Template:No talkback/doc

This template,, is used to invisibly mark the user talk pages of users who do not wish to receive talkback messages. When tools such as Twinkle detect this template on a user talk page, they present a notice prior to posting a talkback message to that user.

For users
To opt out of talkbacks from user scripts such as Twinkle, place

on your user talk page (not your user page). You can optionally add a plain text message (no wikitext formatting, please):

Since this template is invisible, it will not be of any use to users who leave a talkback by editing manually. It is recommended to accompany the use of this template with an editnotice, in order to inform manually-editing users that you don't want talkback messages.

This template only signifies your desire to opt out of the talkback template. It does not exclude you from other templated messages, such as speedy deletion notices or general warning templates.

This template will place your user talk page in Category:Users who do not wish to receive talkbacks.

For developers
adds an invisible external link to the page, of the form  (or   when a custom reason is given).

While this template was developed for Twinkle, other user scripts are welcome to use it. However, if you wish to add an opt-out from some other functionality (e.g. opt-out of AFD notices), it would be better to create another template for each opt-out, in order to provide maximum flexibility for users wishing to opt out.
