1174:(i.e. he's not suggesting it), and the second one is just a little bit of explanation of how the Germans did it. The section under that clarifies the issue: "Examples include those related to claiming professional or academic expertise, WikiProject affiliations, and claiming access to specialized resources and a willingness to conduct research using them upon request. Templates for these userboxes could stay in template or project space. Controversial and unencyclopedic userbox templates should be moved to user space." This list of examples doesn't explicitly say anything like "browser" or the such, but I think it's fairly obvious that, if one takes them in good faith, they lie within the general idea of "useful information about the user".

737:. When you get the chance, can you get your bot on bypassing the redirects? All the boxes used to start with "NCAA" and now start with "User:Z4ns4tsu/Userboxes/NCAA" as far as I know. If it makes a difference, some of them do have options and things as well. Let me know if you need more info or have any questions. Thanks!

seeing the left box! Although I see the point of migrating boxes in the general space across to userspace (esp. where they are very specific or esoteric), you can hardly blame people who had perfectly ok boxes before, that now have the mess as seen on the left. That's like blaming the guy who parks
1169:
Sorry for thinking you were the one who was migrating the boxes. (The fact that someone migrated a box and left the task of changing the links to someone else is even more of an annoyance.) However, the snipplets you cited on my talk page don't seem to contradict the fact that the migration on the

Hi there - your lovely bot dropped by my page and has done something odd with a couple of my userboxes. Now...I am only an occasional wikipedian, but I chose those boxes to reflect my own personal twist here. Now they are, well...useless. Please either restore them or tell me (in detail, I have NO

1205:
There appears to have been a mistake on the part of the person who migrated those boxes (check the previously-linked section on the talk page of WP:UM); you may wish to stop in case the boxes should be migrated back to their original location.

Comment:Some of the userboxes have already migrated, the bot is only fixing them by linking where the userboxes
Templates migrated to, I agree that non controversial userboxes shouldn't be moved, but I think you complaning to the wrong person.

That's why I suggested you include curly brackets for a bot. Your biggest problem probably will be to get the Babel box links that use pipes while ignoring regular link pipes. At the very least, please add the standard directory

To fix that complaint, can you flag all these as minor? As for flagging them as automated bot, how fast will your bot need to edit to keep up with it's tasks? (If it's more than 2-3/min we should flag it.) Thanks, —
657:
thanks for the reply...well, it took me a while just to find the right boxes and i found them on a specific page that lists them alongside their codes, so i had no idea where the boxes originally come from.
242:
All you have to do is add more find and replace criteria something like these. I don't add brackets for more hits, but you might want to add them to a bot for fewer false positives.
166:
and others like it, I'd like to know if you are ignoring links. I consider such a "repair" incomplete, since it will leave a red link as soon as Cyde deletes the original template.

i just have a pet peeve of keeping everything as neat as possible, and your bot messed up my page's history with the overly-long comments for each of the edits it made...

Ok, nevermind, I'm apparently clueless as to what's been going on with these boxes. If Cide could look into it, I know he has a lot more experience with this than I do.

I have been going through old deletedpages, and one way would be to put them in a category that the bot goes through and removes items whereever they are transcluded. —
