Template talk:Please ping on reply

Consolidation
Hi ! The impetus for turning this into a redirect is that we had five (5!) different templates previously that all served the same purpose. I'm trying to consolidate them to make them easier to maintain. I chose Please ping as the centralization point, and I added all the parameters from this template so it should be fully backwards-compatible. It can be either substituted or transcluded — in the case of transcluding, it displays which is very similar to this one, and in the case of substituting, it displays (please use&#32; on reply), which I think is a clear improvement, since it allows others to easily copy the code rather than having to write it out.

I hope to turn the others into redirects as well (except for Request ping, which isn't going to be backwards compatible) if I can figure out the issue at Village pump (technical). &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 20:10, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * just wanted to follow up about this, since you mentioned before that you planned to reply. Topically, this is tied to Templates for discussion/Log/2020 May 17, although I didn't include this in the nom since I think this was already redirecting at the time. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 08:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * In the nomination you mentioned CONSOLIDATE and "maintenance" but this is a simple user template that doesn't need "maintenance", and the fact that there are a half-dozen variants should be a good thing; it means that everyone gets their own flavour of tps notice. You shouldn't be trying to force your opinions on how someone should be able to reply to someone else that they don't need a ping. Primefac (talk) 13:39, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * As fairly simple templates, they don't need a ton of maintenance, but for instance, the recent improvements I made to make it possible to either substitute or not is something that this template could benefit from, but I'm not going to bother copying over the code. As I mentioned in the discussion, my aim is not to force a format on anyone (all the options I built in should attest to that), but just to keep them all under one roof for consolidation (which is not just about maintenance — it helps with things like making them easier to find). &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 20:54, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
