On MetaWiki we implemented an overhauled user language template system, which only uses one meta-template with subpage localizations (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:User_language). It includes a well-defined set of levels (unlike the old babel system), uses only one sorted category per language, and has various other improvements made possible with ParserFunctions. The babel system was phased out on MetaWiki long ago; see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:User_language#Comparison_with_babel_templates.
Now that looks like *exactly* how this system should work. Good job to Meta. There's definitely no need for an extension here that anyone's pointed out.

I'm with Simetrical on this one. A well-designed template like the one on meta seems to work just fine, and the other wikis should copy their example, imo.
