Purpose change

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.

Usage change

  • {{Watching}} → (please {{reply to}} on reply; thanks!)

Examples change

  • Typing: What do you think of the article? {{Watching}} ~~~~
will yield: What do you think of the article? (please {{reply to}} on reply; thanks!) Example (talk) 13:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
