Have you examined the figures? This is a massive
growth. Political
and belief-based userboxes have increased tenfold since the end of
November. A database check tells me that of our 3500 or so userboxes,
1500 were created in December, and a further 250 have been created in
the first three days of January alone.
Kelly informs me that a large amount of the apparent growth in
December can be accounted for by cut-and-paste moves of userbox
templates as they were renamed. Apparently the userbox people were
unaware of the fact that a moved template gets a redirect, thus
preserving the user pages including it.
