Add a mention to directly address a user on a page. The mentioned user's name is displayed as a link to their profile. A mention can also be used with a task and date to create a task item for the mentioned user.

How to mention a user

  1. In VisualEditor, select Add mention in the editor toolbar or type @.
  2. Enter the first letters of the user's name. A list of matching users opens.
  3. Select the intended user from the list. The user's name is added as a mention.

Notifications

A mention creates a link to the user's profile and sends a notification to the mentioned user. Mention notification settings are available under Notifications > Notification channels in the user's preferences.
By default, users receive in-wiki notifications for mentions, but no e-mail notifications.
