{{ErryTalk|time=03:31, February 3, 2011 (UTC)|saix=I don't see a problem, with enforcing the 1 user, 1 template rule, I have about 6 on my page and it's going much better than having to go through various templates to find the right talk box. However, I think that images should be 3 maximum when hosted on the wiki. If they're private hosting, then it shouldn't matter at all, unless it's starting to get out of hand where they take wiki-hosted images and use them via private hosting, [[Template:ErryTalk|my template]] uses 4 private-hosted custom image talkboxes, it shouldn't be a problem if I add a few more like 2 or 3.}} | {{ErryTalk|time=03:31, February 3, 2011 (UTC)|saix=I don't see a problem, with enforcing the 1 user, 1 template rule, I have about 6 on my page and it's going much better than having to go through various templates to find the right talk box.

{{EO|time=03:58, February 3, 2011 (UTC)|text=I do not mind allowing one talkbox template page per user. That was one of the original rules I always followed. In terms of the fan-made images, taking a ''Kingdom Hearts'' render and converting it into a talk bubble sprite technically doesn't break the policy. When you're making duplicates of an image or images that are relatively similar (see all the Terra images on the Wiki used for talk bubbles), then those should be deleted. A Perry the Platypus or Naruto talk bubble sprite, however, does break the policy since it has nothing to do with ''Kingdom Hearts'' or Square Enix to begin with. Thus, those types of images should be deleted unless, as we initially agreed, they are hosted on Photobucket or another image source. | |||
In terms of image sizes for talk bubbles, 70px has been our default for the ''Days'' sprites, but several users such as Xiggie have created their own version of a talk bubble template that gets around that, and we have been fine with that for ages. Deleting Xiggie's template would be a cruelty to the Wiki, since so many users here use Xiggie's version of the template rather than the TalkText template. But for certain images, similar to the problem that arose during our signature forum, 70px makes them almost unidentifiable. I'm not saying put 100px images in your template, but you have to put yourself in other users' shoes at some points. | |||
Users should always have their usernames in their talk bubbles. Having a username of "ILUVAxel" but putting "131842" in your talk bubble '''should not be allowed'''. It's not trying to limit a user's freedom. It's simply trying to make navigation easier for a majority of the community. Sorcerer Nobody actually listed a few options I see no harm in going with for this matter.}} | |||
