Babel templates
editHi Jmunchovie. Since I see you're fairly new here and a fellow Canadian, and I read on your user page that you speak four languages, I thought I would randomly volunteer some information on one way Wikipedians communicate which languages they know: the Babel templates. You can see what I'm talking about on the right-hand side of my own user page.
Using these templates is by no means mandatory or anything; it's just a nice standardized way of communicating this information. To use them, you just add code to your user page that looks like this
- {{Babel-4|en|fr-3|it-2|de-2}}
The text between each of the | signs is a language code from the ISO 639-2 standard (en is English, de German, fr French, etc.). The numbers (e.g. "de-2") indicate proficiency levels; having no number indicates you're a native speaker of that language. This hypothetical example above is a native speaker of English, a level 3 French speaker, and a level 2 Italian and German speaker.
Anyway, as I said, don't feel obliged to use these templates or anything. I just thought I'd offer some information. --Saforrest 05:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
