{{Ping}}
Description[edit source]
This template is used to trigger notifications for users when replying to a thread on a talk page or other discussion noticeboard. Normally, this can be accomplished simply by adding a link to the user's userpage (e.g. [[User:Example|Example]]
. This template simplifies the process and adds an "@" symbol at the beginning to make it a little more aesthetically pleasing.
Usage[edit source]
{{reply to|Username}} Message text. ~~~~
The edit that adds this template must meet the following requirement for notifications to work:
- The edit must add new lines of text, not just edit existing lines.
- The edit must be signed by adding
~~~~
to the end of the message.- If you have specified a custom signature, it must contain a plain wiki link (
[[ ]]
) to your user page, user talk page, or contributions page; it cannot be embedded in a template.
- If you have specified a custom signature, it must contain a plain wiki link (
- The edit must either be entirely within an existing sections (it cannot have new section headers in the middle) or start a new section (starts with a new section header).
- Only sections of level 2 and above count.
- If the number of detected to-be-pinged users exceeds 50, no notifications will be delivered.
You can also ping multiple users, up to a maximum of 50.
