Wikidata:Userboxes
A userbox is a small coloured box (see examples below) designed to appear on a Wikidata contributor's user page as a communicative notice about themselves, in order to promote more effective collaboration through familiarity and encourage personal expression.
The first userboxes were introduced to support Babel, a Mediawiki extension which eases item translation by allowing the user to view and edit more than one language in the Wikidata interface.
Other userboxes can indicate a user's WikiProject participation, technical skills/proficiencies or personal interests. They might also indicate a user's editing privileges or access level, such as being an administrator, property creator or bureaucrat.
Please create userboxes in the "Template:" namespace and place a link to the template on this page. If you can, please make them translatable to keep Wikidata multilingual.

Users by language |
To build your personal Babel template code, start with the empty Babel parser function: {{#babel:}}
.
Add a language code and indicate your objective proficiency in that language by appending a hyphen followed by a number between 1 and 5 (inclusive), or
for a native speaker:
n
{{#babel:en-1}}
Add more languages by separating them with a vertical bar or "pipe"
character:
|
{{#babel:de-1|da-2|en-3|pl-4|es-5|fr-n}}
User access levels
Users who are members of certain user rights groups that confer special editing privileges on Wikidata and might want to indicate this on their user page so other editors who need assistance from someone with those abilities can more easily find them. Userboxes for this purpose can be shown as part of the Babel template by adding additional parameters such as these:
{{#babel:admin|autopatrolled|bureaucrat|property_creator|rollbacker|translationadmin}}
Users with special editing privileges at other Wikimedia Foundation projects may also wish to indicate them on Wikidata for similar reasons, e.g. to help editors who require action from an administrator on one of the Wikipedias. This, too, can be indicated in the Babel template with an additional parameter:
{{#babel:admin_MediaWiki.org}}
Users with global permissions for Wikimedia projects may indicate them on Wikidata using Babel template parameters as well, such as:
{{#babel:global_renamer}}

WikiProject userboxes
WikiProject affiliations may also be displayed as part of the Babel template by adding the parameter text listed in the table's center column, or by transcluding them as a standard template by placing the wikitext from the left column between {{Userboxtop}}
and {{Userboxbottom}}
.
