REVISIONUSER
edit{{REVISIONUSER}} in this template won't work as you expect. The magic word always evaluates to the user who stored the revision you're actually looking at. E.g., while it will display my name once I post it here, as soon as anybody else replies here it will display their name: "{{REVISIONUSER}}
" → "Zinnober9"
If you want to get the name of the person posting it to appear on the page permanently, you need to write it into the source of the page, and there are only three way to do that: Typing it manually, using three tildes, or substing a template (and through it either REVISIONUSER or tildes) onto the page.

- Actually, it does work. The REVISIONUSER updates before the template is subst:, so it will reflect the correct user. —mc10 (t/c) 22:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
