== Wikipedia Day Awards ==

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of [[Wikipedia:Esperanza|Esperanza's]] proposal for an appreciation week to end on [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Day|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.  [[User:Badbilltucker|Badbilltucker]] 19:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User Page Help/Content Advice/Other#Status changer]] ==

I'm following the instructions, and pasting Topaz's monobook.js page onto mine, but after purging my cache, nothing happens! There is ''no'' button after log out, and I don't understand what the problem is. Does anyone have this installed, so they can help me? Thanks. | [[User:AndonicO|<span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:black; font-size:x-small;">'''A'''</span><span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:DarkSlateGray;">ndonic</span><span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:black; font-size:x-small;">'''O'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:AndonicO|<span style="color:tan;">''Talk''</span>]] | [[User:AndonicO/My Autograph Book|<span style="color:tan;">''Sign Here''</span>]]</sup> 17:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, please comment [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk#List_of_best_user_pages here].  Thanks: --[[User:Sadi Carnot|Sadi Carnot]] 19:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

==Templates==

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. [[User:Elliot2005|Elliot2005]] 17:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

:[[Template:User infobox]] seems to be the template for you. Happy editing! — '''[[User:Sd31415|<span style="color:#4169E1; font-family:'verdana';">S.D.</span>]]''' 20:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

== Template I created ==

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 [[User:Andrew Hampe/Templates/User Wrapper|here (user page)]] and [[User:Andrew Hampe/Templates/User Talk Wrapper|here (user talk page)]]. —[[User:Andrew Hampe|Andrew Hampe]] <sup>[[User talk:Andrew Hampe|Talk]]</sup> 20:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

==...==
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 {{[[Template:User Vietnamese|User Vietnamese]]}} to how it is on my userpage). Is these a way to fix this, or is it just like that? {{small|It can be edited [[User:MITB LS/Info|HERE]].}} [[User:MITB LS|<span style="color:black;">'''MI'''</span>]]<span style="background:black">[[User talk:MITB LS|<span style="color:white;">'''TB'''</span>]]</span> [[Special:Contributions/MITB LS|<span style="color:black;">'''LS'''</span>]] 02:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

== List all userpage gadgets ==

How about making a list of all available userpage 'gadget'-templates, like [[User:Shardsofmetal/Clock|this nice clock]] and other calandar templates, [[Template:Vandalism information]], featured content, signpost, Tip of the day...  wiki-ads, Motto of the day etc. etc. To make it more easy for new users to choose and add these kind of things to their userpages.[[User:Freestyle nl|<span style="color:red">F</span><span style="color:blue">r</span><span style="color:red">e</span><span style="color:blue">e</span>]][[User talk:Freestyle nl|<span style="color:purple">style</span>]] 16:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

==Merge==
Should [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User Page Help/Help Desk]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User Page Help/Help Requests]] be merged?  The Help Desk gets 1 to 2 edits a month and only I and another user watch it on a regular basis.

Hello all,

Just thought i'd let you know about [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:StewieGriffin!/WikiDesign|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.

Thanks,
