There are five templates for different levels of competence in a sign language:
- {{User sgn}} for those who have a sign language as their native, primary or preferred language.
- {{User sgn-3}} for those who can use a sign language at an advanced level.
- {{User sgn-2}} for those with an intermediate knowledge of a sign language.
- {{User sgn-1}} for those with a basic knowledge of a sign language (such as the alphabet).
- {{User sgn-0}} for those who do not speak a sign language or understand it with considerable difficulty.
