I had a question about the argument for users/%. Sometimes it's the first and last name of the user (e.g. users/johnsmith) and for some users it's the uid (e.g. users/234).

I was wondering how it's determined which one is used for which user. Or is this something related to the profile module? I'm mainly asking because I want to create a link to users' profile using views, but I'm not quite sure how to determine which argument to use in a custom link output.

The argument for the handler in APK is the UID, because it takes over the user/UID path. You can alias it to users/johnsmith but that's just an alias, not the internal path which has the argument. You can link to it using either.
