//We first noticed this request at ja.wiki [i] via ['s]() comment at mw.org [ii].// --- This task is about making it so the indentation syntax the Reply Tool outputs can be adjusted depending on the page it is being used. === Background T252708 makes it so the Reply Tool uses the same indentation syntax, `:`, regardless of the wiki and page it is being used. T259864 would make it so wikis could decide, at a project-level, what syntax the Reply Tool uses to indent the comments people post with it. This task is about taking T259864 a step further, by making it possible to more granularly decide (e.g. on a per page basis) what syntax the Reply Tool uses to indent comments people post with it.
