Install this theme component
Clean Share URL adds an optional setting under Preferences → Interface:
Hide my username in shared links
By default, Discourse’s behavior remains unchanged:
/t/topic/123?u=username
When a user enables the preference, the component removes the u parameter:
/t/topic/123
Other users continue to receive share attribution and related badge progress normally.
Configuration
Before using the component, create an optional, editable Confirmation / Checkbox custom user field.(/admin/config/user-fields)
Find its numeric ID in the field’s edit URL and enter that number in the component’s clean_share_url setting.
