Template:REVISIONUSER2
Catrone3
The magic word {{REVISIONUSER}} gives poor formatting and fails in wikilinks if the username starts with an asterisk '*' or semicolon ';'. This template is a workaround. Usernames starting with '*' or ';' are relatively rare. {{REVISIONUSER}} may work correctly if it is not in the output but only used in a test during processing.
Usage
Use {{REVISIONUSER2}} instead of {{REVISIONUSER}}
Use {{REVISIONUSER2|pagename}} instead of {{REVISIONUSER:pagename}}
Note the pipe instead of a colon.
Example
Suppose you want to link the last editor of User:Deadfire/Sandbox.
[[User:{{REVISIONUSER2|User:Deadfire/Sandbox}}]] produces:
[[User:]]
Alternative approach
Wrapping {{REVISIONUSER}} with {{#invoke:String2|nowiki|...}} so it looks like {{#invoke:String2|nowiki|{{REVISIONUSER}}}} also works.
