Hey, it's the pwn3d n00b again. I cleaned up my user page yesterday and I was just wondering, at the top I have fiddled around with a template a bit so that it looks like a Radiation Poisoning Template, but it's not a real template. Is there a way I can change it into a proper template? Submit it, like, or whatever? Cheers. Spongey 12:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The best way to make a template as a user is to make it a template in your userspace. Thus, make it a subpage (maybe "User:Spongeface/murder_children" or whatever your template will be). Then you can make {{User:Spongeface/murder_children}} anytime you want. It's just a thought.--<<>> 13:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Really templates are just a quick method for including code that'll be used several times. Unless you're planning on using the same thing lots, then there's no real need to template it. Unless you just want the code in the edit box to look nicer, in which case, do what Brad said. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 17:51, 24 Dec 2006

Just keep all templates in userspace before Famine finds out. You're probably better off just sticking the code in if you want to make a one time only template. Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 17:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I was assuming you were asking because you were planning on using it a lot. If not, just posting the code in the article is a much better idea.--<<>> 18:04, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's all good.. but "murder_children" ?! what kind of example is that setting? --—Braydie 18:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I probably shouldn't have jumped to conclusions on to what exactly he'd have the template doing... :)--<<>> 18:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

There's a template that murders children. Where?! --—Braydie 18:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Murder children?! Heavens no! I'm talking about giving people radiation poisoning. Who the hell do you think I am?! Spongey 22:50, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

A template that can murder children? I want one! --User:Nintendorulez 12:28, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

{{GRUE}}...duh! --HP talk 07:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

There is an easy way to make your own templates - but the real question is, why do all templates that promote any conservative ideas get immediately vandalized or deleted? It seems that only liberal templates are "acceptable" around here. And note that no conservatives will ever vandalize templates - somehow they're more mature than the liberal "elite." So go ahead and make a new template, but if it doesn't express some sort of leftist ideal, expect it to be deleted really quick. Now, I'm not saying I'm against liberals. In fact, I'm a centrist, and I always end up getting bashed by both sides no matter what I say. But there is no doubt that the atheist liberals have no respect for conservative templates. It's just a fact. I would have hoped people on a humor site like this would respect others more, but I continue to be mistaken. This being Christmas and all, we should be focused on making Jesus-related templates, not vandalizing templates that aren't liberal.

...What?!?! I'm just trying to clean up the code of my user page. The Radiation Poisoning template is there simply because I have the word "Atomik" in my name. Who said anything about politics? Unless I'm missing something here. Am I missing something? I wouldn't be suprised, I am only thirteen. Spongey 00:29, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

IGTT 7.3/10 Nice try, but you didn't exactly capture the spirit of Orion Blastar in your Orion Blastar rant(TM), still you got points for trying. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 00:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Haha. Yeah, you're missing something :). Don't worry about it. Orion Blastar is our local conservative pundit, and I was just parodying his style of posts. --Composure1 01:16, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Correction moderate pundit, I scored almost centered on the political compass test and just a little over to the left. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 00:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Why is it that every time I mention murdering children someone has to bring Orion Blaster into the discussion? He only did it ONCE for Heaven's sake, and nobody will let him live it down. Whatever happened to FORGIVENESS?--<<>> 04:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Banned for a month. We thought he was a sockpuppet of Benson. —Sir Major Hinoa [TALK] [KUN] [04:38, 26 December 2006 (UTC)]

Actually, he did it several times. --User:Nintendorulez 17:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Well I am sort of like Benson, except Benson is better than me. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 00:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Long story, it was in the future, and my friend Hunter and I were on the planet Winston eating fried chicken and drinking RC Cola that tasted like chicken. We discussed how bad the food and soda was on the planet and how most people on it were Nazis or Rednecks. We paused for a minute, and Hunter turned to look at me in the eyes and said "Orion, I'm bored, let's nuke this planet! It is only Tech Level 7 and the best they have here is helicopters to throw at our starships." I replied, "Wait wait, you cannot just nuke a planet for no good reason. Besides we are pirates and there needs to be some sort of profit involved." Hunter spoke, "Well how about we rob some banks? Use ship missiles to break open the bank vaults and take out billions of credits after everyone panics from the fallout and leaves the banks in the confusion?" I simply stated "We still need a reason to nuke this planet. By the way did you notice that all they serve here is RC Cola?" Hunter replied "Yeah no Coke or Pepsi, I could really go for a Pepsi right now." I laughed "Yeah if a civilization does not have any Pepsi soda for sale in it, it deserves to get nuked." Hunter laughed and said "That's it, that's the reason, no Pepsi, so we nuke the planet!" I replied "Hunter, you go get the stolen Patrol Cruiser with the nuclear missiles, and I'll get my Pirate Corsair with the nuclear missiles and get our crew into radiation suits, we got a planet to nuke and a lot of banks to rob!" I swear, we killed about maybe 4 billion people, and about 2.1 billion of them were children, and we made off with only 40 billion credits, but they were Nazi or Redneck children so it didn't count. Please forgive me, because technically it happened 2000 years from now in another star system under a different set of laws by a different government. All I ask is for a little forgiveness. I mean you forgave Ted Kennedy for his car accident and the woman he killed? Just multiply that by about 4 billion souls, 2.1 billion of which were Nazi or Redneck children. --Lt.

Ahh, I see! Sorry about that Composure1. I've only been here for a few months, and I've only recently came out of my hidey-hole to communicate with other people. Haven't quite got the hang of it yet, as you can see by the questions I've asked. You lot is a helpful bunch! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to vandalize Orion Blastar's page with political gibberish. Spongey 12:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
