+\page private-messaging Sending private messages
+
+Sometimes it's simply not enough to ping someone in a server with a message, and we get that. That's why you can private message people! This tutorial will cover how to make a command that will either message the author of the command or message a specified user!
+
+\note This tutorial makes use of callbacks. For more information about that, visit \ref callback-functions "Using Callback Functions".
