Almost all pages, except [[Help:Special namespace|the special ones]] are associated with respective discussion (talk) pages. If there is no discussion over the contents of a page, then the link to its talk page will be red. You can still discuss the page - you will just be the first person to do so. | |||
It is custom to sign your comments in the discussion pages by typing four tildes ( <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code> ), transformed into link to userpage and server's date/time according to UTC. You may also use the button [[Image:Button-signature.png|Button "Insert signature"]] in edit mode. | |||
Another custom in wikis is to format the talk threads in a consistent way, using colons ( <code>:</code> ) to create indents from and thus identify whom you answer to. If a comment is located on ''n'' indents (colons) from the beginning of the line, then a reply to this comment should be placed on ''n+1'' indents (colons). This style of conversation is easy to follow and read. | |||
