Template:wgping/documentation

	Documentation for Template:wgping. [edit]
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Uses Lua:

• Module:workgroup ping

This template can be used to notify users interested in a particular topic. To use it, substitute it while passing work group identifiers as positional parameters:

{{subst:wgping|wikisaurus|en-idioms}}

Individual users can also be mentioned, by prefixing their names with "User:". The user who wrote the message will be omitted from the list of users to ping; this is detected through checking the {{REVISIONUSER}} variable.

The usual technical limitations of ping notifications apply. Do not forget to sign your message, otherwise the ping will not be received. In order to maintain historical accuracy (i.e. the list of users shall not change over time after the post was made), this template must be substituted. If you find find a template which was not properly substituted, use {{subst:wgping|fix=1}} to fix it.

The |u1=, |u2=, etc. parameters are strictly for internal use by the template and should not be entered manually.

Improper uses of this template trigger filter #36.
