Template:Ute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Usage

This utility is a typing saver for use on talk pages to link another users's talk page on another sister projects; The first perameter must be a link prefix (e.g.-- {A member of the set: W:, V:, M:, Wikt:, B:, etc.}, space, or 'Nil' (two pipes next to one another... a skiped perameter). If the latter two are given, it operates with the local {{SITENAME}} identically with {{ut}}.

This template takes a one, two or three arguments... {{ Ute | Arg-1 | Arg-2| Arg-3 }} of which,
   The first must be nil or the prefix as above,
     The second must be an official 'User name', (not signature or Nickname)
     and the second being a Pipetrick name (if you don't want the default display of User Name)
     and expands these as follows:

1) Given a second argument as {{ Ute |Arg1|UserName (Arg-2) }} expands to [[{{{1}}}User talk: UserName| UserName]]
           (Arg-2 repeats as the default, and hides the phrase 'User Talk:' displaying 'User Name' as a link).

2) Given an additional double  argument after the project prefix, as {{ Ute|M: | UserName |Mr. Fudge }} expands to [[M:User talk: UserName| Mr. Fudge]]
           (Arg-3 thus masks the default, and hides the phrase      'User Talk:' displaying 'Mr. Fudge' as a link).
   This allows embedding a username link to his/her talk while reading as the user's name, which aids clarity, yet accesses their talk.
   Pretty handy for cross-posting, or remembering to notify them, that said discussion is 'Hot' with their involvement in said arguments made or cited.
