**The template does not care about [[namespaces]] meaning the above example placed on either [[LyingBrian]] or [[User:LyingBrian]] would have the same text for the link, "LyingBrian's Profile".
**Make sure to check the player number before placing the template on a page. Putting the above example on [[Mr. Flay]]'s page would create a link, "Mr. Flay's Profile'', but would link to LyingBrian's Profile.
