Template:Forum user/Documentation

Template page

This template provides an easy way to link to forum user profiles.

Usage

To link to any forum user profile, just use:

{{Forum user|<user>}}

Where <user> is the user's forum name.

This will generate a link to the user's forum profile, with the link text being the user name.

Alternate link text

Sometimes you want to link to a forum user, but you don't want the link text to be the user's name. This template has a second, optional parameter that allows you to do that.

For example, you can write {{Forum user|Thumper|a link to the forum's resident super genius}}, and it will produce a link to the wiki's resident super genius. If you check that link, you will see it takes you to Thumper's forum profile page.

Examples

Code Result
{{Forum user|Thumper}} Thumper
{{forum user|Cyclops}} Cyclops
{{Forum user|Thumper|link text (the link will go to Thumper's user page)}} link text (the link will go to Thumper's user page)
