Template:Watching/doc

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Purpose

[change source]

This template was created for user talk pages, to let a user know that you are watching their page. This is designed to keep conversations from ping-ponging back and forth, but this is simpler than talkback-related templates. Ideally, this is used only on the first message of a conversation that a user leaves for another user, to instruct the receiving user where to reply.
