	::Q, I just have to say... "We could make the same argument against including words." WTF? In all seriousness, though, if you apply a userbox to one page, it's not really fair to draw an imaginary line to say "this userbox on this page is okay, but yours isn't". I don't see why they should be included at all, as my main point is still that the majority of Pedia readers (regardless of page content, unless we're talking about Pedia-referencing pages) have no care or use for userboxes.		::Q, I just have to say...

	:I object to the one about pink pants. But seriously, I think it is quite possible and desirable to include a few userboxes on fan pages or similar ancillary pages such as the 436/437 pair, where such userboxes are entertaining to a number of people with a common interest, without swamping the more strictly formatted core LGPedia content pages (such as LG15 Character pages) with a massive number of increasingly silly or individually tailored userboxes. There's no need to go to an extreme. Userboxes are just like any other material that appears on the LGPedia, requiring some judgement and concensus to avoid a ridiculous or spam-like application. That extreme possibility does not mean none should be included at all.
