- Note: Not to be confused withTemplate:User
This template provides a way to link to a userpage and display just the username, like [[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 [[User:Guywh0sitsbehindphilip12|Guywhositsbehindphilip12]].
{{User link|Example}}givesExample
The desired result can also be achieved using thepipe trick feature of the MediaWiki software. For example, the wikitext
[[User:Example|]]
givesExample
User information templates provide informational links for a user; they are similar to signatures, but often provide additional information, and may be used by other users.
