You stated that policy did not support the extension of T1 outside the
template namespace (or at least not within the user namespace). This
is of course correct if not reflective of the practice of some of our
more enthusiastic userbox removers. Do you wish withdraw or modify
your statement?

Of course no one is really expecting you to rigidly apply policy as
flawed as T1 because deleting [[Template:Nazism]] would probably be
regarded as stupid by pretty much everyone.

On a personal level I think the new userbox sucks. But then at the
last count I thought that about:

Userboxes in general (I can just about tolerate Babel boxes although I
would rather people got the embassy system working instead)
Messages on userpages saying "this page has been vandalised X times"
where X is a single figure number
Image galleries on userpages (subpages exist for a reason)
[[Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award]]
Complex coding on User talk pages

However unless your image gallery is made up of fair use images I am
not going to interfere with your choice to have a sucky userpage.
