[edit] Where did the C++ userboxes go?
Where did the C++ userboxes go? Last Avenue 17:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- I can't find them anywhere. Can you remebmer what they were called? Are you sure you didn't just seen a generic template like: {{user programming-!1|c++}}
- It renders as:
c++-1 | This user is a beginner c++ programmer. |

[edit] MySQL
is there a mysql userbox??
- There is Template:User mysql. I'll add it to the page.--Commander Keane 03:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] QBasic?
Are there Userbox tags for QBasic or is there anyone willing to make one? Yadaman 00:14, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ASP.NET?
There isn't any userbox tags for ASP.NET, only ASP... And they ain't exactly related... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.214.14.191 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Native programmer?
Er, what's a native programmer? Someone who was taught to program before learning to speak? -JohnRDaily 23:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

is serious as far as I'm concerned,and it has no silly template. For others like User asm-N I've no idea what they mean. Omniplex 07:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
started as joke, but it might make sense in a distant future when categories User rexx-0 up to User rexx-4 are created.
[edit] Java/Coffee Userbox
To minghong: I just reverted your changes because I think that userbox refers more to java, the programming language, than to coffee, although I did't bother to delete it in the food section. The name of the template, java-4, matches the name of other programming languages and some other: The topic (java) followed by a skill value. The design also fits the other programming userboxes. Anyway, it is just suitable for expressing (in a more or less humorous way) the personal level that one has mastered at Java. So it has a right to stay here, I believe. Not that it's of that much importance, btw :o) Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the java-symbol is a steaming coffee-cup, just in case you did't know. (Hm, that somehow sounds derogative, but is by all means not meant that way). JoshuaJD 16:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- After having visited your user page, I might have refrained from the explanation of the Java symbol (ludicrous :o) - should have gone there before posting...) - but am a little surprised now that you - with your knowledge of Java - still do not consider the userbox in question as being suitable for this section. I am curiously awaiting your POV. JoshuaJD 16:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Err. Me again. On second or better umptieth thought, I find this box rather odd - template name's not java-4 but something like java coffee. It looks just like the program language icons, but links to an article about coffee?! I really would like to learn about The Creator's motivation for creating it. Anyway, not being as convinced as before, I think that inclusion of this box will definitely not hurt nevertheless, but agree to subject to a 10.000+ editor of Wikipedia, even if that would mean that my only contribution ever would be reverted. My, what a tragedy :o) Your POV nevertheless appreciated... Gone being obsessed with this userbox, JoshuaJD 20:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template cleanup
The User language categories for programming skills and corresponding templates are somewhat messy. Some proposals:
- If category User language-babelcode exists it should obviously be a subcategorty of User language. Therefore any template User language-babelcode should only include the relevant category...
<includeonly>[[Category:User language-babelcode|{{PAGENAME}}]]</includeonly>
...but itself belong to the parent category...
<noinclude>[[Category:User language| ]]</noinclude> - Especially templates should never include the grandparent of their relevant category, otherwise we're all directly listed in a huge and useless Category:Wikipedian programmers. Ideally a language category consists only of its subcategories and existing User language templates, e.g. User batch
- As soon as templates for skill levels -0 up to -4 and maybe -N exist any plain template without skill level is obsolete. Userboxes/Programming page I've added a new note 0 for cases where 1 is already obsolete could be used to obsolete the plain template, probably overkill, but the general direction should be clear. For the
- See also {{User asm}}, {{User c}}, {{User cobol}}, and {{User perl}}. For User batch I tried my first move to User batch-1, but that turned out to be a royal PITA.
- Skill level -0 is often dubious, it needs some justification like User fy-0 or User perl-0. Generally listing things we don't know is pointless, there's simply too much we don't know... ;-)
- Skill level -N is also dubious, for User c-N I found a justification, it now implies User asm-4. Both -0 and -N are special if they exist at all.

[edit] Is there a place for verilog and VHDL?
Verilog and VHDL are Hardware description languages. Can they be placed under this category? -- Luenlin 06:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Brainf___?
Where are the brainf___ userboxes? :) Akral 19:57, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Don't worry; you can call it brainfuck ;-) --Ihope127 01:03, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Really? ^_^ Well, there are the brainfuck userboxes, then? ^_^ --Akral 21:33, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- I call it brainf*sk myself --Gamefreak2413 (talk) 22:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AJAX
It would be nice to include a userbox for AJAX developers. This is the future (or already the present!) of the Web. Hugo Dufort 06:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] simplest userbox ?
As you might see on my user page, there's two programming language missing a userbox and I had a hard time understanding the colors as the decimal from the source code needs two hexadecimal thus mot matching the template of one ... Anyway I was wondering if there was a way to skip the formatting altogether perhaps with some kind or inheritance. I like the concept of Wikipedia:Userboxes/Programming#General as I wouldn't have to make duplicates for different levels. Please refer me to the proper page or give me a pointer. --DynV 02:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] VC++
Why there isnt any VC++ user box? It is pretty popular language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slimmer Eric Cartman (talk • contribs) 20:19, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
