Template talk:Userlink

Purpose

Typing {{subst:Userlink|Pilk}} takes a lot longer than typing [[User:Pilk|]]. What is this template meant to do? -- Pilk _(talk) 02:26, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

*Shrug* not sure, though it's designed so that it automatically puts [[User:Pilk|Pilk]]. Might be a BIT better if you have a longer name like "Smashman" >.> --Firestorm   03:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Typing [[User:Pilk|]] (note the "|") automatically does [[User:Pilk|Pilk]] when the page is saved. Basic wiki markup knowledge! -- Pilk _(talk) 04:30, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Cool! --Firestorm   04:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

You can use {{ul}} as it is a redirect. I didn't realise about the lack of name thing, but this can do talk pages and add fancy colours to mods and admins.  – Smashman _(talk) 01:30, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Fancier usernames for staff

How about extending this template so that mods and stuff get special colored username links? :3 — Wind 00:23, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
