Don't use {{
ping
}}

Hey @Example:, here's the solution to your problem...

I see this kind of message on discussion pages a lot. This usage of {{

ping

}} is unsightly.

(Even when it's used correctly, as in @Example: Here's the solution to your problem..., I find @ to be clunky and unnecessary.)

There is nothing special about {{

ping}}. A link to User:Example

followed by a link to your userpage and a timestamp (i.e., a signature) pings Example. That's all.

Actually, usage of {{

ping

}} can be misleading. New users sometimes see the familiar social-media format and assume that @ is a magic character.

Consider instead using {{

u

}}, which is just a shorter way of writing a piped userpage link:

Markup	Renders as
{{u\|Example}}, here's the solution to your problem...	Example, here's the solution to your problem...

Or, if it flows better, use {{

bcc

}}, which doesn't display at all:

Markup	Renders as
{{bcc\|Example}} Here's the solution to your problem...	Here's the solution to your problem...
