He's pretty gnomish.

He also talks about himself in the third person for some reason.

Pictorial analogy

Don't use {{ping}}

[edit]

Hey @Example:, here's the solution to your problem...

I see this kind of message on discussion pages a lot. This usage of {{ping}} is unsightly.

(Even when it's used correctly, as in @Example: Here's the solution to your problem..., I find @ to be clunky and unnecessary.)

There is nothing special about {{ping}}. A link to User:Example followed by a link to your userpage and a timestamp (i.e., a signature) pings Example. That's all.

Actually, usage of {{ping}} can be misleading. New users sometimes see the familiar social-media format and assume that @ is a magic character.

Consider instead using {{u}}, which is just a shorter way of writing a piped userpage link:

Markup Renders as
{{u|Example}}, here's the solution to your problem...

Example, here's the solution to your problem...

Or, if it flows better, use {{bcc}}, which doesn't display at all:

Markup Renders as
{{bcc|Example}} Here's the solution to your problem...

Here's the solution to your problem...
