Description giesler 2006-01-22 22:04:39 UTC
{{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/~~~

You want to link to the current user's user page or talk page?
[[Special:Mypage]] and [[Special:Mytalk]] should be your friends.

Closing WORKSFORME.
