is planned for the future, so all userboxes should be created on the Animepedia only. But userboxes can be used here now. Though since the ImageMirrorBot isn't complete yet some images may be missing in userboxes. Dantman (Talk) 20:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
