Wikipedia talk:User page design guide

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention.  Badbilltucker 19:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Featured user pages

message: Sorry if this has already been discussed, but perhaps someone could design an easily customisable template for new users? I certainly know I could use one! Something like where we can just enter our names/interests etc., it would give people a starting block from which to develop their pages. Elliot2005 17:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Templates

message: I created a template for wrapping user pages, but I just joined the project, and I'm not to sure where to put it, (or whether or not to place it here at all) so if anyone wants to put a link to it, the two templates (yes, two) are located here (user page) and here (user talk page). —Andrew Hampe Talk 20:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template I created 

message: I'm making my last improvements on my userpage. On the bottom of the page, there are two collapable bars which, when opened, reveals my other userboxes. The problem is that some of the userboxes don't have their rightful images on them, nor there is a link to the image (for example: compare  to how it is on my userpage). Is these a way to fix this, or is it just like that?  MITB LS 02:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Just thought i'd let you know about this, and some changes that have been proposed.
Basically, it says that we should only have one body, not several as we have at the moment, that deals with all the things found in that one, and all the rest.
