User:Vanisaac/Cross-wiki user
Usage
[edit ]This template provides links to user pages in other wikimedia projects: user page, talk page, contributions and watchlist. The watchlist will always be your personal watchlist at that project, regardless of the username specified for the other links.
Parameters:
1 = language code-project name. The hyphen "-" is necessary if both language and project are specified. Acceptable Wikimedia project names include all standard abbreviations, and language codes are not required. E.g. "en-wiktionary", "jp-wp", "commons". Language codes are not sanitized and will link to non-existent language versions, while ineligible project codes will default to Wikimedia.
2 = username. Defaults to the last person to edit the page. Should always be specified unless being used on personal user pages that are not edited by other users.
position = allows you to specify the position of the side box. Defaults to right.
