Talk:Requests for comment/Notifications in core

Moving the "Reply to" template into software
One additional task that needs to be done is that the functionality of the Reply to template (also known as the ping template), should be moved into the software somehow so that it isn't necessary to actually have a "reply to" template in order to ping people in discussions. Perhaps it should be implemented as a parser function or something similar. Kaldari (talk) 22:20, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The RfC says mention notifications would be left in the extension. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 22:24, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It's already not necessary to use the template. However, User:Legoktm has a proposal to introduce a parser function for this, rather than links.  There are pros and cons.  Probably mostly a win. Mattflaschen-WMF (talk) 23:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
