Your Babel box is for saying what languages you know, as well as what operating system, keyboard layout, web browser, desktop environment, and text editor you are most comfortable with.

Details of how to use it to say what technologies you use are fairly scattered, but a large assortment are at Category:Wikipedians by technology, or in Category:Wikipedians.
- Template:Babel - Allows 1 to 100 boxes.
Format: {{Babel|<box1>|<box2>|<box3>...}}
- Template:Babel-N - Allows any number of boxes.
Format: {{Babel-N |1={{User <box1>}}{{User <box2>}}{{User <box3>}}...}}
To specify a custom header, footer, bordercolor or color add the parameters header=HEADER (default: Wikipedia:Babel), footer=FOOTER (default: Search user languages), bordercolor=BORDERCOLOR (default: #99B3FF), and/or color=COLOR (default: white).

Example: {{Babel|align=left|color=yellow|en|fr|de|!|tl|ru|leet}} produces:
