Usage

This template can be used in 2 ways:

Username only

Insert the following wherever you would usually add your name to a wiki page:

{{User|WikiUsername}}

where

• WikiUsername is your wiki username.

E.g. Dave Humphrey's username is David.humphrey. Using the syntax above, Dave would use {{User|David.humphrey}} which displays as: David.humphrey (talk - contribs)

Username with Real Name

Insert the following wherever you would usually add your name to a wiki page:

{{User|WikiUsername|RealName}}

where

• WikiUsername is your wiki username
• RealName is the name you want displayed on the link.

E.g. Dave Humphrey's username is David.humphrey. Using the syntax above, Dave would use {{User|David.humphrey|Dave Humphrey}} which displays as: Dave Humphrey (talk - contribs)

Ideally, you would use this template wherever you need to repeat your username/real name so that others can quickly view your User, User Talk, and Contributions page.
