This template is meant to be
subst:ed
on the talk pages of users whose attention you would like to draw to a discussion, or on the talk pages of other pages whose watchers might have an interest in the discussion. Please read
Wikipedia:Canvassing
before using this template. The
|location=
parameter is for the page at which the discussion is taking place. For the convenience of the recipient, be sure to
link directly to the section header
.
The
|heading=
parameter may be used for a concise,
neutral
description of the heading under discussion. The
|more=
parameter is an option chance to add a little more discussion to the invitation. These can be helpful when the section title alone might not sufficiently communicate what a discussion is about, as editors are more likely to take up an invite if this is made clear. Using an edit summary like
Invite to [[Link to discussion|discussion on topic]]
can also help make invites more effective, as it allows recipients to follow them directly from their watchlist.
This template will automatically add your signature ("~~~~"), so please do
not
add it.
Afterwards, you may use
{{
subst:Notified
}}
at the discussion page to inform the discussion participants of your notification.

Examples
Detailed example
For example, you wanted to discuss the deletion and redirecting of the article
Pussycat
to the article
Cat
. A discussion could take place at
Talk:Pussycat#Let's delete Pussycat!
; you could then place the wikitext
{{
subst
:
Please see
|
Talk:Pussycat#Let's delete Pussycat!
}}
in the
Talk:Cat
page. When the edit was saved, it would substitute it with the text:
==Discussion at Talk:Pussycat#Let's delete Pussycat!==
