Template talk:User5

message: Since  is used extensively at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets, it would be very helpful to have one more link at the end to find any checkuser page that exists for the user.  The following code should be added just before the final parenthesis: • 
 would then result in:Jimbo Wales (talk • contribs • [/wiki/Special:Log/move?user= page moves] • block user • [/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User: block log] • )
For an example of this button in actual use, see , which looks for a background of disputes:

message: I like the concept of the conditional links, but the last change is messing up WP:SSP. Please revert. --Akhilleus (talk) 19:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, reverted. What was it doing to the page? Neil (not Proto ►) 20:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it looks like it's still happening, at least on my computer--go to the SSP page, scroll down to the Classicjupiter2 case, and the listing for Protector777 is munged, and the cases after that don't display properly. Weird thing is, things look ok on the case subpage. --Akhilleus (talk) 20:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the template for Protector777 from user5 to usercheck at the case subpage (Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Classicjupiter2), and the SSP page displays properly now. Still, it seems like there's some bug with user5. --Akhilleus (talk) 21:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Should be ok now ... I think. Neil (not Proto ►) 18:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Done. Although it required me to purge the cache before the changes took effect. Cheers. --MZMcBride 03:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The template fails to close the  around the links.
Note  this link should have an external link indicator and does not.
Please add  immediately before the closing parenthesis ). —Random832 19:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This template is responsible for several pages in :Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls. The ifexist call will need to be removed. I suggest simply replacing the RFCU conditional with an unconditional link. If the link is red, people will realize that means the page doesn't exist. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  ifexist needs to go 

message: Attempting to report suspected sockpuppet User:*myl2000*, I found the user5 template is broken for names that begin with *. Displays like so:
    [[User:
    * myl2000*|
    * myl2000*]] ([[User talk:
    * myl2000*|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/
    * myl2000*|contribs]] · [[Special:DeletedContributions/
    * myl2000*|deleted contribs]] · page moves · [[Special:Blockip/
    * myl2000*|block user]] · block log)
Is there a workaround or what do I need to do to fix this? Thanks! TheMolecularMan (talk) 00:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

message: RFCU is no more, so the rfcu ink in this template is obsolete, and should be removed, Mayalld (talk) 14:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: for now. The RfCU links will still be valid for the pre-migration cases. Best,  PeterSymonds (talk) 01:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I've removed it - I don't think we should keep these links to an obsolete process forever. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:38, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
