Hey, can I get someone to please add <noinclude>[[Category:Convenience templates]]</noinclude>? (I'm in the confusing situation of being unable to edit a template I myself wrote!) Thanks. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 03:07, 20 January 2009 (UTC) reply

Please add these interwikis:

[[de:Vorlage:Benutzer]]
[[es:Plantilla:U]]
[[ru:Template:U]]

I have only got these ones. Regards, Muro de Aguas (write me) 16:10, 26 February 2009 (UTC) reply

I have created the template documentation, so you could add them to there if you like. Regards, Martin ^msgj 16:59, 26 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Sounds good, but you can make this edit yourself at the bottom of Template:U/doc. — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 18:46, 2 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Thanks; done. I'd assumed from this and this that the catgorization had to be in the template, not in its doc file. I missed your edit here. TJRC ( talk) 18:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC) reply

{{ U}} and {{ Ul}} are almost exactly equivalent, except that {{ Ul}} lets you specify an optional second parameter that is used as the anchor text in place of the actual username. I suggest we make {{ U}} work like {{ Ul}} and then redirect {{ Ul}} to {{ U}}.

{{ U}} looks currently like this:

[[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]<noinclude>{{doc}}</noinclude>

It should look like:

[[User:{{{1}}}|{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]]<noinclude>{{doc}}</noinclude>

{{ ul}} is the older template. Maybe it would be better to move that template over this one? Or even better, move it to Template:User link (clearer name) and then redirect this one there as well. — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 09:08, 11 May 2011 (UTC) reply

As there was no response, I have now done this. — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 11:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC) reply

Please add redirect categories: {{ redr|from template shortcut}} Anon126 ( talk - contribs) 07:16, 27 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Question: Why is there a lot of parserfunction markup above, e.g. all those {{#if:}} - is it necessary? -- Redrose64 ( talk) 12:35, 27 March 2014 (UTC) reply

@ Redrose64: I was seeking to add the visible code, namely the given usage of Template:Redr, not the actual markup (By the way, that is a result of the substitution of Template:Tlx.) This applies similarly at Template talk:Ul. Anon126 ( talk - contribs) 02:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Done With the full name of the template and fully protected. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 03:07, 28 March 2014 (UTC) reply

@ Anon126: But {{ tlx}} isn't supposed to be substd. Just take the template syntax that you want to show, and insert tlx| before the template name, like this: {{ redr|from template shortcut}} -- Redrose64 ( talk) 08:18, 28 March 2014 (UTC) reply

I usually substitute any templates in discussion messages, but after going over WP:SUBST again...

Technically, templates shall not be substituted that (a) contain calls to ParserFunctions (#if, #switch, etc.), unless, where possible, these are substituted too (see mw:Manual:Substitution#Multilevel substitution)

—  WP:SUBST

... I realize that I should drop that habit. Anon126 ( talk - contribs) 22:03, 28 March 2014 (UTC) reply

{{ This is a redirect}} is deprecated and should be replaced with {{ Redirect category shell}}. Please convert {{This is a redirect|from template shortcut|fully protected}} to:

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from template shortcut}}
}}

It does not need "fully protected" parameter because the template checks for it - like the old one did (see the current template, it lists "Fully protected" twice). Christian75 ( talk) 11:11, 18 March 2017 (UTC) reply
