Template:Uw-talkfork
Hi Uw-talkfork! I noticed that you recently started the same discussion in more than one place. For future reference, to help keep discussion centralized, please avoid this. Instead, open a discussion on just one page. You may invite more participation by adding a neutrally-worded invitation linking to it from other pages. (You can use template {{Please see|Destination page#Section}} for this).
Existing talk forks can be resolved by merging to a single destination: cut and paste the comments to move them from the source page to the destination page, leaving {{Moved discussion to|Destination page#Section|~~~~}} at the source and adding {{Moved discussion from|Source page#Section|~~~~}} at the destination. Thank you.
Template documentation | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Uw-talkfork}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
How to use:
{{subst:Uw-talkfork}}{{subst:Uw-talkfork||Additional text}}or{{subst:Uw-talkfork|2=Additional text}}adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"
- Please remember to substitute the template using
{{subst:Uw-talkfork}}rather than{{Uw-talkfork}}. - To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article and some additional text to the end of the template. If such article or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the article or the text with a named template parameter. Use "
1=" if the article contains an equals sign and use "2=" if the additional text contains an equals sign (such as a URL). - Please refer to the index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
