Template:Reply to/doc

Usage

This template should only be used in discussions that are not threaded, to indicate which discussion is referenced. It should not be used as a replacement for the {{talkback}} template to indicate that you have replied to a comment.

Note that it isn't necessary to use this template to indicate the user if you are already linking to their username from your post.

Single recipient

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

{{reply to|User1}} Message text. ~~~~

For example, ":{{reply to|Jimbo Wales}} Message text." displays as:

@Jimbo Wales: Message text.

The comment must be signed and belong to a section in order for the indication to work.

Multiple recipients

You can reply to up to 5 people at once:

{{reply to|User1|UserII|UserC}} Message text. ~~~~
