The {{wb}} or {{Whisperback}} template is a less distracting and intrusive alternative to {{Talkback}}, {{Talkbacktiny}} and related templates. The usage examples below are pretty self-explanatory (look at where the links go, too), except that you'll need to replace "Example" with your real username.
The page need not be substituted unless you fear it may be deleted or radically changed some day, resulting in your archived whisperback notices not being the way you originally wrote them. There are probably more important things to care about. It will even work just fine after it has been moved to an archive page. The only time it must be subst'd is before it is copied from one place to another, e.g. from a user talk page to another user's talk page or an article talk page because an entire discussion has been moved.
Some prefer to use this as a replacement for Template:Talkback entirely, while for others it is used to replace Talkback notices that have been answered, to reduce talk page clutter.
