Your ping didn't work
[edit][1] it doesn't work like this, please read the documentation. Stryn (talk) 16:11, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Stryn--thanks for the head's up, but I'm not following why you suspect that the ping was not delivered; that syntax used to work in the past, though I know that the functionality has varied over the years. But the documentation doesn't seem to give much indication as to why you are certain the pings were not delivered. Do you mean that, because I added the three names to the template in a separate post, the delivery system will not register it as a new reference to ping for that second group of editors? Whatever the case, I appreciate your having reached out to let me know. Snow Rise (talk) 20:57, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, Template:Reply to tells that "If the edit does not add a new signature to the page, no notification will be sent". When you edited your message, you didn't add a new signature, so the users you added in your edit didn't get a ping. It has always worked like this. Stryn (talk) 12:35, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
