Usage

{{Forums user|1|Cryptite}}

Renders as: Cryptite

The first unnamed parameter (or id) is the member's numeric forums user ID — visible in their profile URL, e.g. 1 for https://forums.lokamc.com/members/1. There's no way to look up a display name from the ID alone (this install has no extension that can fetch external data), so the second unnamed parameter (or name) is also required — without it, the ID itself is shown as a fallback.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`id`	The member's numeric forums user ID. Required. The first unnamed parameter also works.
`name`	The member's display name. Falls back to the raw ID if omitted. The second unnamed parameter also works.
