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  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 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  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 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)

Wind doesn't read template sauce before talking. :x — Wind 01:33, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Da. It even does cool styles on the Valvey people! We all love valRobinWalker (talk)!  – Smashman (talk) 01:39, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh poo. Turns out that's broken. Could you add the <span class=" around the val plox? Kthx.  – Smashman (talk) 01:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

That worked, thanks. JeffLane is epic.  – Smashman (talk) 01:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
