Ability to Mention a Channel

p_yzr

So you know how you can ping certain people with their IDs and ping roles with their IDs, Eg. <@459859776352944129> for ID and <@&709564416080871505> and it will ping that role, there should be a thing like <@%(channel ID)> and then when people do that it will highlight it in blue and bring you to that server and channel. It would be helpful for bot developers who want welcome messages or custom welcome messages in DMs like <@%11111111> (#rules) so people can click that and read the rules. And if a server owner didn't want people "mentioning" channels in their server from other servers, they could disable it in Server Overview. 

 

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but please vote it as it could be helpful!

    hi there! this feature is already in use. you can mark a channel in a similar way to tagging others. use the following format <#538938170822230026>
    -> which would turn into #general from a popular server if you were already in the server.
    if not it would show up as #deleted-channel. 

    this should work!

    you cannot mention voice channels currently, however you can use invite links on voice channels.. which sort of links them/mentions them. hope this helps!

    I've been working on a community server for a little while and I have a question. How to mention a <Rules> channel?

    ☁ ☁ ConmeuwUu ☁ ☁ what you have to do is to Copy the ID of the rule channel, then type 

    <#ID>

    Example:

    <#123456789012345678>

    To get the channel ID make sure you have also the #Developper option activated.

    User Settings --> Advanced --> Developer Mode (click on the slider to the right)

    For me the <#ID> was specially usefull since i can't #channel since we use emojis or custom font on our server so this really saved us !

     

    Thanks again Pres
