Line 1: This page is a collection ofinformation and discussion on '''talkboxes''', small colored talk bubbles designed to be used when leaving messages on [[help:talk page\|talk pages]] as a way to ~~distinguishes~~distinguish users messages from others. You are free to make your own ~~and add them here~~. If you cannot, then you can leave a request on the [[project talk:Talkboxes\|talk page]]. == How to ~~make~~create a talkbox== #The first step is to look over the [[Template:User talk bubble#Usage\|Usage section]] and [[Template:User talk bubble#Example\|Example section]] of {{t\|User talk bubble}}. This is the code you'll need to use to make a talkbox. #Copy the code from {{t\|User talk bubble}} and fill in the fields to create your talkbox. ~~#Next, create a template (a page in the Template: namespace; see [[Help:Namespace]] for more info) with the name of the talkbox. Names of talkboxes are generally short.~~ ~~#You can now start to make a talkbox. Copy the code from {{t\|User talk bubble}} and paste it in the new talkbox you're making. You can then fill in the fields to create your talkbox.~~ <pre> {{User talk bubble \|image = \|color = \|color2 = \|textcolor = \|textcolor2 = \|line = \|fonttype = \|name = \|sig = \|time = {{{time}}} \|text = {{{text}}} }} </pre> ;How to get an image ~~==Easier Way==~~ # Select an image from the [[:Category:Talkbox images\|talkbox images]] or any on the [[Special:ListFiles\|site]]. The preferred size for an image is 50x59. You can change the size of an image using an image editing tool or site (such as Picnik, Photoshop, Paint.NET, etc.) # Copy the name the title of the page after "File:" and paste it after <code>\|image= </code>. Ex. <code>\|image= Alexander Goth-SE.jpg</code> ==How to make a talkbox reusable == ~~Copy this code:~~ #Create a template (a page in the Template: namespace; see [[Help:Namespace]] for more info) with the name of the talkbox. Names of talkboxes are generally short. #Copy the code from {{t\|User talk bubble}} and paste it in the new talkbox you're making. You can then fill in the fields to create your talkbox. ~~{{TalkTextTest2~~ ~~\|imageH=Unknown~~ ~~\|colorH= Unknown~~ ~~\|color2H= Unknown~~ ~~\|textcolorH= Unknown~~ ~~\|textcolor2H= Unknown~~ ~~\|lineH= firebrick~~ ~~\|fonttypeH=Unknown~~ ~~\|nameH=Unknown~~ ~~\|sigH=Unknown~~ ~~\|timeH=Unknown~~ ~~\|textH={{{text}}}~~ Once you have filled in the fields, your word bubble is ready to be used. On talk pages, you can now include it with this code: <pre> {{<name of template> \|time = ~~~~~ \|text = Blah blah blah. }} </pre> Get rid of the spaces (ex. get rid of the spaces between the lines.), get rid of the H's after the words (i.e. \|imageH would turn into \|image), and fill in all the missing information (all the "unknown"s). ~~'''How To Get An Image'''~~ ~~#Go to the page with the talkbox images and click on one you like.~~ ~~#Scroll down to the bottom of the picture where it will have the name of the picture~~ ~~(i.e. No higher resolution available.~~ ~~Alexander_Goth-SE.jpg‎ (363 × 442 pixels, file size: 230 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg))~~ ~~#Copy the name~~ ~~(i.e. Alexander_Goth-SE.jpg)‎~~ ~~#Paste it into the field that says~~ ~~\|image=~~ ~~Voila! You now have a image for your very own talkbox!~~ == List of talkbox images == ===Official images=== <gallery widths="120" captionalign="left"> File:Beau Broke-icon.png\|Beau Broke File:Bella Goth-icon.png\|Bella Goth File:Cassandra Goth-icon.png\|Cassandra Goth File:Consort Capp-icon.png\|Consort Capp File:Daniel Pleasant-icon.png\|Daniel Pleasant File:Dustin Broke-icon.png\|Dustin Broke File:General Buzz Grunt-icon.png\|General Buzz Grunt File:Jill Smith-icon.png\|Jill Smith File:Juliette Capp-icon.png\|Juliette Capp File:Lilith Pleasant-icon.png\|Lilith Pleasant File:Loki Beaker-icon.png\|Loki Beaker File:Mercutio Monty-icon.png\|Mercutio Monty File:Nervous Subject-icon.png\|Nervous Subject File:Oberon Summerdream-icon.png\|Oberon Summerdream File:Pollination Technician 9-icon.png\|Pollination Technician 9 File:Puck Summerdream-icon.png\|Puck Summerdream File:Romeo Monty-icon.png\|Romeo Monty File:Titania Summerdream-icon.png\|Titania Summerdream File:Tybalt Capp-icon.png\|Tybalt Capp File:Vidcund Curious-icon.png\|Vidcund Curious </gallery> ===Artist images=== {{for\|more images\|:Category:Talkbox images}} <gallery widths="120" captionalign="left"> Image:AngelaPleasant-SE.jpg\|Angela Pleasant Image:BellaGoth-SE.jpg\|Bella Goth Line 62 ⟶ 72: Image:JillSmith-SE.jpg\|Jill Smith Image:MLandgraab-SE.jpg\|M Landgraab File:LokiBeaker-SE.jpg\|Loki Beaker File:CirceBeaker-SE.jpg\|Circe Beaker File:LucyBurb-SE.jpg\|Lucy Burb </gallery> ==Good vs. bad talkboxes== {\| \| ===Do=== {{User talk bubble \|image = [[File:Bella Bachelor (TheSims 3).png\|120px]] \|color = #CCEEFF \|color2 = \|textcolor = \|textcolor2 = \|line = \|fonttype = \|name = VickyBot \|sig = [[User:VickyBot\|Vicky]] \|time = 09:40, August 4, 2010 (UTC) \|text = Hi Duskey, what's up?
