Template:Ping active users
This is a terrible idea for a template, I oppose indiscriminate mass ping templates as a matter of principle.

In the words of another editor at Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Template:Ping all users, these mass ping templates are a fundamentally terrible idea and serve only to enable "industrial scale pestering". In what situation is pinging every single active user on the site going to be useful, and not just a colossal nuisance? Pings are supposed to be used to get the attention of a small number of editors where they are specifically needed, if you need everybody on the site to comment on something then use one of the centralised community forums, like the village pump. Even in situations where it is appropriate to ping everyone I think it is much more "healthy" to force the pinging user to do it manually (which at least forces them to consider "do I really need to ping all these people?") as opposed to turning it into a throwaway, easy to do operation. — 192.76.8.85 14:08, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
