I honestly think the "This user is a friend of __________" userboxes should be deleted. Our policy clearly states all userboxes are to be series-relevant. I suppose that would mean deleting the "Humorous" userboxes, but that's a different kettle of worms. The verdict? Delete the friend userboxes and their respective categories. It's not that hard for someone to just make a friends list or a colorful little table displaying friends like mine. That's how I feel, anyways. - <span>[[User:EternalNothingnessXIII|<font color="black">'''Eternal'''</font>]][[User talk:EternalNothingnessXIII|<font color="darkred">'''Nothingness'''</font>]][[User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Jukebox|<font color="dimgray">'''XIII'''</font>]]</span> 20:27, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Why argue over such a silly little matter? Honestly you guys should just leave the userboxes be and get back to work on what really matters on the wiki.[[User:Mikazuki Heart|Mikazuki Heart]]

:Indeed. I really don't see why the friend userboxes are so bad for the wiki, so stop worrying about that and do something that is actually useful for the wiki. - [[User:LevL|<span style="color:orange">'''Lev'''</span>]][[User talk:LevL|<span style="color:deepskyblue">'''L'''</span>]] 16:55, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

:''I'' have a Friend Userbox. But the essence is that I refrain from being a WikiPrincess. Most, if not all the regulars, do it. Yes, I'm able to point out the exceptions. If the socialising bit is getting too out of hand, we take out the categories, but keep the boxes. People have been able to express themselves over the whole thing, and where that alone is concerned, we leave it be. And by the way, FB is a drag. My social network of preference is Twitter. :P {{User:Troisnyxetienne/Signature}} 02:09, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

::Friend categories are going to be removed. As for userboxes, we should be limiting whichever goes to templatespace by the series. We are the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki after all. This should also include the parody userboxes. Whichever that goes to a more personal level, like the friend userboxes, are to be hosted on the userspace, this doesn't apply to a wikiwide general info userbox like "This user is male" or "This user speaks Russian". I would like everyone to comply on this.

Just for clarification, as to what you're proposing then, Bluer:
#Standard (gender/browser/language) and ''Kingdom Hearts'' related-boxes remain in the main space.
#Parodies and Friends would be moved into Userspace.
#Completely non-''Kingdom Hearts'' boxes would be hosted directly on a page, with any pictures Photobucketed or the like (such as the ones on my user page). {{User:BebopKate/Sig}} 03:39, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
:Because in the end, what we're aiming for is for the wikia to be Kingdom Hearts-centric. Remember, we even got very strict with user images. Standard (gender/browser/language) and ''Kingdom Hearts'' related-boxes remain in the templatespace. Parodies and Friends would be moved into Userspace, under the user who created it, same goes for completely KH irrelevant boxes, or maybe this should be under case to case basis.

::If this will be applied to all non-work userboxes, then that seems fine. However, the categories need to remain. They do no harm, and it is asking too much of the creators to either recode all of them, or make it too difficult for readers to use the userboxes as they were intended.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 14:01, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
:::Yeeeeeeea-no, the categories need not remain. ''Some'' users might need them, but not the wiki as a whole.

:::::So we don't have too many categories, could we perhaps compromise between Wikia and the concerns above and have a single category along the line of "WikiFriends?"  The parody ones kind of work under this method now, with a Miscellaneous Category, so you can at least see who has a parody box.  That way, there's at least a way to see who has linked friend userboxes, even if we don't get more specific. {{User:BebopKate/Sig}} 03:58, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Wait a minute... you mean as in create a separate page for Userboxes/WikiFriends ? I might be wrong... {{User:Troisnyxetienne/Signature}} 08:27, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
