{{वाणी}} is for showing the languages that you know, as well as the operating system, keyboard layout, web browser, desktop environment, and text editor that you are most comfortable with. Details of how to use it for its original purpose—showing the languages that you know—are at Wikipedia:वाणी.

Usage सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्

{{वाणी|<box1>|<box2>|<box3>...}}

Parameters can be added using the {{!}} and {{=}} tricks:

{{वाणी|0RR{{!}}border-c{{=}}red}}

The वाणी box prefixes its arguments with "User ", so it will work with the User: namespace:

{{वाणी|:UBX/Userboxes/Thank Button}}

Copying template to other wikis सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्

The page you are now reading is the /doc subpage for the actual वाणी template. If you click "edit this page", you will see invocation of Lua Module:वाणी that makes the वाणी boxes work. What you're now reading is just documentation for that code, transcluded inside "<noinclude>" tags so it doesn't interfere with the computer code.

In order to have वाणी boxes on another Wikimedia project, you need both template and the module. Click "view source" and copy all the contents, including the computer code. Create a page called "Template:वाणी" on the other Wikimedia project and put the content into it. Do the same for the module.

You also need to copy over a bunch of files with names like "Template:User en", "Template:User en-1", "Template:User fr", etc. etc. Once you've done that, users can put e.g. "{{वाणी|en-1|fr}}" on their user page and the वाणी boxes will be displayed.
