Wikipedia:Userboxes/Language/Programming/04

Programmers often have advanced methods of browsing and working on Wikipedia. To participate in discussions on advanced Wikipedia skills, see the Virtual classroom. You are invited to share and compare your wikiways. What power tools do you use?

Below is a list of all the programming-related userboxes on Wikipedia. Placing one of these on your userpage automatically lists you in Wikipedia's category system under the corresponding category so that other users may find you based on your skills. The available programming userboxes are:

Specific languages

Often skill levels -1 up to -4 are supported by corresponding templates. However, skill levels may extend as high as -6. Sometimes -0 and -N (derived from native, meaning superlative ) are also offered. A typical example is the programming language Ada:

Missing languages

If your language doesn't have a specific level userbox and you don't want to create it yourself, you can use a generic programming language userbox. Pages with these templates show the specified language skill, and belong to the corresponding general programming skill category:

Code	Result
{{Template:User programming-!2|VRML}}	VRML-2 This user is an intermediate VRML programmer.	Usage
{{Template:User programming-!1|RuneScript}}	RuneScript-1 This user is a beginner RuneScript programmer.	Usage
{{Template:User programming-!4|Foo90}}	Foo90-4 This user is an expert Foo90 programmer.	Usage
{{Template:User programming-!N|Unlambda}}	Unlambda-N This user is a native Unlambda programmer.	Usage
{{Template:User programming-!3|SNOBOL}}	SNOBOL-3 This user is an advanced SNOBOL programmer.	Usage
{{Template:User programming-!3|PL/1}}	PL/1-3 This user is an advanced PL/1 programmer.	Usage
{{Template:User programming-!3|COBOL}}	COBOL-3 This user is an advanced COBOL programmer.	Usage
{{Template:User programming-!3|Algol}}	Algol-3 This user is an advanced Algol programmer.	Usage

Note that e.g. {{user programming-!3|Fortran}} won't add you to Category:User for-3, but you can add existing categories manually to the end of your page:

[[Category:User for-3|{{PAGENAME}}]]

On a user page the {{PAGENAME}} is simply the user name, used as sort key for the category, otherwise the entry would be sorted under U = User.

General

You can also use one of the general programming language skill level templates:
