| To directly address a user on a page, you can mention that user. A mention is then shown as a specially formatted name. It can be used [[Manual:Extension/SimpleTasks|in combination with a task and date]] to create a task item for the mentioned user.

| ==What are mentions?==
| |
| If you mention a user on a page, the user's name is inserted as a mention-item.

| '''To mention a user:'''
| |
| #'''Select''' the ''Mention'' menu item in the editor toolbar.[[File:Manual:droplet-mention-VE.png|alt=visual editor menu bar with mention item selected|center|thumb|The "mention" menu item]] | |
| #'''Enter''' a user name. The mention is added to the page.[[File:Manual:mention-example.png|alt=Example of a formatted user mention|center|thumb|User mention on the page.]]
| |
| The user is notified of the mention, because it creates a link to the user's profile page. Users can change their notification settings for mentions in their preference. By default, users get in-wiki notifications, but no e-mail notifications.[[File:mention-notification-setting.png|alt=Checked checkbox for in-wiki notifications and unchecked e-mail notifications in the users preferences|center|thumb|Notification setting for mentions]]
