<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This template provides an easy way to link to forum user profiles.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
To link to any forum user profile, just use:<br />
<br />
<pre>{{Forum user|<user>}}</pre><br />
<br />
Where <tt><nowiki><user></nowiki></tt> is the user's forum name.<br />
<br />
This will generate a link to the user's forum profile, with the link text being the user name.<br />
<br />
=== Alternate link text ===<br />
<br />
Sometimes you want to link to a forum user, but you don't want the link text to be the user's name.<br />
This template has a second, optional parameter that allows you to do that.<br />
<br />
For example, you can write {{tlx|Forum user|Thumper|a link to the forum's resident super genius}}, and it will produce {{Forum user|Thumper|a link to the wiki's resident super genius}}.<br />
If you check that link, you will see it takes you to Thumper's forum profile page.<br />
<br />
