I have downgraded the protection from full to semi. Angr/talk 13:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

go to my user page for the reason why --Hollerbackgril 02:01, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think these language templates, xx, xx-1, xx-2, xx-3 and xx-4 have been made consistent for a reason, which means we should not just change the color of one of them. Prolog 05:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what reason is that? see Template_talk:User_en-5 and Template:User en-4 for more. --Hollerbackgril 10:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The colors should be in line with WP:BABEL. Many users can speak several languages at level 3, so having 50 xx-3 boxes blue and one, en-3, orange does not make much sense. I suggest you propose the color change on Wikipedia talk:Babel, so more users can comment on it. Prolog 12:51, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to get light green colors to match other templates. -The Big X 21:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

<div style="float:left;border:solid #00FF00 1px;margin:1px">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width:238px;background:#90FF90"
| style="width:45px;height:45px;background:#00FF00;text-align:center;font-size:14pt" | '''[[English language|en]]-3'''
| style="font-size:8pt;padding:4pt;line-height:1.25em" | This user is able to contribute with an '''[[:Category:User en-3|advanced]]''' level of '''[[:Category:User en|English]]'''.
|}</div>

Which looks better?

So what did I do wrong? -The Big X 01:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why "info-s" is "7.5" here in "en-3"? I think "info-s" should be dropped so that the info size is the same as in "en-2", "en-4", and so on. Regards, --Anna Lincoln (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks, Majestic. --Anna Lincoln (talk) 07:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{Editprotected}} The template is full-protected, but it has {{Pp-semi-template}} on the page and hasn't been changed to an icon. SchfiftyThree ^(talk!) 18:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks, Prolog (talk) 18:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{editrequest}} Could the template be updated to the code below:

{{userbox-level
| level    = 3
| id       = [[English language|en]]
| info     = This user is able to contribute with an '''[[:Category:User en-3|advanced]]''' level of '''[[:Category:User en|English]]'''.
}}<includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{{categories}}}|no||[[Category:User en|{{PAGENAME}}]][[Category:User en-3|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}</includeonly><noinclude>
{{pp-template}}
{{documentation}}
</noinclude>

This is to change it to use the userbox-level template which is used by other similar userboxes. Thanks -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:32, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done kind of. Dropped a message on your talk page. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:08, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find a definition or even any kind of allegorical suggestion of what "advanced" means. In fact I have yet to see definitions for any of the levels. Can anyone direct me accordingly? MJXcess (talk) 05:55, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Add | nocat = {{{nocat|}}} per WP:CATSUP.

Done — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 15:01, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could you make nice centered text, by adding code < center > (avoid - of course - space between "<" and "c" and between "r" and ">"...) in line: "info" before words: "This user..."? Zboralski (talk) 22:29, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it just me who thinks the new wording of this template ("advanced level of the English language" rather than "advanced level of English") sounds even stranger? – filelakeshoe (t / c)  06:11, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
