Add {{CURRENTUSER}} magic word
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Author: giesler

Description:
{{CURRENTUSER}} or {{CURRENTID}} should be a magic word which returns the name of the
current user.
Although there is still something comparable, we can type "~~~" into the edit window
and we will get a link to the current user's page but this won't enable to jump to a
user's page going .../index.php/~~~
