Talking 101

In 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... plus signing and adding some indentation. Feel free to inspect this page's code to learn how.

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. Here's the docs on how to adjust the setting: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExternalLinkTarget --Severian (talk) 01:57, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Create a new section with a level 2 header

Then, describe what the thread is about. This is a section for talking about how to talk.

• 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.
