| Note: This template is used on a lot of pages. In order not to put too much load on the servers, edits should be kept to a bare minimum. Please discuss proposed changes on the talk page first.
Afterwards, changes can initially be done at and tested with Template:PD-user/sandbox.
- Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the servers since it fills up the job queue.
- Keep in mind that templates that are used on file description pages also show up on other wikis.
- This page is template-protected from editing to prevent vandalism. Only template editors and administrators can edit it. Get their attention by placing {{Edit protected}} at the talk page.

Usage
Template parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default | Status |
|---|
1 | user name | User name of the releaser, e.g. Multichill will display Multichill.
| Example | required |
2 | language code | To refer to an account on one of the Wikipedias, write here the ISO 639-1 language code,
e.g. en or any other language. | empty | optional |
3 | display name | The alternate display value to show for the linked username. This can be e.g. the real name. | par. 1 | optional |
or, instead of
these 3 params,
only parameter 1 | an other
definition
of user name | It may be
- either an item of the user namespace
- can be the complete link to the user name of the releaser, e.g. [[User:Multichill]]0or rather complex e.g. [[:en:User talk:Multichill | Multichill]]
- can be specified by one of the user templates, e.g. {{U}}, {{Uc}}, {{Ud}}, {{Ut}}, {{Uw}},
- or another method to specify a user to be linked as a user name or its substitution.
- It may be an internal or external link, coded with single […] or double [[…]] brackets.
- It may as well be a {{Userlist}} with the parametrizing possibilities of that template.
In addition, it is possible to suppress the linking, i.e. to display plain text:
- when the first character of the value of parameter 1 is either &, <, [ or {
the value is taken as-it-is; e.g "[" will it be when a link template has been transcluded,
or "&" when the value starts with e.g. ­ or ‍
- it is always possible to switch on/off the link option of template:U, to avoid links temporarely,
- see the description of the User link templates.
