Modification

Template:U can be modified to Uc, Ud, Ul, Un, Ut, Uv, Uw, Uwt, Uif, Ult or any other username template with a value of parameter m=

Namespace

± ("+" or "-" sign) to precede the user name with the namespace User:

+ ("plus" sign) to make User: a part of the link

- ("minus" sign) to precede User: as plain text

(if both signs are specified, "+" is used and "-" is ignored)
The +/- parameter can as well be specified with parameter 2, 3 or 4.

Prefixing

With a special prefix the value of parameter 1 can be flagged that it is textual instead of a user name. This prefix is removed before the text is displayed.
Such a prefix consists of 2 characters, either (), <>, [] or {} can be used, or ((, &&, << (easy on German keyboards), ~~, .. (easy on most keyboards).
