There are other reasons to be against reopening this old controversy; others have pretty much covered it. So long as code remains for making userboxes of any kind, it may be used for expressive purposes on user pages. - [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]] ([[User talk:Ihcoyc|talk]]) 23:07, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
*Just a technicality, ''transclusion'' calls the template code each time the page is edited/saved. ''Substitution'' places the template code itself on the page so that even if someone changes the template itself, the page the template is displayed on won't change. I think you had things somewhat arsey-versey above. :-) And yes, you could do everything a userbox can do with plain text or some other kind of template, userboxes are just a popular package for this.--[[User:Doug|Doug.]]<sup>([[User talk:Doug|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Doug|contribs]])</sup> 16:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
