Retrieves the name of the Wiki_Ed/Wikipedia expert supporting the Wiki Ed course a student is enrolled in.

{{Your Wiki Ed expert}}

There is one optional named parameter. (An optional username param is forthcoming.)

• |type= – a token used to alter the wording; the Wikipedia expert may have a preceding appositive or not, may be linked, piped, or unlinked, and when linked may be pinged or not. Default: appositive, generating: your Wikipedia expert, ExpertName – i.e., with preceding appositive and expert username unlinked. See #1 in § Examples.
• |1= – optional student username (alias: |user=; default: user whose page the template is on)     (not implemented yet)

Simulated examples; these work properly when transcluded or substed on a User talk page of a Wiki Ed student:

1. please contact {{your Wiki Ed expert}} for assistance ⟶

   please contact your Wiki Ed expert, Sage (Wiki Ed) for assistance     (default: expert is named in plain text, unlinked, with preceding appositive)

2. {{your Wiki Ed expert|type=linked user}} ⟶

   [[User:Sage (Wiki Ed)]]     (generates a ping.)

3. {{your Wiki Ed expert|type=noping}} ⟶

       (Note: renders the same as linked user example #2 above, without generating a ping.)

4. {{your Wiki Ed expert|type=linked talk page}} ⟶

   [[User talk:Sage (Wiki Ed)|your Wiki Ed expert]]     (piped: unnamed, linked)

5. {{your Wiki Ed expert|type=linked appositive}} ⟶

   your Wiki Ed expert, [[User:Sage (Wiki Ed)]]     ( generates a ping.)

6. {{your Wiki Ed expert|type=noping appositive}} ⟶

       (Note: renders the same as linked appositive example #5 above, without generating a ping.)
