Note to Maintainer:

• This topic has user report sections intended for TWiki application developers.
• This topic uses more user friendly ParameterizedVariables %USERREPORT{ action="foo" … }% instead of the more verbose parameterized include %INCLUDE{ "%SYSTEMWEB%.UserReports" section="foo" … }%.
• If you add a section to this topic, or add a parameter to a section, make sure to keep the parameterized variables settings in TWikiPreferences in sync.
