Talk:Meta

On this page we can talk about ideas, sketches, hopes and dreams for the future of this wiki.

Using a wiki as a message board is counter-intuitive at first, but you'll get the hang of it – the gist is: it's just editing and leaving text, not unlike editing regular wiki pages, plus signing your comments and adding some indentation with :, :: and so forth. Feel free to inspect this page's code to learn how.

Please use == Insert Topic Here == to increase both readability and visibility, and please add your comment – if it's not a reply to another comment – to the top of this page, below this textbox! Thanks :)

REQUEST: make external links open in new window

I think the usual thing is for external links (to other sites) to open in another window/tab. I think maybe that's how it worked yesterday and it got changed.

Where to get autism-related stuff

Should we have a page saying where to get autism-related stuff? On the one hand, this could be a useful resource. On the other, it could very easily turn into a spam page, w/ nothing but free advertising

What do you mean by "autism related stuff"? --Fochti (talk) 18:39, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Good question. That may be too difficult to judge. Anything from noise-cancelling headphones to T-shirts w/ Autism-related sayings

• Greetings! I'm MrPedroBraga! The first message I like to use an * to make that little black dot.
  I can also sign my messages by using four tildes at the end of it (I add two en dashes - before just for style). --MrPedroBraga (talk) 00:24, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Greetings again! I'm MrPedroBraga! I can indent another message by appending : symbols to the beggining of it. I think that's called a "colon." --MrPedroBraga (talk) 00:24, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I'm another user (not really, but pretend it is). I'm replying to MrPedroBraga by indenting a message underneath theirs. --AnonymousUserButItsPedroAgainActually.
