1) The username is really just a text string, the value of which is copied
into the "modifier" field of a tiddler whenever that tiddler is edited.
2) The *display* of the username is defined in the core shadow:
[[$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/subtitle]], which contains:
------------
<div class="tc-subtitle">
<$link to={{!!modifier}}>
<$view field="modifier"/>
</$link> <$view field="modified" format="relativedate"/>
</div>
------------
This is the syntax that actually displays the username in the tiddler
subtitle:
<$view field="modifier"/>
Note that the output of the <$view> widget is normally just *plain text*...
thus, the wiki syntax contained in the username does not get parsed, and
the output shows the username value exactly as defined. However, it is a
simple matter to change this. Rather than using the <$view> widget to
display the modifier field, use transclusion, like this:
{{!!modifier}}
As with the <$view> widget, this will retrieve the value of the 'modifier'
field for the current tiddler, but will also then parse that field value so
that any wiki syntax it contains will be rendered as intended. Thus, if
you use "[[NRM|Contact]]" as your username, then it will display as just
"NRM", and link to the [[Contact]] tiddler. Q.E.D.
