- Template:Babel must stay in template space as that is the Wikimedia wiki way. I made an interwiki link edit to the pt Wikipedia, so I got an account, but put
{{babel|en|fr-2|pt-0}}
so that nobody tries to contact me in Portuguese. Greeves (talk • contribs) 04:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

- Obviously they belong in userspace. The question is whether the anti-userbox fanatics will even let us keep them there, or whether they'll go on a deletion spree based on a false interpretation of criterion T1. Waltontalk 13:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
