- "Hobbyhorse" is a turn of phrase. FreeDictionary puts it best. Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 02:04, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

- Thanks. Say what you will about MCwiki, but it made me realize that our stalkboxes, as they are now, focus way too much on irrelevant, real-life personal details of people, and not enough on what they do on the wiki. Accordingly, I removed the "real name" line entirely and made locale only mention the country. I changed age to "demographic," because "where you are in life" does effect how you interact with people on the wiki, but "22 1/2 years old" was needlessly specific. Hobbyhorses is one that, I felt, desperately needed to be added. Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 05:06, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- I think it might be a good idea if we keep the "It's a joke" phrase under the title. Nembus 08:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- That was added a couple years ago purely because Proxima Centauri, dolt that she is, freaked out unreasonably when she saw "Stalk this user." This new stalkbox doesn't even have a place to put a user's real name or specific age, and I'm going to forbid any mention of a user's specific town or state. In other words, there is no longer any possible reason to take the words "stalk this user" literally. Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 08:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- All I need is the country and gender and I'll find out everything I want about the person (jk). But yeah, you make a good point. Nembus 08:36, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] I SUMMON THE MIGHTY NX!
...to come and fix this. Why the heck is the image placeholder broken? Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 08:27, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- It works if you remove the image parameter completely. I don't know what's wrong, it's supposed to work. -- Nx / talk 09:13, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- No, wait, it's supposed to do that. -- Nx / talk 09:31, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you, Nx! Hans Johnson I'll get my hans on it 09:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Merged with Stalkbox
See here for details/comment. This one is redundant & currently transcludes the original stalkbox, but can be deleted if it's replaced on all the pages it's used on. Weaselicious Bite Me 11:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
