Template:User Jupiter (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)​

Ten years ago, a troll complete changed the meaning of this userbox, so its usefullness is questionable. Janhrach (talk) 17:53, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I assume the nominator is referring to this edit by User:Spc10K in February 2015, which changed the wording from "This user is a member of Taskforce Jupiter" to "This user is from Jupiter". SK2242 (talk) 06:52, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes. Janhrach (talk) 14:45, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - No need to restore to original usage before vandalism. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:14, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Robert McClenon: This wasn't vandalism. It was borderline-good-faith highjacking which produced an outcome that isn't exclusively bad, as it added a legitimate (khm...) item to the "User [celestial body]" series of userboxes (... which, yes, was mostly created by the same user, but not entirely, because Template:User Venus and a few similar templates had already been in existence; these templates are in the Category:Extraterrestrial nationality user templates). —Alalch E. 12:03, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: As the one with Mercury, it's just an humorous userbox that does not make any harm. Cambalachero (talk) 00:32, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• This userbox was hijacked to cause it to become a member of the "User [celestial body]" series userboxes, alongside the preexisting Template:User Venus. (Template:User TF Jupiter was subsequently created by copying the original version of the userbox to fill its role.) The hijacker also expanded the series with templates such as Template:User Titan. Most transcluders actually use it in this sense; about them:
  • @User:Carnival200 (active): Hello! You have this userbox on your user page. You probably want to say that you are from Jupiter, correct?
  • User:Ashing430 (inactive): It is obvious that they want to say that they are from Jupiter, in the context of their userpage, which also says that they are from Mercury, etc.
  • User:Epiccomg (inactive): It is obvious that she wants to say that she is from Jupiter, in the context of her userpage, which also says that she is "currently not on Planet Earth", etc.
  • User:Lylahearts (inactive): It is not entirely obvious that she wants to say that she is from Jupiter, in the context of her userpage, which is more serious in what is being stated, and she also says that she is interested in astronomy; however, there are more templates from the "User [celestial body]" series. It is much more likely that the user is saying that she is from Jupiter, Titan, etc.
  • @User:Awesomewiki64 (semi-active): Hello! You have this userbox on your user page. You probably want to say that you are from Jupiter, correct?
  • User:Ninney (inactive): It is obvious that he wants to say that he participates in the Taskforce Jupiter, from the context of his pretty serious user page, which states that he is a member of the Mars task force, etc.
  • User:Markerqueen (inactive): From the totality of the circumstances, it is 100% certain that this user wanted to state that she participates in the Taskforce Jupiter
  • User:Thor Dockweiler (inactive): It is obvious that he wants to say that he participates in the Taskforce Jupiter, from the context of his pretty serious user page, which states that he is a member the Astronomy WikiProject, participant in the Constellations task force, etc.
  • @User:37ophiuchi (active): Hello! You have this userbox on your user page. You probably want to say that you participate in the Taskforce Jupiter, correct? Update: This user removed the userbox in the meantime.
• Keep and replace it with {{User TF Jupiter}} on the userpages of Ninney, Markerqueen, and Thor Dockweiler. Awesomewiki64 and 37ophiuchi probably do not need other editors changing their page, and they have been alerted.—Alalch E. 13:25, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
