<p>Regarding the proposed syntax with id (user:107353), even if it's easy to be added, I think that it is not worth it because is hard to retain the ids. For example, I don't know my user id from the instance that I administrate for more than 3 years.</p>
<p>Even if the syntax with @ required some changes in the wiki formatting (to support logins name with @), I really think that is it important to have it because the syntax "@user" is very well known and used by many applications (like: Github, Gitlab, etc).</p>
<p>This is another top voted feature, maybe we can include this in <a class="version" href="https://www.redmine.org/versions/119">3.4.0</a> in order to work at the mention feature (<a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Mention user on issues and wiki pages using @user with autocomplete (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/13919">#13919</a>) in version:3.5.0. These 2 features will improve the collaboration level.</p> Redmine - Feature #4179: Link to user in wiki syntaxhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4179?journal_id=784612017-05-09T14:47:33ZGo MAEDA
<ul></ul><p>Marius BALTEANU, thank you for the patch. I really want this feature.</p>
<p>But I am not certain about whether the proposed implementation is proper or not because User#login is treated as secret information in the current implementation of Redmine. Please see <a class="source" href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/16464/entry/trunk/app/views/users/show.html.erb#L9">source:trunk/app/views/users/show.html.erb@16464#L9</a>. Only admin can see User#login.</p> Redmine - Feature #4179: Link to user in wiki syntaxhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4179?journal_id=784642017-05-09T19:37:16ZMarius BĂLTEANU
<ul></ul>Unfortunately, I don't see to many alternatives for the implementation:
<ol>
<li>First Name and Last Name cannot be used, it is hard to find a user after these properties and also, they are not unique. </li>
<li>ID could be a solution, but without an autocomplete feature to search users like in the watchers modals it'll be hard to find their ids. Also, I find it quite strange to see "user:107353" in texts comments/wikis. </li>
<li>Email addresses, but the users have the option to hide this attribute.</li>
</ol>
<p>From my point of view, User#login is the best solution and I do not see to many disadvantages because:<br />- in many companies, you can easily guess the login name of your colleagues because they have the same format<br />- comparing with the Last Name, First Name or the email addresses, it is less considered personal data.<br />Of course, if you get the login name of another user, you can try some brute force to login with his user, but this "security" issue can be prevented using a mechanism like Captcha.</p>
<p>@Go Maeda, how do you see this implementation? I'm open to create a patch only with "user:id", but I want some feedback before. In this note (<a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Patch: Redmine link to user profile (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/6690#note-2">#6690#note-2</a>), Jean-Philippe Lang said only about the user.visible? check that wasn't implemented in the respective patch.</p> Redmine - Feature #4179: Link to user in wiki syntaxhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4179?journal_id=785002017-05-12T02:49:41ZGo MAEDA

<p>I prefer using User#login as you suggested but it violates current design.<br />I think we should change current design of Redmine. That is, Stop handling user#login as secret information.

<ul></ul><p>In my company we have <strong>firstname.lastname</strong> as a default for user logins. Nevertheless, we have a wiki page that lists all logins so we can mention them if anyone forgets anything.<br />As you can see, we don't think displaying user logins is such a problem. I understand it could be a security issue, but I'm not worried about that. We encourage people to change passwords every now and then.</p>

<p>I'm glad to see this integrated. However, the current implementation is practically useless to all sites that use a user format (display name) other than the one consisting of the user login, as (regular) users won't be able to retrieve the user logins under such circumstances. This can be prevented by also adding support for a numerical variant of the link (<a class="user active" href="https://www.redmine.org/users/64186">ingo denner</a> or more preferable user#id) like eg. provided by Marius' additional patch attached in note-56. Would you please consider that for inclusion into <a class="version" href="https://www.redmine.org/versions/119">3.4.0</a>?</p>

<p>Thanks. I've had a look at it and it seems okay. One note though: all link keywords that take a numerical id are using <code>#</code> as the separator whereas the ones that take a name, instead use the <code>:</code> separator. With your patch (as also proposed by the OP of this issue) we diverge from this convention. Maybe it's better to use <code>user#id</code> along with <code>user:login</code> and <code>@login</code>.

<p>@Jean-Philippe: I think that this issue would be completely implemented for <a class="version" href="https://www.redmine.org/versions/119">3.4.0</a> when note-65 (instead of note-56) patch gets integrated along with <a class="changeset" title="Link to user in wiki syntax (#4179).

<p>@Vu Anh: you can alternatively use the short syntax (<code>@abc@example.com</code>), which should work fine.</p> Redmine - Feature #4179: Link to user in wiki syntaxhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4179?journal_id=812572017-09-24T11:46:52ZGo MAEDA
