Template:Pong

 Example:

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

Purpose

{{ping}} is very close to {{pong}}—since I and O are very close on the QWERTY keyboard it's a common and readily made typo. This vanity template takes advantage of this fact in a humorous manner by providing an alternative Echo-enabled way of pinging other users. It can be used either in place of {{ping}} or as a reply-to template when responding ("ponging") to other user's pings.

Parameters

Requires at least 1 unnamed parameter: the user name being notified. Takes up to 10 user names

{{Pong|User name 1|User name 2|...|User name 10}}

Usage

• {{Pong|Example}} →  Example:
