message: Why is the ravenclaw emblem not shown in the Ravenclaw userbox? I thinks we need it.
:Because it falls under fair use, and just serving to prettify our userboxes does not constitute fair use. —Nightstallion (?) Seen this already? 15:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but there are non-copyright images that could serve better. Picture of a raven, perhaps? Fan-made public domain logo?-Zyrath (talk) 03:07, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Harry Potter: Ravenclaw 

message: I'd like to know how come we have "This user enjoys reading..." tags for science fiction, mystery, humor, thrillers, legal thrillers, poetry, romance and even short stories, as well as a number of fantasy authors' works, such as Harry Potter and Discworld and Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia...
...but no straightforward "This user enjoys reading Fantasy." tag, let alone a more inclusive "Speculative Fiction" tag (I'd settle for Speculative Fiction, that I would, since I already also am using the sci-fi tag, but just... it seems WEIRD not to have a fantasy one, doesn't it?). This looks like a job for... somebody who knows who to actually create a cat/tag for fantasy readers! (I have no idea how to do that, myself). Any takers? Runa27 09:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd be happy to make one when I have time, as I am in dire need of it myself. I will leave you a message with its link once it is completed.   --Earthsprite 22:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Sci-fi, but no Fantasy or "Speculative Fiction"?

message: This user likes Lafcadio Hearn and enjoys reading about stories and studies of strange things.  Can somebody make this please?  Merlin Storm 04:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like to have a userbox for Author Neil Gaiman. Or is this somehting I should develop?--eipipuz 22:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just take a userbox, copy the code, and modify it so that it's the way you like it. You might want to make it in your userspace though. You could risk putting it in template space though. -Royalguard11(Talk)(Desk) 19:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm glad my geofiction userbox was listed, but it's more of a hobby than a literature genre. --Gray Porpoise 00:29, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have created a few userboxes for BookCrossing (links available on my user page.) Would it be appropriate to list them here under Reading, in a separate section, or would a different userbox index be more appropriate? TechBear 05:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  BookCrossing userboxes? 

message: There are userboxes indicating one's favorite character in Eragon, but no userbox to state that one is a fan of Eragon. This does not make sense, and I would like the corresponding userbox added.-Zyrath (talk) 16:51, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eragon 

message: Could we make userboxes related to Bizarro fiction? Is it a way to advertise books in that literary genre? --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 06:04, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bizarro Fiction 

message: There are some serious formatting issues in the section The Lord of the Rings and related books and all sections after that. At a guess, the issue seems to be flaws in the transcluded boxes, but I can't pinpoint anything. Help would be appreciated. TechBear | Talk | Contributions 14:29, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe there are just too many on the page and the content needs to be divided into multiple pages. Perhaps Books and book series could be moved to a separate page? It's the largest section, so that seems the most obvious choice to me. I'm not familiar with Wikipedia practices for this; do we need some sort of consensus in the discussion, or can I just make a new page myself and move the content? - Kylara (talk) 21:29, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Serious formatting issues 

message: It's not clear why all the authors for which there is a userbox on this page aren't listed in the table of contents by name. Why on earth is Jane Austen under "Miscellaneous authors"? It's like discrimination or something. And so, unless there are any strong objections, I was going to go about organizing this here... Ender and Peter 22:46, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
