Hi. Is there any chance for really forbidden characters? For example, did you try to check the input characters one by one? Or, maybe the last user name came with end of line, as part of template transclusion, and this will kill the mw.title.new/1 function. Igal (User:IKhitron)

I'm trying to solve the problem exposed here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Psychoslave#Templa te:Participants (in French)
In a nutshell, the goal is to be able to ping a group of user on meta. so ideally, you just type something like {{ping|my_group}} But as ping and the underlying "Module:Reply_to" are expecting one user per argument my current idea is to make something like {{ping|{{:/some_group/members} }}} so instead of {{ping|Amqui|Ariel1024|Aryamanarora|Benoît_Prieur|Daniel_ Kinzler_(WMDE)|Delarouvraie|Epantaleo|Ernest-Mtl| GastelEtzwane|JackPotte|Jberkel|Jitrixis|Kimdime|LA2|LaMèreV eille|Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)|Lyokoï|M0tty|Malaysiaboy| Marcmiquel|Micru|Nattes_à_chat|Nemo_bis|Noé|Otourly| Pamputt|psychoslave|Rich_Farmbrough|Rodelar|Satdeep_ Gill|Sebleouf|Shavtay|Stalinjeet|S_The_Singer|TAKASUGI_ Shinji|TaronjaSatsuma|Thibaut120094|Thiemo_Mättig_(WMDE)|tpt|Trizek_(WMF)| VIGNERON|Vive_la_Rosière|Xabier_Cañas|Xenophôn}}
I can just write {{ping|{{:Wiktionary/Tremendous Wiktionary User Group/affiliates}}}} for example
but even if I put verbatim in a template: Amqui|Ariel1024|Aryamanarora|Benoît_Prieur|Daniel_Kinzler_(W MDE)|Delarouvraie|Epantaleo|Ernest-Mtl|GastelEtzwane|JackPot te|Jberkel|Jitrixis|Kimdime|LA2|LaMèreVeille|Lydia_ Pintscher_(WMDE)|Lyokoï|M0tty|Malaysiaboy|Marcmiquel|Micru| Nattes_à_chat|Nemo_bis|Noé|Otourly|Pamputt|psychoslave| Rich_Farmbrough|Rodelar|Satdeep_Gill|Sebleouf|Shavtay| Stalinjeet|S_The_Singer|TAKASUGI_Shinji|TaronjaSatsuma |Thibaut120094|Thiemo_Mättig_(WMDE)|tpt|Trizek_(WMF)| VIGNERON|Vive_la_Rosière|Xabier_Cañas|Xenophôn in the page
and call ping with this template as argumement, it will end up with a "Error in Template:Reply to: Input contains forbidden characters."
This message is generated by the module Reply_to but I can't change it since it's protected.
So I'm looking for a way to bypass whatever generate this error, or more broadly any idea to resolve the exposed problem.
