==Instructions== | |||
This template takes advantage of the new mention [[Wikipedia:Notifications|notification]] to ping the user(s) you are replying to in a discussion (so you don't have to use the {{tl|talkback}} template). It works on any talk page or Wikipedia namespace page. | |||
''Note that it isn't necessary to use this template in order to ping the user if you are already linking to their username from your post.'' | |||
====Single recipient==== | |||
To use it, just add something like the following to an existing discussion:<br/> | |||
<nowiki>{{replyto|Cool Hand Luke}} What we've got here is failure to communicate! ~~~~</nowiki> | |||
The comment must be signed and belong to a section in order for the notification to work. | |||
You can also substitute the template, if you prefer:<br/> | |||
<nowiki>{{subst:replyto|Scarlett O'Hara}} Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. ~~~~</nowiki> | |||
====Multiple recipients==== | |||
You can reply to up to 5 people at once:<br/> | |||
<nowiki>{{replyto|Larry|Moe|Curly}} Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk! ~~~~</nowiki> | |||
</noinclude> | |||
