Template:No talkback

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you!

This template, {{no talkback}}, is used to invisibly mark the user talk pages of users who do not wish to receive {{talkback}} messages. When tools such as Twinkle detect this template on a user talk page, they present a notice prior to posting a talkback message to that user.

Usage

For users

To opt out of talkbacks from user scripts such as Twinkle, place

{{no talkback}}

on your user talk page (not your user page). You can optionally add a plain text message (no wikitext formatting, please):

{{no talkback|Don't darken my doorstep again}}

Since this template is invisible, it will not be of any use to users who leave a talkback by editing manually. It is recommended to accompany the use of this template with an editnotice, in order to inform manually-editing users that you don't want talkback messages.

This template only signifies your desire to opt out of the {{talkback}} template. It does not exclude you from other templated messages, such as speedy deletion notices or general warning templates.

For developers

{{no talkback}} adds an invisible external link to the page, of the form http://userjs.invalid/noTalkback (or http://userjs.invalid/noTalkback?reason=XYZ when a custom reason is given).

While this template was developed for Twinkle, other user scripts are welcome to use it. However, if you wish to add an opt-out from some other functionality (e.g. opt-out of AFD notices), it would be better to create another template for each opt-out, in order to provide maximum flexibility for users wishing to opt out.

{{Talkback}} – the original, large "you have new messages" notice to put on other users' talk pages
- {{subst:Mytalk}} – invokes the talkback template and automatically fills in your username
- {{Talkbacktiny}} – a somewhat smaller version of {{Talkback}}
{{Interwiki talkback}} – a "you have new messages" notice to put on other users' talk pages for interwiki purposes
{{Whisperback}} – a less obtrusive template than {{Talkback}}, with more features and without the box
{{You've got mail}} – like {{Talkback}} but to notify of an offsite e-mail
{{Please see}} – similar to {{Whisperback}}, but notifying others of a topic they may wish to participate in
- {{WikiProject please see}} – similar to {{Please see}}, but for use on WikiProject talk pages
{{Discussion notice}} – an alternative to {{Please see}}, similar to {{ANI-notice}}
{{Usertalkback}} and {{Userwhisperback}} – notices for the top of one's own user talk page, so as to inform your interlocutors of your user discussion preferences
{{FYI}} – icon box to give a visual hint to readers of talk page items
{{Notified}} – disclosure indicating that a notification has been posted on another page
{{Reply to}} – ping a user without posting on their talk page (uses the mentions notification)
{{Response}} – to direct the attention of another user to a discussion on a specific talk page
{{No talkback}} – opt-out of talkback messages from Twinkle
