Did you want the @ to be inside or outside the link?

Good spot. Let's mimic how {{ping|USER}} behaves and show the @ outside the link. [1]

For RTL wikis, is it possible to use the symbol ◀ instead of the @? So {{ping|مستخدم}} will display مستخدم◀ ! (USER=مستخدم)

@Dyolf77_WMF this ticket is for the default -- T250332 is going to expose customizing the message so individual wikis can make it more to their liking.
