=== Purpose ===

Requests that a player meet you or sends a private message to a player anywhere on the MUCK.

=== Syntax ===

To inform a player that you are looking for them and would like to meet them at your location:

 . ''{{{ page <player> }}}''

To send a private message to a user:

 . ''{{{ page <player>=<message> }}}''

=== Parameters ===

''{{{<player>}}}'' 

 . The name of the player you would like to send a request or message to. 

''{{{<message>}}}'' 

 . The message you would like to send the player. This message can be sent to a player regardless of their location.

=== Examples ===

__Example 1__

If a player named Jaxen wanted to ask a player named Morticon to meet them at her location, "The Old Decrepit Building", she would type the following:

 . {{{ page Morticon }}}

Jaxen would see the following:

 . {{{ You sent your summons to Morticon. }}}

Morticon would see the following:

 . {{{ You sense that Jaxen is looking for you in The Old Decrepit Building. }}}


__Example 2__

If a player named Lepus wanted to ask Alkani about the status of the generator while he was in the same room as him, he would type the following:

 . {{{ page Alkani=Do you know what the status of the generator is? }}}

Lepus would see the following:

 . {{{You page, "Do you know what the status of the generator is?" to Alkani.}}}

Alkani would see the following:

 . {{{Lepus pages, "Do you know what the status of the generator is?" to you.}}}


__Example 3__

If Alkani wanted to reply to Lepus about the generator status, but Alkani is no longer in the same room as Lepus, he would type the following:

 . {{{ page Lepus=The generator is currently turned off. }}}

Alkani would see the following:

 . {{{You page, "The generator is currently turned off." to Lepus.}}}

Lepus would see the following:

 . {{{Alkani pages, "The generator is currently turned off." to you.}}}

=== Caveats ===

Players who have set the Haven (H) flag on themselves cannot receive pages. You will be notified that they cannot receive pages and will receive a message stating: {{{ That player does not wish to be disturbed. }}}

Most MUCKs install a replacement {{{page}}} package. The replacement package has this fundamental functionality described along with additional functions that make {{{page}}} much more flexible. SpinDizzy MUCK has a replacement {{{page}}} command installed.
