Description

This template inserts a box in your User page, with quick informations and some links about you.

You can enter your country, state, region, department, county, city..

Each unused value will simply be unused.

You can also tell your prefered GPS device and OSM editor.

Arguments

• name (optional) your real name
• osmname (optional) your OSM user account as in url, but with spaces replaced by %20 or _ (due to a past non-implementation of the StringFunction extension on the wiki, the transformation could not be done automaticaly.) — obsolete parameter, the default osmname value should be {{BASEPAGENAMEE}} instead of {{BASEPAGENAME}}, to convert spaces in usernames to underscores, and does not require any StringFunction extension.
