When used, this template can interfere with the interface by overrunning other elements, such as the control bars. — xaosflux Talk 02:13, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. This user box, which uses zalgo text, absolutely violates WP:SMI. We do not allow any kind of code, content, characters, styles, scripts, or other kinds of data that causes interference with the MediaWiki interface, or the page's content, links, or their normal purposes. This text overwrites the interface, other content and links, and is really just a nuisance that doesn't belong here. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:33, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Purely disruptive and wildly outside Wikipedia's purpose. Johnuniq (talk) 03:30, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: Somewhat surprised that an admin has not heard of this thing called WP:G2 and WP:G3,(joke) which clearly applies here...(not a joke) (speedy delete if it wasn't clear enough) RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 03:40, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- G2 clearly doesn't apply as the page is in the creater's userspace. And I doubt I could call this page blatant vandalism. 93.172.232.172 (talk) 06:04, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Userboxen should not be used for disruptive text that breaks the interface of a page. Hog Farm Talk 03:42, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. The text in the userbox obstructs the MFD banner, which is a violation of SMI. ~ Matthewrb Talk to me · Changes I've made 05:56, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, these sorts of characters can also disrupt screen readers like the one I use (see this technical village pump thread I started). This example doesn't have much effect on my computer unlike the one cited in that thread (because the latter example had much more text), but it still makes absolutely no sense to me and I definitely don't think it should be a userbox.

- Graham87 - Thanks for the link to that discussion. Those two revisions on that user page are now RD3'd. ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:08, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
