Created page with "{{Documentation subpage}} {{Shared Template Warning}} {{Commons Import}}  ==Usage== This template prov..."

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Shared Template Warning}}
{{Commons Import}}

==Usage==
This template provides a way to link to a userpage and display just the username, like {{code|[[User:Example|Example]]}}. This may not help much for a short username like "Example", but it can be more useful with long usernames such as {{code|[[User:Guywh0sitsbehindphilip12|Guywhositsbehindphilip12]]}}.

===Example===
:{{tlx|user link|Example}}
or the shortcut form
:{{tlx|u|Example}}
gives
:{{u|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:
:{{tlx|u|Guywhositsbehindphilip12|Guy}}
which gives
:{{u|Guywhositsbehindphilip12|Guy}}

===Alternative===
The desired result can also be achieved using the [[Help:pipe trick|pipe trick]] feature of the MediaWiki software. For example, the wikitext
:<code><nowiki>[[User:Example|]]</nowiki></code>
gives
:[[User:Example|Example]]
