Template:No ping
Script error: No such module "No ping".
Lua error in Module:Lua_banner at line 112: attempt to index field 'edit' (a nil value).
Purpose
editThis 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
editBasic 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{{no ping|Example|Example2}}
→ Script error: No such module "No ping".{{no ping|Example|label1=User 1|Example2|label2=User 2}}
→ Script error: No such module "No ping".
Consequences
editThe template avoids notifications by making external links with code like <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/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 color 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.
