Hey, look at this... [[Wikipedia:Requested

Not to stir this up again, but do we want to make this easier?
I've taken the liberty of redirecting it to Wikipedia:Requested
templates, the place it sprang from. I think its creation was simply an
overenthusiastic initiative without thought for the consequences.
Frankly, given how easy it is to create a userbox for those actually
interested, I don't think there's all that much demand for a dedicated
page in any case.

Awww... I'd just had an evil plan:
1. create several innocent and popular user boxes
2. add a tangled web of parserfunctions and transclusions allowing me
to remotely override the content
3. wait for noobs to gleefully plaster boxes over their page without
looking at the code, let alone understanding it
4. change them all to say "This user's mother is a hamster, and hir
father smells of elderberries"
5. profit
6. go and work on some articles
