සැකිල්ල:Talkback/doc

Purpose

Many users state that when they get a message, they will respond on your talk page instead of on their own. This makes reading back a conversation quite cumbersome; having to switch talk pages back and forth in order to make sense of the conversation. To this end, you can use this template to notify a user that you have responded to his/her message on your own talk page.

Usage

{{Talkback|your username}}
{{Talkback|your username|section}}

To have the links point to a non-user talk page, you must include the full talk page link.

{{Talkback|Talk:page name|section}}
{{Talkback|Wikipedia talk:page name|section}}

To include a timestamp, add ts=~~~~~ (five tildes).

{{Talkback|Talk:page name|section|ts=~~~~~}}
{{Talkback|your username|section|ts=~~~~~}}

For user talk pages, you can also use the {{mytalk}} template that will automatically add your username:

{{subst:mytalk}}
{{subst:mytalk|section}}
{{subst:mytalk|section|ts=~~~~~}}

Place the code on the talk page of the user you have answered to. The recipient may remove this template from his/her talk page at any time. A link to edit the first section of the talk page is shown within the template. The section parameter is optional; when you enter the name of the section on your talk page, it will directly link to that section.

Notes

• Do not substitute this template!
• This template may cause display errors if used in a section header; it is best to use it on a line by itself.
• If you are going to use this template, please consider putting the {{Usertalkback}} notice on your own talk page:

If I left you a message: please answer on your talk page, then place {{Talkback|your username}} on my talk. If you leave me a message: I will answer on my talk page, then place {{Talkback|Talkback}} on your talk. Please click here to leave me a new message.

You can do so by copying the following code at the very top of your talk page:

{{Usertalkback}}

• Other versions are possible, such as an asymmetrical one not requiring your interlocutors to use Talkback, provided that you watch their talk page for answers:

If I left you a message: please answer on your talk page, as I am watching it. If you leave me a message: I will answer on my talk page, then place {{Talkback|Talkback}} on your talk. Please click here to leave me a new message.

You can do so by copying the following code at the very top of your talk page:

{{Usertalkback|you=watched}}

• Another way, now less standard, was to use a notice:

You can do so by copying the following code:

{{Notice|'''If you leave me a message, I will respond ''here'' and will let you
know on your talk page using the {{tl|Talkback}} template.'''}}

• This template is very suited to be placed inside a person's shoutbox (if that user has one) instead of the talk page, because the shoutbox is periodically cleared. You can add a shoutbox to your self by adding {{subst:Shoutbox}} at the top of your talk page.
