:And oh no, is the method at [[Help:Fixing failed pings#Edit summary method]] broken? If so, we should definitely bring it up there, since it's also at [[Template:uw-pingfix]] and likely elsewhere. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> ^{[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]} 15:55, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

::I still think a brief mention that it can be turned off via preferences is warranted, {{U|Sdkb}}. As to the ping, I can only say that I did not receive a notification, although I was pined by Nick Moyes in the Teahouse about this matter. I wasn't even aware that a link in the edit summary was supposed to work.

:::{{u|DESiegel}}, I saw the Teahouse thread after I replied. Since the editor mentioned {{tq|new to ''active'' editing}}, I assume they must have an account that's older than April 2014, which seems like a very rare situation, but I guess if they're asking about it it happens. How about we link to [[Wikipedia:RefToolbar]] over "RefToolbar"? That will provide an option for the (presumably very few) editors experiencing issues to more easily troubleshoot without cluttering things for the majority who don't need the fine print. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> ^{[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]} 16:12, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
