Talkback template.
Usage
First message
This template should be placed under a new section at the bottom of the recipient user talk page. To use this template to inform your intended Wikipedian of a message on your talk page:
Go to the target talk page. User talk pages start with "User talk:" prefix.
On the top of the page, click on "New Section" button/link. It should look like this:
In the "Subject/headline" box, type "Re: [Section title]", where "[Section title]" is the name of the section in your talk page in which you have posted a reply.
In the message section, paste the following template text:
{{Teahouse talkback|section title here|ts=~~~~}}
If you wish, you can suppress the "Feel free to reply there!" text. To do so, add a second 'noreply' parameter as follows:
{{Teahouse talkback|section title here|noreply|ts=~~~~}}
Change "section title here" to the title of the section where the guest asked their question. Remove any leading or trailing spaces before or after the pipes.
Don't change any of the other values.
Save the page.
Wikipedia will notify the recipient of having a new message in her talk page. When she visits her user talk page, she may see your notice and may come back to the Teahouse to view her answer.
