== Purpose ==<br />
This template was created for '''user talk''' pages, to let a user know that you are watching their page. This is designed to keep conversations from ping-ponging back and forth, but this is simpler than talkback-related templates. Ideally, this is used only on the first message of a conversation that a user leaves for another user, to instruct the receiving user where to reply.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
* {{demo-inline|<nowiki>{{Watching}}</nowiki>}}<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
* Typing: <code><nowiki>What do you think of the article? {{Watching}} ~~~~</nowiki></code><br />
: will yield: What do you think of the article? {{Watching}} [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)<br />
