From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This user has opted out of talkbacks
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.
