Template documentation
 | This template is used on approximately 657,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This is a user link template for use internally on Misplaced Pages.
Usage
The username can be defined via a named or an unnamed parameter, i.e.
{{User|User=USERNAME}}or{{User|USERNAME}}
Examples
{{User|Jimbo Wales}}→ Jimbo Wales (talk · contribs)
In cases of usernames which contain = sign, the former syntax should be used, e.g.
{{User|User=Billbailey=legend}}→ Billbailey=legend (talk · contribs)
Parameters
- User is a required parameter, e.g.
|User=Jimbo Wales. - Project defines a Wikimedia sister project to be used instead of the English Misplaced Pages, the correct code for the interwiki link should be used, e.g.
|Project=b. - Lang is the interlanguage code for a project to be used instead of the English Misplaced Pages, e.g.
|Lang=es. This can be used in conjunction with the project parameter. - separator defines the symbol used to separate different links, e.g.
|separator=pipe. The default is a dot.
