On Wikipedia, they have a crapload of userbox-related templates. They've got a {{Userbox}} template, for God's sake. They've even got a {{Userboxtop}} template, which we have. But I'm really concerned about the fact that it's hard to make a new userbox on Uncyclopedia. So we should have all the userboxes based on a transclusion of the {{Userbox}} template. Ex:

{{Userbox |id= |info=This is a userbox. }}

Something like that. Cute Zekrom! _{Use Fusion Bolt NOW!! • It's super effective!} 23:36, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea, I understand there was a restriction but can't be sure. Best ask an old timer like Zombiebaron why this is so. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 18:40, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

What restriction? Cute Zekrom! _{Use Fusion Bolt NOW!! • It's super effective!} 00:18, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Probably just something about not having individual userboxes in the main templatespace. I wouldn't worry about it. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 00:09, 7 March 2012

I've asked Zombiebaron for his thoughts. Pup 12:05 07 Mar '12

Maybe you can use Template:Message box for this purpose. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 00:07, 7 March 2012

This user likes sexy girls.

But wait, we do have a userbox template:

This user likes sexy girls.

And it doesn't seem too complicated to use. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 00:30, 7 March 2012

So does anyone have any objections to converting templates that don't use this into ones that do? Pup 09:36 08 Mar '12

O'course not!! -- Cute Zekrom! _{Use Fusion Bolt NOW!! • It's super effective!03:38 10 Mar '12}

What Zombiebaron thinks People asked me for my opinion on this. I think it is a good idea. We don't need separate templates for each individual userbox if the same effect can be accomplished with just one template. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 02:01, March 7, 2012 (UTC) Exactly! -- Cute Zekrom! Use Fusion Bolt NOW!! • It's super effective!02:08 10 Mar '12 We should do that for userpages. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 03:19, March 10, 2012 (UTC) Yeah. You know how to do the colored background with the userpages? -- Cute Zekrom! Use Fusion Bolt NOW!! • It's super effective! 23:22, March 10, 2012 (UTC) I have no idea.
