Additional information
The template is intended to be used in the following namespaces: the User namespace
The template is intended to be used by the following user groups: no user group specified
Many users own in the Commons just a User Talk page, but no User page.
 | Users not wanting to own a user page should at least create a #REDIRECT to their talk page, to avoid the redlinks |
- The template {{Uc}} checks whether the user page exists, and links to it if yes.
- Otherwise it checks whether the user talk page exists, and links to it if yes.
- Otherwise it checks whether the user~commonswiki page exists, and links to it if yes.
- Otherwise it checks whether the user~commonswiki talk page exists, and links to it if yes.
- Otherwise it links to the special page "user contributions".
- Otherwise it checks whether the user~commonswiki talk page exists, and links to it if yes.
- Otherwise it checks whether the user~commonswiki page exists, and links to it if yes.
- Otherwise it checks whether the user talk page exists, and links to it if yes.
- If later the other pages are created, it prefers automatically what first can be found.
- Since existence checks are not possible for other Wikipedias, these checks are performed only when no language code is specified.
