The Babel extension adds a parser function to replace the old Babel system that completely relied on templates. If an unrecognized language parameter is specified, it will see if there is an existing template with the name and include that.
On Wikimedia projects, the noun Babel (in reference to the Tower of Babel) refers to the texts on user pages aiding multilingual communication by making it easier to contact someone who speaks a certain language. The idea originated on the Wikimedia Commons and has also been implemented on many other wikis.
ဒင်ႏထင်ႏဒပ်ꩻဗွို့ꩻ
- Download and move the extracted
Babel
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Babel - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'Babel' );
- Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
- အဝ်ႏလိုႏနေးမုဲင်ꩻ ဖျင်ဆင်သွော့ꩻ
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
- The CSS is located in the file
resources/ext.babel.css
. You can change the style as desired by overriding them in the pageMediaWiki:Common.css
. - If the CLDR extension is found language names are taken from that (where translations are unavailable), otherwise built in MediaWiki language names and English defaults are used.

Syntax for the #babel
parser function is as follows:
{{#babel: babelcode1 | babelcode2 | ... }}
Add one of the following codes for each language you speak or understand, separated by |
, where xx
is the MediaWiki language code, ISO 639-1 code, or ISO 639-3 code for the language. The general usage of each code level is as follows:
xx-0
: If you don't understand the language at all.xx-1
: Basic ability—enough to understand written material or simple questions in this language.xx-2
: Intermediate ability—enough for editing or discussions.xx-3
: Advanced level—though you can write in this language with no problem, some small errors might occur.xx-4
: "Near-native" level—although it's not your first language from birth, your ability is something like that of a native speaker.xx-5
- ဒါႏလဲပ်လို့ ပရော်ဖဲက်သိဉ်နယ်
xx
orxx-N
: Native speakers who use a language every day and have a thorough grasp of it, including colloquialisms and idioms.
To include any other template, add the name of the template, e.g., add User CSS
if you want to include Template:User CSS
. A prefix or suffix may be added to template names (e.g., User
at the beginning) depending on the local configuration. This can be used to restrict the selection and reduce the length of parameters; for example, CSS
could include Template:User CSS
if configured in such a way.
Parameters
To remove the header and footer, use plain=1
as the first parameter, e.g., {{#babel: plain=1 | babelcode1 | babelcode2 | ... }}
.
This makes it easier to use Babel with other userboxes.
To hide categories, use the nocat=1
parameter as the first parameter, e.g., {{#babel: nocat=1 | babelcode1 | babelcode2 | ... }}
.
Please note that only one of the parameters above is allowed.
At the moment, it is not possible to use both parameters; for example, {{#babel: nocat=1 | plain=1 | babelcode1 | babelcode2 | ... }}
will not work.
Categorization
If categorization is enabled, the extension creates categories using the Babel AutoCreate bot with the text specified in MediaWiki:babel-autocreate-text-levels and MediaWiki:babel-autocreate-text-main. With basic settings, the categories that the bot creates are not categorized, and to fix this, it is recommended to do the following:
- Create a template {{Babel category }} that will generate categories.
- Replacing text on MediaWiki:babel-autocreate-text-levels with
{{Babel category|level=$1|language=$2|ISO=$3}}
- Replacing text on MediaWiki:babel-autocreate-text-main with
{{Babel category|language=$1|ISO=$2}}
This will allow you to categorize categories automatically, and if something happens, you can simultaneously replace the categorization and text in all categories.
Configuration
Configuration parameters
Babel has several configuration parameters which can be modified in LocalSettings.php
.
$wgBabelLanguageCodesCdb
- (string) the path of the language code database file, the default should suffice.
$wgBabelLanguageNamesCdb
- (string) the path of the language name database file, the default should suffice.
$wgBabelCategoryNames
- (array of string or boolean, indexed by the strings "1", "2", … "5", "N") where each entry is the name of a category for the skill level indicated by its index, possible variable elements are:
%code%
(language code),%wikiname%
(the name of the language in the wiki's content language), and%nativename%
(the name of the language in its language). To disable adding a category for a particular level, set the corresponding value to false.
- ပီဗွိုန်နုဲင်းအတာႏ:
$wgBabelCategoryNames = [
'0' => 'User %code%-0',
'1' => 'User %code%-1',
'2' => 'User %code%-2',
'3' => 'User %code%-3',
'4' => 'User %code%-4',
'5' => 'User %code%-5',
'N' => 'User %code%-N',
];
- will use categories like "Category:User en-0" and "Category:User fr-N". The default is just "Category:Fr-N" and so on.
$wgBabelMainCategory
- (string) Name of the main (non-level) category for each language to which all users of that language are added. Set to false to disable; defaults to format "Category:Fr". It accepts the same format as
$wgBabelCategoryNames
above. Example:$wgBabelMainCategory = 'User %code%';
$wgBabelDefaultLevel
- (string) Default ability level to use when none is specified, should be an index from
$wgBabelCategoryNames
, that is one of the strings "1", "2", … "5", "N". Default is "N". $wgBabelUseUserLanguage
- (boolean) Whether to use the user interface language for the header and footer message. If false (default), it will be in the page content language. This is because using the user interface language may fragment the parser cache.
$wgBabelCategorizeNamespaces
- Array of namespaces to only add automatic categorization to. For example, if
$wgBabelCategorizeNamespaces = [ NS_USER ];
, then Babel will only add categories to pages in the user namespace. The default is null, which means categorizing all namespaces. $wgBabelCategoryOverride
- Whether to allow Babel categories to be overridden on the wiki using MediaWiki:Babel-category-override
$wgBabelAutoCreate
- Whether to auto-create categories.
