The [[Help:Magic words|magic word]] <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONUSER}}</nowiki></code> gives poor formatting and fails in wikilinks if the username starts with an asterisk '*' or semicolon ';'. This template is a workaround. It is not needed if [[phab:T28781]] is fixed.



== Usage ==

Use <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONUSER2}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONUSER}}</nowiki></code>



Use <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONUSER2|</nowiki>''pagename''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONUSER:</nowiki>''pagename''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>



Note the pipe instead of a colon.



== Example ==

Suppose you want to link the last editor of [[User:*Casper/sandbox]].



<code><nowiki>[[User:{{REVISIONUSER2|User:*Casper/sandbox}}]]</nowiki></code> produces:



[[User:{{REVISIONUSER2|User:*Casper/sandbox}}]]



For comparison, <code><nowiki>[[User:{{REVISIONUSER:User:*Casper/sandbox}}]]</nowiki></code> produces:



[[User:{{REVISIONUSER:User:*Casper/sandbox}}]]



The latter fails if the last editor is <code>*Casper</code> and [[phab:T28781]] is unfixed.



Usernames starting with * [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=*] or ; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=;] are relatively rare. <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONUSER}}</nowiki></code> may work correctly if it is not in the output but only used in a test during processing.



== Alternative approach ==

Wrapping <code><nowiki>{{REVISIONUSER}}</nowiki></code> with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:String2|nowiki|...}}</nowiki></code> so it looks like <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:String2|nowiki|{{REVISIONUSER}}}}</nowiki></code> also works.
