Talk:Text lines are cool

It is ugly to add a User: prefix in a visible text in a link. --(this comment by Unname4798 at 14:40, 13 August 2024‎ UTC; please sign your comments with ~~~~)

It is more important that people know where links are going – in particular, a User: page isn't held to the same standards as a mainspace article. You can see Esolang:Authors and Esolang talk:Authors for a discussion about this that was held early in the history of the wiki, and has been enforced as policy for almost 19 years now. --ais523 14:51, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

However, some user pages aren't about the user, but instead they're about a programming language or a concept, as in User:Language. Codd (talk) 02:23, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
