Replacing ombox with mbox?[edit]

@Cj005257, Smjg, Ucucha, Rcsprinter123, Y256, Izno, Gestrid, Skyllfully, and IvanScrooge98:What do you think of using {{Mbox}} instead of {{Ombox}} for this template? I imagine some people put it on their userpage while others might put it on their User talk-page where it clashes with the other {{Tmbox}}-style boxes. Are there any reasonable reasons not to do this? Respectfully, InsaneHacker (💬) 20:50, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@InsaneHacker: actually, I have no idea whether it would be better to change it or not, to be honest. As far as I know, it might be just as harmful as useful.

As far as I know the functionality is virtually the same (same parameters etc.) it just changes look based on namespace. Alternatively one could restrict it to only ombox and tmbox using a #switch based on namespace. Respectfully, InsaneHacker (💬) 21:37, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Smaller option?[edit]

The template as it is currently is pretty long and this results in a tall template (at least four lines) relative to many other Wikibreak templates. Could there be a "short" parameter or something along those lines (would be no by default but could be manually turned on)? As for the text, it could be something along the lines of "This user is in school and may be inactive for varying periods of time." ~BappleBusiness^[talk] 04:07, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a smaller version at User:BappleBusiness/At school small. I wasn't sure how to add a "small" parameter to this template while keeping the other parameters. I think it would be redundant to create a whole new template, so if anyone could help me merge the two so it can be moved into the template namespace, it would be really helpful. ~BappleBusiness^[talk] 20:31, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
