Added instructions to the new User Template
== PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS TEMPLATE ==
'''If you have a request to change something, please add a discussion to this page.'''
== 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: <pre>{{User|WikiUsername}}</pre> where
* ''WikiUsername'' is your wiki username.
''E.g.'' Dave Humphrey's username is David.humphrey. Using the syntax above, Dave would use <code><nowiki>{{User|David.humphrey}}</nowiki></code> which displays as: {{User|David.humphrey}}
=== Username with Real Name ===
Insert the following wherever you would usually add your name to a wiki page: <pre>{{User|WikiUsername|RealName}}</pre> 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 <code><nowiki>{{User|David.humphrey|Dave Humphrey}}</nowiki></code> which displays as: {{User|David.humphrey|Dave Humphrey}}
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.
