The problem here is that not all projects call users "User" - e.g. in de: it is "Benutzer". Really there needs to be another entry that records what the project's term for "User" is. --TheGrappler 11:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Worng - "User:" works in all projects, as does "Image:", etc - the "canonical" english namespaces names are always available as "magic redirects". Try de:User:Duesentrieb, for instance. -- Duesentrieb(?!) 12:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link to 'Main Page'

Why is the link to the project always referring to 'Main Page'. Just [[:nl:|Wikipedia]] (Wikipedia) should work to and always point to the real main page (Hoofdpagina on nlwiki). WebBoy 20:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Upgrade

Hello! I made an upgrade for this template. It will check first if the input equals any other {{PD-user-*}} (such as {{PD-user-ar}}, {{PD-user-en}}, and {{PD-user-de}}) if so, it will redirects to original tempalte. That's meaning {{PD-user-w|en|wikipedia|OsamaK}} will redirects to {{PD-user-en|OsamaK}} (Which has a special text on English Wikipedia). Other wise, (For wikis which has no special tempate), it will works as it was before.--OsamaK 15:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to have worked. Please see Commons_talk:Licensing#.7B.7Btl.7CPD-user-en.7D.7D. Do keep in mind that this template is in very high use. Modifying this template takes a toll on the server load and affects legal information on thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of images. Please make a set of dummy templates (e.g. in your user namespace) and test thoroughly before making changes. LX (talk, contribs) 23:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
OK, no problem.--OsamaK 04:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kaput

It seems that somebody made a mistake when modifying this template. The language link for traditional Chinese is broken and the characters meaning "Chinese (traditional)" and the link to add new translations is displayed opposite to the logo. It seems to affect all versions of the template. --Kazu89 ノート 22:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Parameter #3 to user

{{editprotected}} I suggest to use 'user' parameter instead of #3, since parameters #1 and #2 is now deprecated. {{{3|Example}}}{{{3|{{{user|Example}}}}}}. Please do not remove parameter #3, since #3 is in use. Thank you. Kwj2772 (msg) 09:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
