Template talk:No ping

Protected edit request on 23 January 2014

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please either lower the protection level to TE or modify the template as follows:

<span class="plainlinks">[{{canonicalurl:User:{{{1|Example}}}}} {{{2|User:{{{1|Example}}}}}}]</span><noinclude>
<!-- This does not handle the link colours correctly. Does anybody know how to override default external link colours? -->

should be replaced with:

{{Plainlinks|url={{canonicalurl:User:{{{1|Example}}}}}|name={{{label1|User:{{{1|Example}}}}}}}}{{#ifeq:{{{2|}}}|||&#32;& {{Plainlinks|url={{canonicalurl:User:{{{2|Example}}}}}|name={{{label2|User:{{{2|Example}}}}}}}}}}{{#ifeq:{{{3|}}}|||&#32;& {{Plainlinks|url={{canonicalurl:User:{{{3|Example}}}}}|name={{{label3|User:{{{3|Example}}}}}}}}}}{{#ifeq:{{{4|}}}|||&#32;& {{Plainlinks|url={{canonicalurl:User:{{{4|Example}}}}}|name={{{label4|User:{{{4|Example}}}}}}}}}}{{#ifeq:{{{5|}}}|||&#32;& {{Plainlinks|url={{canonicalurl:User:{{{5|Example}}}}}|name={{{label5|User:{{{5|Example}}}}}}}}}}<noinclude>

As seen in the sandbox and displayed on the testcases page, also removing the highlighted line in the first snippit as that comment is no longer needed. Technical 13 (talk) 17:08, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template protection was lowered to Template editor and I made the change myself. I'm not happy with the & separators, and do intend on replacing them with proper , including an and for the last one. What would be great would be if someone like Mr. Stradivarius could convert this to Lua (sorry to always pick on you, but I don't know anyone else that is as willing to convert stuff, perhaps this would make a good learning project for me with your guidance when I have a little time?) so that the limit of users to link without pinging wouldn't exist and proper comma separation would always be there?

Pings being sent by noping

Noping currently appears to be broken. After testing here, I got a notification saying, "your mention of Example user was sent". This follows the recent discussion at WT:Notifications#Checkuser and admin questions. Burninthruthesky (talk) 12:54, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted Jc86035's edit. I confirmed that the modification caused the template to ping users on testwiki. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:33, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JJMC89: Testing {{noping2}}, which I also modified: Example (talk · contribs). I assume this is because generating a Lua title object causes the user to be pinged. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

I've reverted my edit on {{noping2}} as well, since for some reason #ifexist also triggers a notification. Is this a bug or a feature? Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

Support. Currently sounds like it's to tell somebody "nope." Hyperbolick (talk) 20:57, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't thought of that, indeed the new title is more recognizable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:03, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if that's something worth fixing, but figured I may as well point it out. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding appropriate use section

I recently came across an instance in which I thought this template was used inappropriately, and it occurs to me that the documentation here ought to offer some guidance on when it is/isn't appropriate to use this. Here's what I'd propose for that:

As transparency is a core value of Wikipedia, please be cautious when using this template. It is fine to use it to avoid bothering an editor about something in which there is no reasonable expectation they would be interested. On the other hand, using it when criticizing another editor will often be perceived negatively, as not notifying them denies them the chance to respond.

That wording doesn't establish any firm rules, but hopefully still gets across that {{no ping|Example}} is an idiot! isn't a great idea. Does that jive with others' understanding of best practice? I'll add it if so. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 19:53, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 20:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
