Template:Ping

@Someone:

Instructions

This template takes advantage of the new mention notification to ping the person you are replying to in a discussion (so you don't have to use the {{talkback}} template). Right now it works on any talk page, and will soon work on Wikipedia namespace pages as well.

To use it, just add something like the following to an existing discussion:

{{replyto|Cool Hand Luke}} What we've got here is failure to communicate! ~~~~

Replace 'Cool Hand Luke' with the name of the user you are replying to. (The comment must be signed and belong to a section in order for the notification to work.)

You can reply to up to 3 people at once:

{{replyto|Larry|Moe|Curly}} Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk! ~~~~

You can also substitute the template, if preferred:

{{subst:replyto|Scarlett O'Hara}} Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. ~~~~
