thread_title: Pipe vs. bullet

message: Hey guys,  I just found my user page had been broken in two places by people faffing around with templates. It's not a big deal, but in one case many pages were broken.  Before you make a significant change, please understand how many pages use a template, and what your change is going to do to them.  Regards, Rich   Farmbrough. 13:44, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Think before you act

message: When a lot of extra text and bells and whistles are added to this template, WP:LA experiences an error:  "# Error, oversize inclusion". See this Village pump section for more details. Again today, I restored the template to a more minimalist version. Long term solution ideas are requested. Ideas? NoSeptember 20:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: This template breaks [[WP:LA]]

message: Since admin actions, as well as crat actions, now come up on the user rights log (because of WP:RFR), I reckon this template should now have a "rights" link, like on the  template. Any thoughts? - Zeibura ( talk ) 19:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Add "rights" link 

message: I don't think the template is (yet) overlong. How about adding a link to email the user, to emphasize multiple paths for contacting admins? --causa sui (talk) 22:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add "email" link 

message: I think the external links need to be changed into internal links, which can be done by replacing everything with:

replies: text: Good idea the code is simpler, but I suggest that we make these changes over at Template:User-multi so that they benefit all these user templates. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:07, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

message: This template is used heavily at Wikipedia:Missing_Wikipedians. The template there for regular accounts has a "count" link which would be a nice addition to this template. —rybec 18:41, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello there, I was wondering if it would be possible to change the last line ("Demo user is User:Example") to something like "User used for demonstration purposes in this documentation is User:Example" or "Demo user used is User:Example"? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 16:44, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
