{{Shared Template Warning}}

{{tsh|u}}
==Usage==
This template provides a way to link to a userpage and display just the username, like <code>{{u|Example}}</code>. This may not help much for a short username like "Example", but it can be more useful with long usernames such as <code>{{u|Guywh0sitsbehindphilip12}}</code>.

===Example===
:{{tlx|user link|Example}}
or the shortcut form
:{{tlx|u|Example}}
gives
:{{u|Example}}

The template's second parameter, which is optional, takes the link's label; for example, a link to the long username used above can be shortened while viewing the text like this:
:{{tlx|u|Guywh0sitsbehindphilip12|Guy}}
which gives
:{{u|Guywh0sitsbehindphilip12|Guy}}

===Alternative===
The desired result can also be achieved using the [[Help:pipe trick|pipe trick]] feature of the MediaWiki software. For example, the wikitext
:<code><nowiki>[[User:Example|]]</nowiki></code>
gives
:[[User:Example|Example]]
