This is a documentation subpage for Template:USERNAME.
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.


{{USERNAME}} displays the username of the user viewing the page.

If the user is not logged in, then the template will display <insert name here>. You can control the text displayed by adding a parameter to the template with a value of the default text. For example, {{USERNAME|foo}} outputs "foo" if the user viewing it is not logged in.
