Ok, I agree. We got Judo and we got Karate. Where's Taekwondo?! Spyco 05:08, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go :) Although there are belts and a federation, I thought some users may want a simple "taekwondo practitioner" box with a category already included. Pundit|utter 00:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This user practices taekwondo.

Added Navigation[edit]

I just added the "WikiProject Userboxes" box at the bottom that seemed to be on every other section...

I'm new to Wikipedia, so if I did something incorrectly, please correct me :)

Where's the new XC-Skiing user box now?[edit]

Yesterday there was a new XC-Skiing user box listed in "Snow Sports". As of this morning, it's gone.

I put it on my page yesterday, but I doubt it lasted more than 30 hours or so.

Anyone know what happened to the new box? Can it be restored?

By the way, XC-Skiing is different from regular ("downhill") skiing, so there was no redundancy. Joel Russ 19:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

bicyclist userbox glitch?[edit]

What's up with {{User:UBX/Bicyclist}} suddenly generating my username at the right-hand margin? DanB DanD 20:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scuba Diving[edit]

Im padi proffessional but the link is broken. Ne1 mind fixing it?

How about bocce? Can someone make a User Box?[edit]

I just played another game of bocce a few days ago. Much fun. I got exposed to it as a kid. And quite similar to a French precision ball game I've played locally, too. Would someone make a User Box, please. Joel Russ 13:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kaka fans userboxes/ How about boxes for players?[edit]

KakáThis user is a fan of Kaká.

Curling userbox[edit]

How come there's no curling userbox? That game is just awesome! Vivi Sparrow 20:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hockey[edit]

The box for hockey automatically refers to ice hockey (very US-orientated) and also there is no box for hockey (field hockey to the yanks). SheffGruff 23:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Netball Userboxes[edit]

Can someone please create some Netball userboxes. Glamgirljaspreet101 (talk) 00:23, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Make your own! They are easy to create - easy to follow instructions are available at Wikipedia:Userboxes#Designing_a_userbox - Ahunt (talk) 00:35, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you create a user box?[edit]

If so, how? Oohoui1123 (talk) 22:11, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fantasy sports[edit]

Do we have userboxes for fantasy sports practicioners? I'd create one if there aren't. –Howard the Duck 07:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have never seen any, but then perhaps I am not completely sure what you are referring to? Can you give an example or two? - Ahunt (talk) 11:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Like "This user is a fantasy <sport> practitioner" or something to that effect. I could swear I saw one but I dunno where. –Howard the Duck 16:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am still not completely following you. Are these sports that are made up, like 63-man Squamish, or is the individual just imagining that he is, for instance, an ice hockey player when he isn't? - Ahunt (talk) 16:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
See this. –Howard the Duck 18:15, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks for the explanation! I can't find any userboxes for that. I would suggest that since these are more computer simulations rather than actual sports that if you do make any boxes they should probably be listed at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Games. - Ahunt (talk) 20:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is a great idea. Were they ever created? - Micah008 (talk) 20:04, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No they weren't! - Ahunt (talk) 20:45, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I will make one, and add it to Wikipedia:Userboxes/Games. - Micah008 (talk) 20:53, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I added it to Wikipedia:Userboxes/Games/Video games in the Sports section. What do you think? Is there a better spot for it? - Micah008 (talk) 21:00, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. - Ahunt (talk) 22:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Positions[edit]

It would be create to have some userboxes for sports positions. Here is an example:

CFThis user's football position is Centre forward.
CMThis user's football position is Centre midfield.
CBThis user's football position is Centre back.
GKThis user's football position is Goalkeeper.

Users will have the ability to express their position or role in a team and sport. - Lord Shivan (talk) 19:47, 24 January 2009

Sounds like a good idea! - Ahunt (talk) 13:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, I was thinking about creating a subpage for this, but I want to get more confirmation from other people. I am currently making some userboxes for cricket fielding/batting/bowling roles/positions. Lord Shivan (talk) 21:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest: put them on this page and if they really get to be a long list then we can move them to a separate page. - Ahunt (talk) 21:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed and thanks. - Lord Shivan (talk) 03:04, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help please...[edit]

I created two new userboxes and i put links to them on my userpage. can someone put them on the sports userbox page, or show me how to do it?

Olympics userboxes[edit]

I was very surprised there was not a single Olympic userbox or a "This user went to such and such an Olympic Games" type userbox...if somebody could make a few of that type, that'd be great, esepecially a "This user attended the 2010 Vancouver Olympics userbox!

RedSoxFan274 (talk) 01:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]



Never mind that request, made a few myself.

Roller Derby[edit]

Haven't seen any decent Roller derby related boxes, so I made a pretty simple one here.

Roller DerbyThis user thinks roller derby is awesome.

Add Uechi karate boxes to martial arts section[edit]

I've created three userboxes for Uechi ryu karate, and I wanted to get an okay to put them under the martial arts section.

This user is a
0 dan Uechi-ryu karateka.
This user is a
0 kyu Uechi-ryu karateka.
This user practices the art of
Uechi-ryu karate.

Sure just go ahead and do so. Drop a note here if the formatting gives you any problems! - Ahunt (talk) 01:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Baseball Fan Userboxes?[edit]

Are there any userboxes for fans of baseball, MLB, or specific teams? Allen (talk) 10:46, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You would think there would be, but I haven't found any. - Ahunt (talk) 13:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For baseball team userboxes, you will be wanting the subpage WP:Userboxes/Sports/Baseball.

Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded[edit]

Is anything being done regarding this? The templates from "Water sports" onwards can't be seen because of this. starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 11:57, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What we have done in the past is split the page into two or more pages which solves the problem. If you need help doing that let me know and I can do it. - Ahunt (talk) 15:13, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done split to WP:UBX/BALL and WP:UBX/WATER. - Ahunt (talk) 01:17, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

American Football? (NFL)[edit]

Am I completely missing it, or are there no userboxes for American Football? Vyselink (talk) 04:10, 2 February 2015 (UTC) NVM. I found it. Vyselink (talk) 04:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
