I'm trying to solve the problem exposed here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Psychoslave#Template:Participants
(in French)
In a nutshell, the goal is to be able to ping a group of user on meta.
so ideally, you just type something like {{ping|my_group}}
But as ping and the underlying "Module:Reply_to" are expecting one user
per argument
my current idea is to make something like {{ping|{{:/some_group/members}}}}
so instead of
{{ping|Amqui|Ariel1024|Aryamanarora|Benoît_Prieur|Daniel_Kinzler_(WMDE)|Delarouvraie|Epantaleo|Ernest-Mtl|GastelEtzwane|JackPotte|Jberkel|Jitrixis|Kimdime|LA2|LaMèreVeille|Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)|Lyokoï|M0tty|Malaysiaboy|Marcmiquel|Micru|Nattes_à_chat|Nemo_bis|Noé|Otourly|Pamputt|psychoslave|Rich_Farmbrough|Rodelar|Satdeep_Gill|Sebleouf|Shavtay|Stalinjeet|S_The_Singer|TAKASUGI_Shinji|TaronjaSatsuma|Thibaut120094|Thiemo_Mättig_(WMDE)|tpt|Trizek_(WMF)|VIGNERON|Vive_la_Rosière|Xabier_Cañas|Xenophôn}}
I can just write
{{ping|{{:Wiktionary/Tremendous Wiktionary User
Group/affiliates}}}} for example
but even if I put verbatim in a template:
Amqui|Ariel1024|Aryamanarora|Benoît_Prieur|Daniel_Kinzler_(WMDE)|Delarouvraie|Epantaleo|Ernest-Mtl|GastelEtzwane|JackPotte|Jberkel|Jitrixis|Kimdime|LA2|LaMèreVeille|Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)|Lyokoï|M0tty|Malaysiaboy|Marcmiquel|Micru|Nattes_à_chat|Nemo_bis|Noé|Otourly|Pamputt|psychoslave|Rich_Farmbrough|Rodelar|Satdeep_Gill|Sebleouf|Shavtay|Stalinjeet|S_The_Singer|TAKASUGI_Shinji|TaronjaSatsuma|Thibaut120094|Thiemo_Mättig_(WMDE)|tpt|Trizek_(WMF)|VIGNERON|Vive_la_Rosière|Xabier_Cañas|Xenophôn
in the page
and call ping with this template as argumement, it will end up with a
"Error in Template:Reply to: Input contains forbidden characters."
This message is generated by the module Reply_to but I can't change it
since it's protected.
So I'm looking for a way to bypass whatever generate this error, or more
broadly any idea to resolve the exposed problem.
