 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:REVISIONUSER2 It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The magic word {{REVISIONUSER}} 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 {{REVISIONUSER2}} instead of {{REVISIONUSER}}
Use {{REVISIONUSER2|pagename}} instead of {{REVISIONUSER:pagename}}
Note the pipe instead of a colon.
Example
Suppose you want to link the last editor of User:*Casper/sandbox.
[[User:{{REVISIONUSER2|User:*Casper/sandbox}}]] produces:
[[User:]]
For comparison, [[User:{{REVISIONUSER:User:*Casper/sandbox}}]] produces:
[[User:]]
The latter fails if the last editor is *Casper and phab:T28781 is unfixed.
Usernames starting with * [1] or ; [2] are relatively rare. {{REVISIONUSER}} may work correctly if it is not in the output but only used in a test during processing.
Alternative approach
Wrapping {{REVISIONUSER}} with {{#invoke:String2|nowiki|...}} so it looks like {{#invoke:String2|nowiki|{{REVISIONUSER}}}} also works.
