Site markup query

Just wanted to ask what the Dreamwidth site markup code is for communities, as I can't find an answer on the relevant FAQ page & my attempts to use:

[comm name=" "]
or
[comm=" "]

failed. Anyone know the correct markup?

And yes I have used [ ] in lieu of <> just for this post.

Testing, testing <lj user="getting_started" site="dreamwidth.org".

Whoops!

[community profile] getting_started

That does seem to do it though: <lj user="getting_started" site="dreamwidth.org">

Except that it has the little user icon instead of the comm one.

Maybe [community profile] getting_started?

I did comm instead of user and still get the little head.

I don't know - I'm new here, too. :)

You don't need the site=dreamwidth.org if it's on DW! Just <user name=getting_started>.

It's exactly the same for users, communities, or feeds -- [user name="foo"].

I know! In 7 years on LJ, I don't think I *ever* remembered without having to second-guess myself whether it was supposed to be comm or community, or I'd just use user out of autotyping habit, and it would fail -- even though there's only account with that name in the database, so why not just take me there?

I haven't had that problem for a long time now? LJ automatically changes user to a community if it is a comm.

Um, yeah, I joined LJ in 2004, and lj user="commname" worked back then, the comm= was only required for a very brief period.

There's no specific "community" markup - it's just [user name="comm_name"] [community profile] getting_started. You're supposed to be able to use LJ markup generally, though, so I'm guessing that [lj comm="comm_name"] should work too - [community profile] getting_started - or even [lj user="comm_name"] [community profile] getting_started.
