This template should use Template:Time ago to calculate the time, instead of whatever it is using now, as it only shows the time in minutes. This isn't useful if the value is 10000 minutes; how do we know how long ago that was? Gary King (talk) 19:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can we replace REVISIONUSER with ~~~? Right now the template breaks (gets broken down into a list) anytime I use it. I've had this username for more than five years. I don't wish to change it now. --*Kat* (talk) 05:45, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please review the sandbox diff here. It wraps calls to {{REVISIONUSER}}
with {{#invoke:String2|nowiki|...}}
in four places so it looks like {{#invoke:String2|nowiki|{{REVISIONUSER}}}}
.
With this change, pages which were last modified by users whose names start with *
work properly with this template. Well, I assume they do, but I can't test it directly. You may need to have it "go live" to test, or have a user whose name starts with * create a page that includes Template:Last edited by/sandbox that you can test against.
The wrapper code above can be seen working properly at the documentation page of Template:REVISIONUSER (doc).
I'm not sure if it will be the case when someone sees this, but as of a few minutes ago, Draft:List of sex symbols was last edited by *Treker. That page uses this template by way of {{draft}}. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:05, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Almost all of the mainspace uses of this template are in through Template:Under construction. The small tags in this template are applied twice when used there, which brings the (Update timer) display below MOS:SMALL recommendation of 85% text size. In the sandbox, I have removed the small tags. (diff) I think this change should be fairly uncontroversial. — Goszei (talk) 21:31, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at Template:Newspaper of record, the {{Draft template}} there employs {{last edited by}} to render this message:
however the last edit there was on 18 October. So something is off somewhere. Adding Sdkb. Mathglot (talk) 22:14, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
