What is a discussion page?
The discussion page is generally a page for the verbal discussion about the article/the content page. The discussion page can be used to put forward text proposals, to explain or discuss changes.
When creating a new page a "Discussion" page will be automatically created along with it. Also each user has their own discussion page ("user talk"). It is always linked to the content page.
Usage examples:
- Suggestions for text and format changes that oneself alone does not wish to/cannot implement.
- On protected pages (e.g. the Main Page) it is not possible to save changes in the code. In such case, on the discussion page suggestions for changes can be addressed.
- The discussion page of the contact page can be a way to address first support questions. Also, users can drop their usernames there to be contacted directly on their discussion page for help.
- The discussion page of the users can be used for direct communication.
Suggestions on discussion pages are particularly welcome!
Entries on discussion pages
- Begin your entry with a headline of level 2:
==Headline==
. The title sums up the topic. - Write your entry.
- Attach your signature at the end of you entry.
When there are already entries:
- Always add new contributions at the end of the list.
- If you wish to comment an entry, add
:
at the beginning of your entry. More comments follow with::
,:::
,::::
etc. This causes an indentation of the comments. Always finish with your signature.
Signature
The signature can be generated in two ways:
This results in a signature with user + time stamp, e.g.: --Testshared (talk) 16:49, 10. Nov. 2013 (CET)
