Template:Whisperback/doc

The Whisperback template is a less distracting and intrusive alternative to Talkback and related templates. The usage examples below are pretty self-explanatory (look at where the links go, too), except that you'll need to replace "Example" with your real username.

Parameter examples

 * Link to the Example topic section on ExampleUser's talk page:
 * ExampleUser


 * The bare minimum form, which simply links to ExampleUser's talk page; deprecated because it make the user hunt for your message:
 * ExampleUser


 * Link to a non-user-talk page (with or without a section link; shown with one, which is preferred):
 * Cyber Nations Wiki:Requests for Adminship


 * Customize the text shown for the link using the linkname parameter:
 * ExampleUser'''


 * Customize the text shown for what is waiting (which defaults to "new messages") using the things parameter:
 * Cyber Nations Wiki:Requests for Adminship'''


 * Specify who you are addressing using the greet parameter:
 * Linking in this parameter is discouraged, as the point of this template is to be simple and only link to one thing, the discussion you're notifying someone about.
 * Cyber Nations Wiki:Requests for Adminship:


 * Say what the message (vs. the topic section) is about with the about parameter:
 * Linking in this parameter is discouraged, as the point of this template is to be simple and only link to one thing, the discussion you're notifying someone about.
 * ExampleUser


 * Add a timestamp at the end using the ts parameter:
 * ExampleUser''' (5 tildes; deprecated and only for Talkback compatibility – normally you'd just sign after it like any other post, and not use this.)
