Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:@/doc. [edit] [history] [purge]
Template:@ invokes function replyto in Module:@ using Lua.

This template can be used to mention users on talk pages, in order to ensure the user that is being responded to gets a notification of your response. It can be added using {{@|Username}} to insert a link to their userpage.

The edit that adds this template must meet the following requirement for notifications to work:

  • The edit must add new lines of text, not just edit existing lines.
  • The edit must be signed by adding ~~~~ to the end of the message.
  • The edit must either be entirely within an existing sections (it cannot have new section headers in the middle) or start a new section (starts with a new section header).
    • Only sections of level 2 and above count

Note that the "@" symbol is for cosmetic purposes in this template.

The template does not work for pinging unregistered users; replies should be placed on their talk page instead.
