• Can Sichuanese get a Babel userbox, thanks. (First request yay)--Prisencolin (talk) 04:40, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

• Can we get a Mansi user box, it only has one on the {{#babel:}} and none on the {{Babel}}. Or well it won't show up to me when I type in mns-1. Ewithu (talk) 15:20, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Can we make a width= parameter to make ! work properly (not make the userboxes squished)? —Internoob (Talk•Cont.) 21:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Using #babel

There's an RFDO of the babel templates used by this template going on at the moment. Regardless of whether it passes or fails, can anyone see any downsides of switching {{Babel}} to use the #babel: function? --Yair rand 07:22, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

That's been archived at [[Template talk:User en]].​—msh210℠ (talk) 16:21, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Default message

"This user cannot read or write any languages. Assistance is required" is it a joke? Please replace it with a useful error message. --Z 14:20, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Agreed; this is stupid. Equinox ◑ 11:31, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Still quite an amusing joke, 11 years later. Fond of sanddunes (talk) 23:33, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Can we add (or if it exists, document) this? There are users that add Babbel boxes as a joke which is a bit annoying because they are then incorrectly categorized. Fytcha (talk) 17:48, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Documentation should explain how to add a language

For example I don't know where to look to find or edit the text "This user knows the basics of how to write Python code and make minor tweaks", which appears if you put "python-1" in the template. Equinox ◑ 11:33, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

What’s going on with the Tibetan user box? I see it on other users’ pages, but on my page it won’t render.

I have tried adding it in my simple babel template, as well as with a separate user template, and it won’t render on my user page, even though I’ve seen it render on other user pages. It’s also not rendering here:
