This page is a collection of talkboxes, small colored talk bubbles designed to be used when leaving messages on talk pages as a way to distinguishes 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 talk page.

How to make a talkbox

  1. The first step is to look over the Usage section and Example section of {{User talk bubble}}. This is the code you'll need to use to make a talkbox.
  2. 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.
  3. You can now start to make a talkbox. Copy the code from {{User talk bubble}} and paste it in the new talkbox you're making. You can then fill in the fields to create your talkbox.


Easier Way

Copy this code:

{{TalkTextTest2 H|HimageH=Unknown H|HcolorH= Unknown H|Hcolor2H= Unknown H|HtextcolorH= Unknown H|Htextcolor2H= Unknown H|HlineH= firebrick H|HfonttypeH=Unknown H|HnameH=Unknown H|HsigH=Unknown H|HtimeH=Unknown H|HtextH={{{text}}} }}

Get rid of the H's after the words (i.e. H|HimageH would turn into |image), and fill in all the missing information (all the "unknown"s).

How To Get An Image

  1. Go to the page with the talkbox images and click on one you like.
  2. 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))

  1. Copy the name

(i.e. Alexander_Goth-SE.jpg)‎

  1. Paste it into the field that says

|image=

Voila! You now have a image for your very own talkbox!
