<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->

* This template exists to give a quick idea of a user's background, and if necessary, a quick way to find or open either a promotion nomination or a problem report.
* This template takes one '''expected''' parameter: a username ('''without''' the prefix "User:"), for instance <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>usercheck|'''John&nbsp;Doe'''}}</code>. If this is not provided, the default will be "Example".
* This template begins with '''stable''' links: user page, talkpage, contribution history, contribution count, logs, block log, and listuser entry.
* This template also displays a list of '''conditional''' links to subpages titled with the user's name: request for adminship, request for bureaucratship, request for arbitration, request for comments on user conduct, long term abuse, request for checkuser, suspected sock puppets, and (only if they exist) the categories for confirmed and/or suspected sock puppets of this user.
* If this template '''cannot''' find a subpage for the user (perhaps because a request has not yet been accepted, e.g. for arbitration), it will form a <span style="color:gray;">'''gray link'''</span> to the main topic page, trying to find <code>'''<nowiki>[[</nowiki>PAGENAME'''#''username''''']]'''</code> instead. Besides '''finding''' entries that may not have subpages, these links may ease '''creating''' nominations or reports.
* Where several subpages may possibly exist (there could be more than one "rfa", "rfb", "arb", "rfc", or "socks"), this template links to a list of subpages for this username.
* This template does '''''not''''' require [[Help:Substitution|substitution]].
