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.

Single 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.

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.

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