==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>
