Description[edit source]

This module is used by Template:Reply to to trigger notifications in talk page discussions.

Usage within templates[edit source]

{{#invoke:Reply to|replyto|<noinclude>example=example name</noinclude>|max=maximum number of names}}
  • The example parameter sets the name that will show when the template page is viewed. This parameter should be surrounded by <noinclude></noinclude> so that it is not transcluded with the parent template, and the parent template will show an error message if no names are specified.
  • The max parameter sets the maximum number of names that the template will accept. If not specified, it defaults to 50 (which is the maximum number that Echo currently supports). If this number of names is exceeded, the parent template will return an error message.
