Thread:Extension talk:Babel/Between proficiency 0 and 1/reply

It actually does and someone even feels it's very useful. I disagree with your proposal because 0 is 0, not 0.01 or any positive value; 1 can mean everything depending on your scale (as well as the word "basic"), therefore – although some users ironically use the 0.5 level on wikis with 3 (or even 4 and 5) + 2 levels – you should just use level 1 and specify what you mean in your user page. Don't be too strict, I see presumptuous users that put a level 2 for very basic knowledge of some languages they've never studied.
