Most pages should follow the policy set out in the Editing Guidelines. Talk pages are different in nature; they are intended to be a place for discussion of the associated topic page.
Guidelines for talk pages:
- Sign your comment at the end, using four tildes (~~~~), as below:
I think those corn-starch packing peanuts are the bees knees -- ~~~~
- ...which will be transformed into:
I think those corn-starch packing peanuts are the bees knees -- Rob Linden 00:04, 24 March 2007 (PDT)
- If you are starting a new thread, use the "+" button to add it, or manually add a subject line within == signs
- If you are replying to a comment, indent it by prepending your comment with a colon. If the comment you are replying to is already indented, you can add indent levels by adding more colons.
- Place {{Talk}} on the top of pages where these guidelines aren't being followed. This will display as the following:
This is a talk page. Please sign comments you leave here by putting four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comment. You might also prefer to click on "Add Topic" to create a visually more pleasing discussion style. For more guidelines, see Talk Page Guidelines. |
- Do not alter other Residents talk page comments!
- Changes to fit the style of the talkpage or adding of Template:Unsigned seem appropriate though.
- Do not remove your talk page comments when you changed your mind. Use
<strike>
to manipulate the old comment instead and maybe add a reason why you made that change. Example:
<strike>Peanut butter isn't very tasty... </strike> -- Magellan Linden 09:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC) :Hm... eating it more often made me change my mind.~~~~
- resulting in:
Peanut butter isn't very tasty...-- Magellan Linden 09:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC) :Hm... eating it more often made me change my mind. -- Magellan Linden 15:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Be polite, assume good faith.
