Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Userboxes standardization

The Userboxes Standardization project aims to standardize all of the most common userboxes into a single namespace. Of course, they will not be deleted from their current homes in various userspaces, but people using them in the future will get them from the standard namespace, making things much more organized. The standardized namespace is MCW:Userboxes/ub_category-ub_name (e.g. MCW:Userboxes/os-windows10), but the userbox templates may be moved to Template:User ub_name (e.g. Template:User os-windows10) for easier typing.

Of course, the original authors of the userboxes will still be credited via a new column on the userboxes page, but the userboxes themselves will no longer be held in the userspaces. This will make adding them much more efficient and simpler, as well as making the entire thing more organized.

Other side goals are listed in the Todo.
