TT tags around username[edit]

Ack. I don't like this change, and while I understand the reasoning, it's really not necessary. Is there a reason to keep this? Tijuana Brass^¡Épa! 06:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The <tt> is quite distracting in my honest opinion. -- Netsnipe ^(Talk) 19:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's used so the font is display differently, because I l looks like I l in that font. Helpful identifying doppleganger accounts.

example:

Jimbo Wales (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (real one)
Jimbo WaIes (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (fake vandal)

with tt tags:

Jimbo Wales (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (real one)
Jimbo WaIes (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Notice you can't tell the difference without the tags.--Andeh 22:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the <TT> option makes sense however it should only be on the user name portion of the template and not the actual links portion. (→Netscott) 20:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock option?[edit]

I was thinking that in correspondance with the "block user" option in userlinks it would be logical to add an "unblock user" option. Thoughts? (→Netscott) 20:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The TT thing[edit]

Add a class to the tt tag, so that we can set in monobook.css what font is used when unambiguous letterforms are needed. --Random832 03:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And while we're at it possibly throw in an unblock option? (as I specified in the thread above) (→Netscott) 03:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't unblocking handled through the same page as blocking, Special:Blockip? --Random832 16:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please specify the exact change in code you propose, so that non-expert admins may make the change once there is consensus. Sandstein 22:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added class="userlinks".—Quarl ^(talk) 2007-03-10 10:58Z

Names have shrunk[edit]

The user name size has been reduced and I can't see how to fix it. Can anyone help? SlimVirgin ^(talk) 20:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SlimVirgin, I've included code below that you can copy and paste into this template to incease the font size of names. The key part is the ' style="font-size: 1.2em" ' you can experiment with different sizes by changing the 1.2em part... between 1 to 1.3 is probably where you want to be. Cheers.

Sorry to be so slow to respond, Netscott, but I only just saw your reply. Thank you very much! :-) SlimVirgin ^(talk) 09:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, we all get caught up in our wikignoming sometimes. Take it easy. :-) (→Netscott) 09:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The formatting discussed above has been wrongly-implemented and the declaration used on the template is currently invalid, causing CSS warnings (and having no effect on the formatting) on every page on which this template is used.

style="1.2em" doesn't do anything – you either want style="font-size: 1.2em" or if you think that no font-size change is necessary (i.e. you want the template to look like it does now, since this version is broken) then simply remove the "style=1.2em" declaration altogether. (Anyone who does want it a different size can use a custom stylesheet anyway). Thanks – Gurch 08:47, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. Petros471 09:18, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template doesn't work correctly[edit]

Just noticed someone was trying to report a user at WP:UAA, but this template didn't work. Look what happens if I type
{{userlinks|Acalamari = Naconkantari}}
Example user (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
It just puts up "example user". Jackaranga 22:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
{{userlinks|Madigan = Sotiropoulos}}
I tried reporting this user as well, but it just brings up "Example User" instead. There should be a way to fix this. NHRHS2010^Talk 23:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use {{userlinks|1=username}} instead. ~ Sebi _[talk] 05:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Found this related bug in the "bot reported" section of WP:UAA:

{{userlinks|2+2=poop}} shows up as

Example user (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). --Tckma 19:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

abuse filter link[edit]

{{editprotected}} Please add abuse filter link. So it looks like this Example User (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · abuse log · block user · block log)

--Otterathome (talk) 12:31, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "title=Special:AbuseLog" parameter is now twice in the link. Please remove one of them. Cheers, theFace 18:53, 19 June 2009 (UTC) {{editprotected}} Wikipedia no longer calls Special:AbuseLog an "abuse filter"; now it's Wikipedia:Edit filter. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 14:23, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --- RockMFR 16:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move request[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move, created redirect Kotniski (talk) 10:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Userlinks → Template:User links — Use spaces for better readability. --The Evil IP address (talk) 18:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment why not just create a redirect? I don't see the point of renaming it when a redirect will do. 65.93.12.249 (talk) 05:24, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Because that's not sufficient. People might have it harder to read the page name in the source, links or even in the title of a browser. A redirect just isn't enough. --The Evil IP address (talk) 09:03, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Can't see any reason to move it, and people are used to it. Would a redirect not work? SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 10:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Talk-page history link[edit]

Could we add a link to the user's talk-page history? I for one would find that useful. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 21:35, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: Andy, I put a version that implements this in the template sandbox. See {{Userlinks/sandbox}}. As this 2-year old suggestion is stale, and there is no discussion of the pros and cons here, I'll leave it to you to implement if you want, as you're now a template editor. Pros: saves a click for users who would otherwise go to the talk page and then click "history". Cons: Makes the list a bit longer. – Wbm1058 (talk) 15:03, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Any objections, before I do that? I don't plan to wait another two years ;-) Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:20, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template Merge[edit]
