A little more context is needed is this a public wiki? is the template in a ref tag? have you tried using just the user link creation by itself (in case other template markup is breaking it)?

I've been having difficulties assembling internal links within templates.

A standard link such as [[User:Alice|Alice]] works just fine. But if I try to do something like:

[[User:{{{user|Unknown}}}|{{{user|Unknown}}}]]

I get the content of the parameter "user" to appear, but it won't be a link. Similarly, I tried to use

[[User:{{safesubst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{safesubst:REVISIONUSER}}]]

to provide a link to the user who added the template, but it doesn't seem to work either, no matter which combinations of <includeonly> tags I try.

Thoughts?

Kind regards,
