Why not just make a template containing <includeonly>{{ping|first
user|second user|third user|...}}</includeonly>
Your issue is almost certainly that the pipes aren't being tokenized
as argument separators when they come from a transcluded template.
(Its the same reason that {{!}} works in tables, except in reverse).
Alternatively, {{ping|{{subst::Wiktionary/Tremendous Wiktionary User
Group/affiliates}}}} would probably work.
