Template:Uw-talkfork
Information icon Hi Uw-talkfork! I noticed that you recently started the same discussion in more than one place. For future reference, to help keep discussion centralized, please avoid this. Instead, open a discussion on just one page. You may invite more participation by adding a neutrally-worded invitation linking to it from other pages. (You can use template {{Please see |Destination page#Section}} for this).
Existing talk forks can be resolved by merging to a single destination: cut and paste the comments to move them from the source page to the destination page, leaving {{Moved discussion to |Destination page#Section|~~~~}} at the source and adding {{Moved discussion from |Source page#Section|~~~~}} at the destination. Thank you.
Usage
[edit ]{{subst:Uw-talkfork}}{{subst:Uw-talkfork||Additional text}}or{{subst:Uw-talkfork|2=Additional text}}adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"
Please remember to substitute the template using {{subst:Uw-talkfork}} rather than {{Uw-talkfork}}.
To customize your message, a parameter is availableto add additional text at the end of the message. If your param value contains an equal sign (as urls often do), then be sure to explicitly specify the positional parameter by number; i.e., use |1= or |2= followed by the value; e.g., |1=XYZ=Repainting, or |2=https://www.bbc.com/search?q=Kent+weather.
