Languages
On Wikipedia, these are available for almost all languages Wikipedia is available in (with the exception of User en-0), but listing them all here would take too much space. Just substitute the language code you want to use for "en". See Wikipedia:Babel for a complete list. And yes, since we're a Star Wars wiki, we have userboxes for Mando'a (for which we use the language code "m'a"): see User m'a-1, for example.

If a template for your language does not exist on this Wiki yet, create one by copying text from User en or the corresponding Wikipedia template.

Many more language userboxes can be found in Category:Userbox templates.

Multiple languages
Available for 1 to 15 languages, combine with the single language templates above:

New language template system
The credit for this system goes to Uncyclopedia. Instead of normal templates, such as user en or user en-0, it uses a generic format:


 * level

Here id is the language code (en, de etc.) and level is the knowledge level, which can assume values 0, 1, 2, 3 (see below for explanation) and N (native).

This template uses a number of meta-templates. To make the wiki understand a new language, do the following steps:


 * Add the template for the new language to your user page: level, where nl is the new language.
 * Click the preview button.
 * Click on the redlink titled "Template:LangName nl" and type the English name for that language (example: French, German). Type nothing else. Save the template page.
 * Return to your user page edit window.
 * Scroll to the bottom and click on the redlink titled "Category:User nl".
 * In the edit box, enter and save it. (Replace nl with the actual language code.)
 * Save your user page.

To add a new level besides the basic five, you will need to create three meta-templates (the color codes are given in hex, like FFF or FFFFFF, without the # symbol):
 * Template:LangLevelColor_level (see Template:LangLevelColor 0 for an example);
 * Template:LangLevelBgColor_level (see Template:LangLevelBgColor 0 for an example);
 * Template:LangLevelText_level (see Template:LangLevelText 0 for an example).

Also, edit Template:Langcat and add the new level to it.
