{{Substitution|preferably}}
{{Notice|Click the <code>[subscribe]</code> link on the right of discussion section headings, as an alternative to this template, and get [[Wikipedia:Ping|pinged]] whenever anyone replies. '''See [[WP:SUBSCRIBE]]'''.}}
This template is intended to be used when you are replying on a high-volume discussion page, and intend not to add the page to your watchlist, instead expecting people to link to your user page when replying to you. It may be either substituted or transcluded, but is better substituted, as it will include your username and help talk pages load faster.

== Usage ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
: Your message {{subst:Please ping}} ~~~~
</syntaxhighlight>

This will result in the following being posted:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
: Your message (please [[File:OOUI icon userAdd-ltr.svg|14px|alt=Reply to icon|link=|class=skin-invert]] [[Help:Talk pages#Notifications|mention]] me on reply) [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 08:00, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
</syntaxhighlight>

Rendering as

: Your message {{Please ping}} [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 08:00, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

== Parameters ==
* <code>1</code>: If set to <code>no</code>, will display (no need to [[Template:Reply to|ping]] me on reply)
:Example: {{tlxs|Please ping|no}}
* <code>tps</code>: If set to <code>yes</code>, will display {{Please ping|tps=yes}}
