Wikipedia:Userboxes/Programming

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:

1 Specific languages
- 1.1 Programming languages
- 1.2 Markup, Query, and Scripting languages
2 Missing languages
- 2.1 General
- 2.2 Userbox system overview

[edit] Specific languages

Often skill levels -1 up to -4 are supported by corresponding templates. Sometimes -0 and -N (derived from native ) are also offered. A typical example is the programming language C:

Code

Result

c-0

This person does not understand C (or does not want to program in C).

c-1

This user is a beginning C programmer.

This user is an intermediate C programmer.

c-3

c-4

This user is an expert C programmer.

c-N

This user has written C compilers, or tweaked C runtime libraries in Assembly language.

[edit] Programming languages

² indicates that the: language has some, but not all, of the levels.
¹ indicates that the: language has levels 1 through 4. For example {{user ada}} ¹ indicates that levels {{user ada-1}}, {{user ada-2}}, etc. can be used.
⁰ indicates that the: plain template without skill level is obsolete, as noted by {{user babelcode}}.

[edit] 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

VRML-2

This user is an intermediate VRML programmer.

RuneScript-1

This user is a beginner RuneScript programmer.

MATLAB-2

This user is an intermediate MATLAB programmer.

FORTRAN-3

This user is an advanced FORTRAN programmer.

Foo90-4

This user is an expert Foo90 programmer.

Unlambda-N

This user is a native Unlambda programmer.

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.

[edit] General

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

Code

Result

prog-0

This user doesn't program, but knows that writing XHTML is not programming.

prog-1

This user is a beginning programmer.

prog-2

This user is an intermediate programmer.

prog-3

This user is an advanced programmer.

prog-4

This user is an expert programmer.

prog-N

This user is a native programmer.

prog-x

This user is merely a humble programmer.

The latter doesn't fit into the babelcode scheme; it might be deprecated in the future.
