Purpose
[edit]You can use this template to notify a user that you have responded to their message on your own talk page on another WikiProject.
Usage
[edit]placed under a new section at the bottom of the recipient user talk page. To use this template to inform your intended Wikipedian of a message on a talk page on another project:
- Go to the target talk page.
- On the top of the page, click on "New Section" button/link. It should look like this:
- In the "Subject/headline" box, type a descriptive title.
- In the message section, enter the following:
{{Interwiki talkback|page=|project=|section=}}
The first two parameters are mandatory, butsection
can be left empty. - Save the page.
Wikipedia will notify the recipient of having a new message in their talk page. When they visit their talk page, they should see your notice and (hopefully) follow the link to your user talk page.
- Optional form: This form is complete. It adds a timestamp:
Instead of five tildes (~~~~~), you can enter any date and time.{{Interwiki talkback|page=|project=|section=|ts=~~~~~}}
Notes
[edit]- Do not substitute this template!
- Do not insert this template in a section header; use it on a line by itself
