Link to a user, either internal or interwiki

  • For users without a user page you may link to their talk page with {{Ut}}.
  • For links to users of the German Wikipedia, use {{Ud}}.

Usage

{{U |1= |9= |10= }}

Many users have only a User Talk page but no User page on Commons. This results in a red link with the standard linking [[User:UserName]].
An easy edit to fix this link is just to change the {{U| to {{Ut| to link the user talk page with the user name.

Another reason for a redlink may result of changing the user name by the postfix "~commonswiki".
An easy edit to fix this link is just to change it to {{Uw| to link the new user page with the user name,
or to the talk page with {{Uwt| when only this one exists.

Sometimes neither user page nor the user talk page exist on Commons.

  • The Template:Uc checks whether the user page exists, and links to it if yes.
Otherwise it checks whether the user talk page exists, and links to it if yes.
Otherwise it checks whether a user~commonswiki page exists, and links to it if yes..
Otherwise it checks whether a user~commonswiki talk page exists, and links to it if yes..
Otherwise it links to the special page "user contributions" that lists the editor's contributions on Commons.
If the other pages are created later, it automatically prefers the talk page over the user page.
Since existence checks are not possible in other Wikipedias, these checks are performed only when no language code is specified.

This template pings the mentioned user like a normal page link. To not ping the user, see {{Noping}}.

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
