Wookieepedia:Template messages/User namespace

Language
The credit for our language template system goes to Uncyclopedia. Instead of creating individual templates for each language, such as user en or user en-0, it allows us to generate them dynamically using a generic format:


 * level

In the example above, 'id' is a stand-in for a language code (such as en (English), de (German), etc.) and 'Level' is a stand-in for knowledge level, which can assume the values 0 (does not understand), 1 (basic), 2 (intermediate), 3 (advanced), U (understands, but does not speak), F (fluent, non-native), and N (native).

All of the currently available language codes are listed on List of user languages.

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, 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.
