== 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? <b>[[User:Tijuana Brass|<span style="color: #FF4500; font-family: Times New Roman; font-variant: small-caps;">Tijuana Brass</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Tijuana Brass|¡Épa!]]</sup></b> 06:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
:I agree. The <nowiki><tt></nowiki> is quite distracting in my honest opinion. -- <span style="border: 1px solid">[[User:Netsnipe|'''''<span style="background-color: #003333; color:White"> &nbsp;Netsnipe&nbsp;</span>''''']]'''[[User talk:Netsnipe|<span style="background-color:White; color:#003333">&nbsp;<sup>(Talk)</sup>&nbsp;</span>]]'''</span> 19:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
It's used so the font is display differently, because I l looks like <samp>I l</samp> in that font. Helpful identifying doppleganger accounts.

example:
*{{vandal|Jimbo Wales}} (real one)
*{{vandal|Jimbo WaIes}} (fake vandal)

with tt tags:
*<code>{{vandal|Jimbo Wales}}</code> (real one)
*<code>{{vandal|Jimbo WaIes}}</code>

Notice you can't tell the difference without the tags.--<span style="background:white;">[[User:Andypandy.UK|Andeh]]</span> 22:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
:I agree that the &lt;TT&gt; option makes sense however it should only be on the user name portion of the template and not the actual links portion. {{User:Netscott/s1.js}} 20:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

==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? {{User:Netscott/s1.js}} 20:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
==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. --[[User Talk:Random832|Random832]] 03:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The user name size has been reduced and I can't see how to fix it. Can anyone help? [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] [[User_talk:SlimVirgin|<sup style="color:purple;">(talk)</sup>]] 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.

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.

<code>style="1.2em"</code> doesn't do anything – you either want <code>style="font-size: 1.2em"</code> 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 – [[User talk:Gurch|Gurch]] 08:47, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

== 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 <br/>'''<nowiki>{{userlinks|Acalamari = Naconkantari}}</nowiki>'''<br />
{{userlinks|Acalamari = Naconkantari}}  <br />It just puts up "example user".  [[User:Jackaranga|Jackaranga]] 22:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
<br/>'''<nowiki>{{userlinks|Madigan = Sotiropoulos}}</nowiki>'''<br /> I tried reporting this user as well, but it just brings up "Example User" instead. There should be a way to fix this.

== Talk-page history link ==

Could we add a link to the user's talk-page history?

:{{ping|Pigsonthewing}} Andy, I put a version that implements this in the template sandbox. See {{tl|Userlinks/sandbox}}. As this 2-year old suggestion is stale, and there is no discussion of the pros and cons here, I'll leave it to you to implement if you want, as you're now a template editor. Pros: saves a click for users who would otherwise go to the talk page and then click "history". Cons: Makes the list a bit longer. – [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 15:03, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
