Rubicon/Template:U

This is a revised version of the Template:U template. The original template fails when linking to any user who (1) has unencoded spaces in their username, and (2) doesn't have a wiki page. The reason is that it doesn't properly encode spaces in the username when making the link.

This template links to a page of the user with username {{{1}}}.

• It will first check for a wiki page [[User:username]], and link to it if it exists.
• If the page does not exist, it will check if there is a wiki page at [[username]] (without the User: prefix), and link to it if it exists.
• If the page does not exist either, it will link to the user's profile page on the forum.

{{{1}}}

The user name.

{{{2}}}

The displayed text. If not specified, {{{1}}} is used.
