message: The Georgian boxes talk about "the Georgian (Mkhedruli)."  The word "alphabet" needs to be put in there somewhere.  Similarly, the Korean boxes talk about "the Hangul"; it should probably say something like "the Korean script (Hangul)".  Richwales 04:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, I've had a look at how to make these, but the coding's just baffing me... I don't suppose anyone feels like making the two Chinese script templates, do they - please? Grutness...wha? 07:44, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: almost done, but I don't know which characters to add. Pls edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:User_iso15924/character&action=edit accordingly. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 20:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that - I've used the old and new symbols for language, which should be appropriate enough. Grutness...wha? 22:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Please do not add 0-level language usercats (see the UCfD for more info). This also applies to Template:User iso15924/category-intro. Thanks! Xiner (talk, email) 16:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Level-0 user categories are no longer added by this template, per the recent UCfD that closed with a decision to delete such categories. I made a small error in the coding that temporarily removed users from all ISO-15924 categories, but it was just corrected and should make its way through the job queue shortly.

message: Hi, I just created some boxes for the classic Mongolian script. Unfortunately IE 7 breaks the line between "Mong-" and "1" or "5" in the userboxes, making them even bigger than they already are (as in ). It looks OK in the category headers, probably because these use a smaller font. I have no idea what could be done, but I would prefer the line not to be broken. Any ideas?

message: Can some explanation about how to locate userboxes be added on the template page? There's nothing there now, and it's very difficult to find boxes for individual languages. Badagnani (talk) 03:19, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No explanation 

message: I changed the Georgian character just now in Template:User iso15924/character, but the change doesn't seem to be taking effect in the userbox.  Did I do something wrong?  Does some additional step need to be taken in order for a character change to be included?  Is there some batch job involved, and I just need to be a bit more patient?

replies: text: The change did finally take effect sometime overnight (in the past eight hours).  I'd still like to know what accounted for this delay, for the sake of my curiosity if nothing else.  Richwales (talk) 14:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character change didn't happen?!? 

message: Having at last located where these boxes have been hidden (talk about user-unfriendly), I found myself unable to figure out how edit them. The reason that I wish to do so is that two of the boxes have errors; these are the user-cyrs box (has a stray >) and the user-gujr box (has a stray | in it, which screws up the entire box).
Also, I really do think that these should be made Babel-compatible, as writing systems are a vital component of language, especially on Wikipedia (what good is advertising that you know a language without being able to write it, eh?).
These really should be made more visible. And less confusing. This whole thing is a bit of a fustercluck, IMO.

thread_title:  Issue with Cyrl 

message: I removed "Category:User " as this is always a supercategory of "[[Category:User -..." which immediately followed it (:Category:User Cyrl is a supercat of :Category:User Cyrl-1). However, looking at only one userpage this appears not to have significantly reduced the number of number of supercats (there are still 11, with only Category:User Cyrl going away).

replies: text: The Supercat should not be there indeed. So it is OK now in this Userbox (scripts), but not in the language series. -DePiep (talk) 09:42, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that Template:Babel(?) still creates some redundant categories, such as with , which creates both Cat:User simple and Cat:User simple-3. Hyacinth (talk) 03:31, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Below Over at  I proposed to remove the en-N category from that template (for a different reason, not because of being a supercat). Your remarks still stand. -DePiep (talk) 10:53, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Supercats

message:  produces a userbox with the following text:  "This user has an intermediate understanding of the Greek script."  Why "script"?  Why not "alphabet"?  (For what it may be worth, "Greek script" redirects to "Greek alphabet".)   — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Greek "script"? 

message: I'm no template guru but I've been working on red-linked categories, and I've come across several that are the result of incorrect use of this template. See the discussion I had over at User_talk:DePiep#Template:User_iso15924 for details but two main points have come up :
# Can parameter#1 be tested to see that it only has 4 characters (better still, letters) and if not, return a friendly error message, and better still withhold application of any categories other than a maintenance category? I've seen several instances of people trying to use this template to indicate ability at languages rather than scripts - see User:Kkhemet for an example.  
# Can parameter#2 be assigned a default and/or error message if it is empty? It would stop ugly categories being created such as on User:Thekaleb
