As I said, if this user template pass, I don't see any reason why other "regional language" template should not pass.
I have no problem with that.
When someone says that (s)he is speaking Bronxian, Philadelphian, San-Franciscian or even "The Language of 10th New York Avenue" and make a template about that, (s)he would be completely right. Of course, I would be the first who would list all of my native "regional languages" because I have the same feelings toward my regions as the person from Zlatibor toward Zlatibor. As well as I know a lot of people who have the same feelings toward the parts of Belgrade.
So, do you consider Belgradian to be your mother tongue? I, for one, think you're blowing smoke and disrupting WP to prove a point.
How many people do you think honestly consider Bronxian or Philadelphian or San-Franciscan to be their mother tongue? Probably only a handful. And what are the chances that these people are Wikipedians?
And language user templates would become a nonsense.
And I think that this conversation is nonsense, too. If you want to defend such principle even language user templates would become a nonsense, go on. But, I see that there are enough of reasonable people on the poll.
Wikipedia is about consensus, not "majority rules".

Uhh... is there such a category? And if there were, would it matter if that were a part of it? And why couldn't they classify it if it were userified?

But, they can't classify category "User zb" in some super-category of South Slavic speaking people.

People can still add the category [[Category:User zb]] to their page.

I don't think it matters -- even if there is no template, people can make it look like a language template anyhow.
So if they can make something that looks like a rabbit and acts like a rabbit, why not just give them a rabbit?
Because of categorization. _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
