Template:About user

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is a high priority for maintenance as it is original to the OWOT Wiki and used in articles. As such, this template may contain bugs and it should be a top priority of template maintainers to quickly fix any issues that arise with it. Discuss breaking changes on the talk page before implementing them.

{{About user}} makes the important distinction between a Wiki page about an OWOT user and a user page. To use it, transclude the template at the top of Wiki pages about OWOT users and user pages, and it will automatically create a clarifying hatnote.

On a Wiki page: {{About user}} →
This is the article about the user on OWOT. For the user page of the user on this Wiki, see User:About user.
On a user page: {{About user}} →
This is the user page of the user on this Wiki. For the page about the OWOT user, see About user.

If the link is incorrect, you can manually specify the correct page name:

On a Wiki page: {{About user|Owot}} →
This is the article about the user on OWOT. For the user page of the user on this Wiki, see User:Owot.
On a user page: {{About user|Owot}} →
This is the user page of the user on this Wiki. For the page about the OWOT user, see Owot.
