message: Is it possible to standardize the user boxes to conform to the postal codes? Neocapitalist 19:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume you are speaking of the state postal abbreviations (TX for Texas, NY for New York)?  I think there might be too much collision with the language codes to make that work. 1001001 09:02, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah exactly.  Only language userboxes are meant to have the structure .   Deano (Talk) 17:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that some of the state userboxes direct to the state page (see ).  Others direct to the Category:Wikipedians_in_xxxxx (see )  Which is preferred?  1001001 07:48, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The visible link in the box should be to the state page, such as This user lives in New Jersey, but there is often an invisible category link whereby using the template automatically adds you to the Wikipedians from New Jersey category (or whatever).  The link for this cat will then appear with all other cats at the bottom of the page.   Deano (Talk) 19:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Textbox directs to Where? 

message: Suggest changing wording of most, if not all, of the templates in this page to read "This user is from.." instead of "This user lives in" to allow for more versatility in usage.
For example, I currently live in Germany, but I'm from Texas - but I can't use the Texas template because it says "This user lives in Texas".
Or are these templates not meant to reference origin, only current location?  TKarrde 10:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it permissable & possible to take the image of an existing userbox in one language's wikipedia (e.g. en) and either link (how?) or rather down- & re-upload it in another language Wikipedia (e.g., de)? 
Users may want to say they're from some weird planet or elsewhere, and the proper image already exists in en but not in de, fr, etc. - Would save a lot of time! --Carboxen 22:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: You can add it to the Wikipedia:Userboxes/Location/United States page.  Have you put this userbox into a template or do you just have the raw code? Nationalparks 03:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

message: There is some garbled/random text at the bottom of the page from the 7th that needs to be replaced with whatever was there originally! Elium2 (talk) 22:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you talking about all of the "usbk" dead links at the bottom of the page? I noticed that too. I opened up the edit box, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it, since they don't show up in the editor. There's also a couple of these "usbk" dead links at the bottom of a couple of the sub-categories on the page, as well as a couple of "usbkbottom" dead links. It's sure dumb-looking, and definitely needs cleaning up. I just don't know how to do it myself. --Saukkomies talk  14:52, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
