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. It is not needed if phab:T28781 is fixed.
Use ((REVISIONUSER2))
instead of ((REVISIONUSER))
Use ((REVISIONUSER2|pagename))
instead of ((REVISIONUSER:pagename))
Note the pipe instead of a colon.
Suppose you want to link the last editor of User:*Casper/sandbox.
[[User:((REVISIONUSER2|User:*Casper/sandbox))]]
produces:
For comparison, [[User:((REVISIONUSER:User:*Casper/sandbox))]]
produces:
[[User:
The latter fails if the last editor is *Casper
and phab:T28781 is unfixed.
Usernames starting with * [1] or ; [2] are relatively rare. ((REVISIONUSER))
may work correctly if it is not in the output but only used in a test during processing.
Wrapping ((REVISIONUSER))
with ((#invoke:String2|nowiki|...))
so it looks like ((#invoke:String2|nowiki|((REVISIONUSER))))
also works.
