To mention a person in a post or comment:
  1. Type the person's name with a capitalised first letter.
  2. Select a name from the list that appears.
To mention a Page or group in a post or comment:
  1. Type "@" and then the Page's or group's name.
  2. Select a name from the list that appears.
Bear in mind that, depending on a Page's settings, you may not be able to mention it.
When you mention a person, Page or group in a post or comment, a link is created. The audience for the link that's created depends on the privacy settings of the person, Page or group you mention. For example, if you mention a secret group, only that group's members can see the link. The person, Page or group you mention may get a notification, and the post or comment may appear on their timeline.
