==Instructions==
This template takes advantage of the new mention [[Wikipedia:Notifications|notification]] to ping the person you are replying to in a discussion (so you don't have to use the {{tl|talkback}} template). Right now it works on any talk page, and will soon work on Wikipedia namespace pages as well.
Β 
To use it, just add something like...<br/>
<code><nowiki>{{replyto|Someone}} Hey, that's a good point! ~~~~</nowiki></code><br/>
...in an existing discussion. Replace 'Someone' with the name of the user you are replying to. (The comment must be signed and belong to a section.)
Β 
You can also substitute the template, if preferred:<br/>
<code><nowiki>{{subst:replyto|Someone}} Hey, that's a good point! ~~~~</nowiki></code><br/>
</noinclude>
