Description Gerard Boyers 2012-01-28 12:33:13 UTC 
Suggestion to add a new magic word to display the avatar of a given user.

Such as: <nowiki>{{Special:Avatar/Username}} or {{#Avatar:Username}}</nowiki>

This would enable much greater interaction with social profiles throughout the wiki - in discussions, user listings, requests for adminship and other community business.

Should be able to specify a dimension (such as <nowiki>{{Special:Avatar/Username|200px}}</nowiki>

Ideally would be able to do #ifexist on this to be able to determine whether an avatar exists.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2012-02-09 23:48:26 UTC 
I'd recommend {{#avatar:Username}}, {{#avatar:Username|64px}} etc.

Not sure how #ifexist would fit in here... presumably you should get a generic icon if the user doesn't have one.

Possibly another parser function like {{#hasavatar:Username|then|else}} ?
