In order to mention users on Wiki pages, it is important to make changes in the settings:

## Step 1: Activate the preference "Tagging users"

To start activate "Tagging users" by going to Settings > Control Panel then search for "Tagging users" in the search bar, activate this preference and apply the changes.

## Step 2: Activate the preference "User mention notifications"

Activate "User mention notifications" by going to Settings > Control Panel then search for "User mention notifications" in the search bar, activate this preference and apply the changes.

{img src="display1686" link="display1686" width="400" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" align="center" styleimage="border"}

This will allow users to be notified when they are mentioned on a wiki page.

## Conclusion

Once this is done, when a user is mentioned on a wiki page in the format "@username" he will be notified and his information will appear when his name is over the page.

Note also that the information will only be displayed if the user has given permission; see: ((Enable personal information Pop-up))
