Bug report: Problem regarding users with spaces in their username
editI would like to report a bug, to further improve this template.
The bug is as follows: if a user with the username e.g. SpaceAfterThis SpaceBeforeThis (note the space in the username), uses the template; there will be a link generated which wrongly re-directs to SpaceAfterThis+SpaceBeforeThis (note the "plus"-sign in the username). This is not the same as the previous username and will not be recognized as the previous one. If the second username is non-existent, the following error will be shown:
There is no global account for "SpaceAfterThis+SpaceBeforeThis"
Perhaps a solution for this could be devised? Thank you for any consideration. (Verheyen Vincent (talk) 07:22, 12 August 2016 (UTC))
