Template:No talkback/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:No talkback. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | 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 this template is used in the standard installation of Twinkle. Thank you! |
This template, Script error: No such module "Template link general"., 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.
Contents
Usage
For users
To opt out of talkbacks from user scripts such as Twinkle, place
- Script error: No such module "Template link general".
on your user talk page (not your user page). You can optionally add a plain text message (no wikitext formatting, please):
- Script error: No such module "Template link general".
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
Script error: No such module "Template link general". 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.
