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.
