How to add a languages box to your userpage

• Start off with {{#babel:
• Next add one of the following codes for each language you speak or understand, separated by |, where xx is the Wikipedia code for the language:
  • xx-1 for basic ability – enough to understand written material or simple questions in this language.
  • xx-2 for intermediate ability – enough for editing or discussions.
  • xx-3 for advanced level – though you can write in this language with no problem, some small errors might occur.
  • xx-4 for 'near-native' level – although it's not your first language from birth, your ability is something like that of a native speaker.
  • xx or xx-N for native speakers who use a language every day and have a thorough grasp of it, including colloquialisms and idioms.
• Then finish by adding closing braces: }}

So, for example, {{#babel:en|fr-3|de-1}} would indicate a native speaker of English with advanced knowledge of French and basic knowledge of German.

These templates add you to the category associated with your level of understanding, and to the overall category for that language.
