Can Someone create a user box for the following schools, Western Illinois University, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, Blackhawk College, and Roosevelt University? IlliniGradResearch ( talk) 05:39, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
I was surprised that among all these userboxes, none exists for members of groups of schools, e.g. "This user is a member of the Ivy League", or "This user is a member of NESCAC", or whatever. What do you think? 68.38.100.103 ( talk) 16:26, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Um, hi. I didn't graduate university, so I added a box for people like me, the "School of Hard Knocks" (that's probably an Americanism, but widely understood in America to mean no college degree). I don't know if its OK to just add a userbox here unilatererally, so if not, sorry, go ahead and remove. Herostratus 10:39, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Any ideas? evrik 20:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I've got a thought, Why Don't we move this page somewhere where it is a little more pretty. First thing, the sketchy geographic separations, it's a bit confusing. I kind of like the idea of separating schools by state with different links on this page, or how about by Athletic Conference? Let me know what you all think

The wikitable class assumes that you want lines between all of the cells, which means that you end up with phantom gray lines within the userboxes (at least on my browser). I am working on a way to re-do the formatting that gets rid of them, so you can see the true look of the userboxes. However, I haven't got a clue how to make a CSS, which seems to be the preferred way to handle this. If anybody has an idea, please let me know. In the meantime, I will work out a manual style system to get the job done. NThurston 15:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the "alternate" version for SUNY Albany. I highly recommend that we keep just one userbox per school on this page for now, especially with the current formatting. In any case, here is the one that I removed: University of Albany {{ user UAlbany2}} NThurston 18:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
UA | This user attends or attended SUNY Albany. |
I'm an undergrad student at the University of North Carolina at Asheville and would greatly appriciate if UNCA were to be added to the userboxes list Dr Denim 00:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
What? Doesn't anybody attend high school anymore. What about us people who didn't bother with college? -- Jason Palpatine 03:24, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Due to potential volume issues, I would like to keep this as a college/university page. I will be moving any high school templates that appear to a new sub-article for High Schools. -- NThurston 13:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
But can't quite seem to get it in the table so it looks like the others. I didn't realize I didn't have to use the German userbox solution, so it's on a user subpage. Could someone add it to the table for me?

OK. Will do. -- NThurston 20:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I created a userbox for Auburn University but after reading all the pages discussing how to save them on Wikipedia, I am thoroughly confused. Save them in user space? Name space? as a template? I can't figure it out. If somebody would let me know, or just take the time to do it correctly, I'd appreciate it. The userbox could be found on my personal sandbox. AuburnPilot 21:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Since only one userbox per university is allowed here, I'm proposing replacement of the current userbox, because:
Current userbox | Proposed new userbox | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|

-- NThurston
Is the page too long now? Which of the following options would help:
I have redone all of the UC userboxes (except for UC San Diego's, which seems to be someone else's show, and UC Merced's, which no one uses) in the campuses' official "identity standards palette" colors and with a common layout. If anyone wants to dig up UCM's identity-standards documentation and redo the colors for its userbox, you are more than welcome. I already put it in the standard UC format; all you have to do is plug in the color codes. -- Dynaflow 11:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I hate to nitpick, but is there any way we can switch the University of Tulsa's userbox to say University of Tulsa instead of Tulsa University? Strangely enough, TU is the acceptable shorthand but University of Tulsa is the acceptable longhand. I've never completely understood why. matt91486 06:03, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
I've created a box for Blinn College in Texas.
{{ User Blinn}}
I tried to add it to the list, but I can't seem to quite get the table right and the Optional Parameters keeps looking off, so can someone with a better understanding of this page add it? AnmaFinotera 14:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I tried to create a UBX for Centenary affiliates, but I have no idea how to make it usable i.e. others can put {{User centenary}} and add it to their page.
11:41 PM CST, 6 December 2007
Howdy! I've created: User:Generic248/UBX/EMU
I orginally had this UBX under (User EMU) but I'm unsure if I should include this UBX within my User page (User:Generic248/UBX/EMU) or under (User EMU)? Suggestions?

Hi there: I'm wondering what to do about divisions of schools. I do not mean academic departments, or even the Tech Institute at Northwestern, but more like The Wharton School or Eastman or something. Anything that's a noted school on its own terms but that is actually part of a larger entity, the way Wharton is part of Penn or Eastman is part of the University of Rochester. Any thoughts? -- Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 15:01, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
"Please limit listing to one userbox per school." I believe allowing the boxes like Wharton could lead us down a slippery slope...imagine having at least ten boxes per school (school of medicine, school of law, school of business, school of social work, graduate school of biomedical sciences, school of engineering, etc. etc. etc.). At what point does it get ridiculous? The best answer probably is to have one per institution

From reading the page, it looks like I can't toggle the text in my userbox between "attends" or "attended." So if I wanted people to know that "this user attends university X" (which is a huge difference, because it implies you can meet me on campus), I'd have to make a userbox for that from scratch? JD Caselaw ( talk) 23:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
I just created the box for The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The color is not the correct shade of red...if anyone wants to touch it up in *any* way, please feel free to. This link may give good info on the coloring... http://www.umdnj.edu/umcweb/logoweb/visual_guide.htm Virsingh ( talk) 21:26, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
I would appreciate assistance in adding two userboxes I created:
CSUS | This user attended California State University, Sacramento. |
This user attended AMEDD Center & School. |
Thank you in advanced and let me know if there is anything I can do to speed this process along. -- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 18:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
The webmaster for Hampden-Sydney College has created a user box with the following link:
/info/en/?search=User:Hampden_Sydney
I would be grateful, as would the school, if any required tweaks can be made for this. Thanks. Hoppyh ( talk) 20:10, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
