Template:wgping/documentation

This template can be used to notify users interested in a particular topic. To use it, substitute it while passing work group identifiers as positional parameters:

Individual users can also be mentioned, by prefixing their names with " ". The user who wrote the message will be omitted from the list of users to ping; this is detected through checking the variable.

The usual technical limitations of ping notifications apply. Do not forget to sign your message, otherwise the ping will not be received. In order to maintain historical accuracy (i.e. the list of users shall not change over time after the post was made), this template must be substituted. If you find find a template which was not properly substituted, use to fix it.

The u1, u2, etc. parameters are strictly for internal use by the template and should not be entered manually.

Improper uses of this template trigger filter #36.
