Template:No ping/doc

From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group

Purpose[edit]

This template links to a user page] or to multiple user pages, without triggering the notification system. It is not necessary to use this template if you are not signing your post as Notifications mentions only work with a signature included.

Usage[edit]

Basic usage:

{{no ping|username 1|username 2|...}}

By default, usernames are displayed, but this can be overridden with the |labeln= parameters.

{{no ping|username 1|label1=label 1|username 2|label2=label 2|...}}

Examples[edit]

Consequences[edit]

The template avoids notifications by making external links with code like <span class="plainlinks">[//www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/User:Username username]</span> instead of wikilinks like [[User:Username|Username]]. An external link icon is avoided with plainlinks but there are other consequences of not using a wikilink. The link will not be red for non-existing user pages, the blue link will have a lighter colour than usual for most readers, and the page the template is used on will not appear at Special:WhatLinksHere for the user page. The link is recognized by Navigational Popups, which handles it the way it would handle other links.
