(Redirected from Template:Ul)

  • {{U}}
  • {{ul}}
  • Usage

    This template provides a way to link to a userpage and display just the username, like [[User:Example|Example]]. This may not save much typing for a short username like "Example", but it may be more useful with long usernames such as [[User:Guywh0sitsbehindphilip12|Guywhositsbehindphilip12]]. This template is commonly used to ping a user to a discussion (when not using something like {{reply to}}). However, please read the notifications section below, if you need to notify the user.

    Example

    {{User link|Example}}Example

    The template's second parameter, which is optional, takes the link's label; for example, a link to the long username used above can be shortened while viewing the text like this: {{User link|Guywhositsbehindphilip12|Guy}}Guy

    Alternative

    The desired result can also be achieved using the pipe trick feature of the MediaWiki software. For example, the wikitext

    [[User:Example|]]

    gives

    Example

    Notifications

    As with other templates that create a link to a user page, the linked-to user may be notified under certain circumstances: it happens whenever the conditions described at Notifications are met. These conditions include the addition of one or more new lines of text, one (or more) of which contains the link, and one of which is signed in the same edit.

    TemplateData

    This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:User link in articles based on its TemplateData.

    Userspace link templates

    User information templates provide informational links for a user; they are similar to signatures, but often provide additional information, and may be used by other users. List:

  • For admin pages
  • Bots/admin log
  • Signature addition
  • Demo user used is User:Example
