Please apply Special:Diff/941729320/976979286 to remove number of categories check to allow unconditional categorization of articles (main namespace) into Category:Pages with misplaced templates. See, for example, Special:Diff/959473229, where template ((userbox)) has stayed in the article for a month and a half, but the article wasn't categorized due to absence of parameter |usercategory=

Userboxes that have a border 2 pixels wide seem to have a non-standard height, since the border expands outwards rather than in toward the infobox center. This creates subtle misalignments, like here. Could this be remedied? ((u|Sdkb)) talk 23:50, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
border-direction: inward
because it doesn't exist. No matter what, a CSS border will always expand outward. It is theoretically possible to have some extra calculations within the module that shrinks the width and height in unison with the border, but for the effort it would take to implement it, would it be worth it? --Diriector_Doc├─────┤TalkContribs 05:50, 7 September 2021 (UTC)This edit request has been answered.

I would like to request the the seemingly random (({info))}
code be removed from the top of the page. It appears like it's not meant to be there or something's not showing up right. If it's supposed to be there let me know. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:33, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
@GKFX: is it because of your recent edits that user pages are showing up in Category:Userboxes with insufficient color contrast (23,820)? I.e. the category is being transcluded from the templates to the user pages. – Fayenatic London 21:50, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
I noticed in doing some maintenance that ((User Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure)) is being inappropriately added to Category:Wikipedians who like Pretty Cure by the |usercategory=Wikipedians who like Pretty Cure
code in the userbox. I believe that this should not be happening. Templates should live in template categories, and User pages that transclude the userboxes should be assigned the User categories. It looks like this discussion from 2014 tried to address the issue but went nowhere.
The problem can be worked around using includeonly tags, but the template should just do the right thing. If I knew Lua, I would try to fix it, but I do not. If the Lua code could somehow provide the equivalent of includeonly tags, that might do the trick. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:17, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Template:Userboxtop and Template:Userboxgroup seem to be broken, adding a lot of extra space, as of January 2024. See how it looks on the right-hand side [here.
Was there a recent formatting change? Maybe related to this merge discussion? Caleb Stanford (talk) 00:19, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
