In Wikimedia Projects (including wikipedia) you can access a user's page, pressing in the link that appears in the user's signature.


User is also a common term for someone who takes drugs, especially illegal ones.

When spoken with a particular affect in certain hacker contexts, the meaning is not unlike the immediately above use of user. See the jargon file definition of user.
