[edit] TT tags around username

Ack. I don't like this change, and while I understand the reasoning, it's really not necessary. Is there a reason to keep this? Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 06:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. The <tt> is quite distracting in my honest opinion. --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  19:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

It's used so the font is display differently, because I l looks like I l in that font. Helpful identifying doppleganger accounts.

example:

with tt tags:

Notice you can't tell the difference without the tags.--Andeh 22:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the <TT> option makes sense however it should only be on the user name portion of the template and not the actual links portion. (Netscott) 20:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock option?

I was thinking that in correspondance with the "block user" option in userlinks it would be logical to add an "unblock user" option. Thoughts? (Netscott) 20:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The TT thing

Add a class to the tt tag, so that we can set in monobook.css what font is used when unambiguous letterforms are needed. --Random832 03:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

And while we're at it possibly throw in an unblock option? (as I specified in the thread above) (Netscott) 03:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Isn't unblocking handled through the same page as blocking, Special:Blockip? --Random832 16:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Please specify the exact change in code you propose, so that non-expert admins may make the change once there is consensus. Sandstein 22:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I've added class="userlinks".Quarl (talk) 2007-03-10 10:58Z

[edit] Names have shrunk

The user name size has been reduced and I can't see how to fix it. Can anyone help? SlimVirgin (talk) 20:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

SlimVirgin, I've included code below that you can copy and paste into this template to incease the font size of names. The key part is the ' style="font-size: 1.2em" ' you can experiment with different sizes by changing the 1.2em part... between 1 to 1.3 is probably where you want to be. Cheers.

Sorry to be so slow to respond, Netscott, but I only just saw your reply. Thank you very much! :-) SlimVirgin (talk) 09:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
No worries, we all get caught up in our wikignoming sometimes. Take it easy. :-) (Netscott) 09:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
