Talk pages are available on every page in this wiki. You can access them by clicking the discussion link directly above this text. The following are basic guidelines for using a 'talk' page.

  • Make proposals: Suggest potential projects or changes you think need to be implemented.
  • Sign your posts: To sign a post, type four tildes (shift + `)(it is located above the 'tab' key), and they will be replaced with your username and time stamp, like this: Jonah 14:29, 27 February 2007 (EST). Please note that it is impossible to leave an anonymous comment because your user name or IP address is recorded in the page history.
  • Answer a post underneath it: Then the next post will go underneath yours and so on. This makes it easy to see the chronological order of posts. The one at the bottom is the latest.
  • Indent your post: This makes it easy to see that you are a different user to the previous post.
Indent each post by one: The thread starts as above, but each new post (comment) is indented by one extra colon (:), regardless who made the post.
  • Separate multiple points with whitespace: If a single post has several points, it makes it clearer to separate them with a paragraph break (i.e. a blank line).
  • Start new topics at the bottom of the page: If you put a post at the top of the page, it is confusing and can also get easily overlooked. The latest topic should be the one at the bottom of the page.
  • Make a new heading for a new topic:
