Created page with "{{lua|Module:No ping}} This template links to a user page, or to multiple user pages, without triggering the Wikipedia:Notifications|Echo notificat..."

New page

{{lua|Module:No ping}}

This template links to a [[Wikipedia:User pages|user page]], or to multiple user pages, without triggering the [[Wikipedia:Notifications|Echo notification system]]. It is not necessary to use this template if you are not [[Wikipedia:Signatures|signing your post]], as Echo mentions only work with a signature included.

== Usage ==

Basic usage:

{{noping|''username 1''|''username 2''|...}}

By default, usernames are displayed, but this can be overridden with the {{para|label''n''}} parameters.

{{noping|''username 1''|label1=''label 1''|''username 2''|label2=''label 2''|...}}

== Examples ==

* <code><nowiki>{{noping|Example|Example2}}</nowiki></code> → {{noping|Example|Example2}}
* <code><nowiki>{{noping|Example|label1=User 1|Example2|label2=User 2}}</nowiki></code> → {{noping|Example|label1=User 1|Example2|label2=User 2}}
