Template:Ping

Usage

This template triggers a notification to a user(s) you are replying to in a discussion.

This template is particularly helpful in discussions that are not threaded, to indicate which user's comment is referenced.

Note that it isn't necessary to use this template to ping the user if you are already linking to the username from your post.

Single recipient

Use the following syntax:

{{ping|Username}} Message text. ~~~~

For example, "{{ping|NeoMahler}}" generates "@NeoMahler:".

The comment must be signed and belong to a section in order for the notification to work.

Multiple recipients

You can reply to up to 10 people at once. Use the following syntax:

{{ping|User1|User2|User3|User4|User5|User6|User7|User8|User9|User10}} Message text. ~~~~

For example, {{ping|Example|NeoMahler}} will produce:

@Example and NeoMahler:
