[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)


The formatting discussed above has been wrongly-implemented and the declaration used on the template is currently invalid, causing CSS warnings (and having no effect on the formatting) on every page on which this template is used.

style="1.2em" doesn't do anything – you either want style="font-size: 1.2em" or if you think that no font-size change is necessary (i.e. you want the template to look like it does now, since this version is broken) then simply remove the "style=1.2em" declaration altogether. (Anyone who does want it a different size can use a custom stylesheet anyway). Thanks – Gurch 08:47, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Removed. Petros471 09:18, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template doesn't work correctly

Just noticed someone was trying to report a user at WP:UAA, but this template didn't work. Look what happens if I type
{{userlinks|Acalamari = Naconkantari}}
Example User (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log)
It just puts up "example user". Jackaranga 22:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
{{userlinks|Madigan = Sotiropoulos}}
I tried reporting this user as well, but it just brings up "Example User" instead. There should be a way to fix this. NHRHS2010 Talk 23:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Use {{userlinks|1=username}} instead. ~ Sebi [talk] 05:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Found this related bug in the "bot reported" section of WP:UAA:

{{userlinks|2+2=poop}} shows up as

Example User (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log). --Tckma 19:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
