@Multichill You didn't answer my question. If you add en-0 to your babel it reads "This user has no knowledge of English (or understands it with considerable difficulty)". Several languages even bold the "no knowledge" part. The user has no knowledge. Why should those users be presented with input fields for languages they don't know?

I use level 0 to indicate users shouldn't bother trying to contact me using Chinese. You use it, a bit confusing to me, to indicate people should contact you using that language. But neither of us should be presented with input fields for this language. I "don't understand the language at all" (exactly as https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_language says), you can't write it. Or if you can, you should upgrade to level 2. Only starting with level 2 are you able to "edit simple texts".

@Jdforrester-WMF According to meta, level 0 doesn't understand the language at all. Level 1 can only read. Only level 2 and up are capable or writing in a language. So input fields (which require writing) should only be presented to those who consider themselves level 2 and up.
