• Keep. Just change "contribute" to "contributed". I don't think there's any good reason to delete it -- if someone was proud of being an active contributor enough to put it on their userpage, they're probably proud enough to say that they were a former contributor. jp×g 02:54, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and convert to past tense (I would use "used to contribute", not "contributed"). No valid reason for deletion has been presented here, as there's nothing wrong with userboxes showing past activities. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:05, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep No good reason to delete. If a user wants to note past contributions to LyricWiki, what is wrong with that? It is actually more relevant than many userboxes. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 21:31, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @DESiegel: How would this userbox help us write an encyclopedia? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:34, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Isabelle Belato Frankly I don't think moat user boxes help at all in building the encyclopedia. I woulds be happy to restrict them to the original Babel boxes. (Note how many userboxes I use.) But as long as we permit a wide variety of userboxes, this is not worse than most. At least knowing that a user used to contribute to another Wiki might say something positive about that user's wiki-editing skills, albeit not much.

        • Koavf, my apologies, that was an editing error on my part. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 13:10, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Just fix the text. Already done. I prefer "used to contribute", not "contributed". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:32, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and modify per those above. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 12:51, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
