Every wiki page has a corresponding talk page intended for discussions related to the topics of that page.
To see the talk page of any page, simply click on the 💬 icon in the top bar – it's between the 📄 and ⭐️ icons. Alternatively, you can access a talk page directly by adding Talk: in front of a page name – Talk:Main Page is the talk page to discuss the contents of Main Page, for example.
Leaving a comment
If you want to leave a comment on a talk page, simply click the 🖊Edit button as if you were editing a standard wiki page – it works the same way!
New comments should be added at the top of the page to give the discussion a sort-of chronological order. Use a section to give your comment a short headline that makes it clear what your comment is about at a glance.
Replying to another comment
Signing your comment
It helps to sign your comments in order to keep track of who said what in a discussion. You don't have to type out your username by hand though – simply add four tildes ~~~~
at the end of your comment and it will be automatically converted to your username, along with a timestamp:
Please keep in mind that using ~~~~
while you're logged out, or if you don't have an account to begin with, will publicly display your current IP address instead.
