This article describes how to engage in discussion on
== Using Discussion Pages ==
If you
== Creating a new topic ==
To begin discussion of a new topic, choose the "Add topic" tab to the top right of the page. This lets you make a new topic for discussion. It will ask for a "Subject", which will serve as the section title for the topic, and then any comments you may have.
Make sure you sign your comment by appending <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> at the end. This will automatically be replaced by your username and a time stamp when you save your changes.
== Replying to existing topics ==
If you wish to discuss a topic that has already been created, click the "[edit]" button next to the desired topic.
Make sure you [[:Help:Markup#Indents|indent]] your comment ''one level higher'' than the one you are replying to by using colons (<code>:</code>). This allows for better readability and makes it clear who you are replying to. For example, after three people comment, the page will look like this:
{| class="wikitable" width=100%
|-
| width=50%|<pre>
Hey there, I'm first!
: oooooh, I'm second
:: totally got here third!
</pre>
|
Hey there, I'm first!
: oooooh, I'm second
:: totally got here third!
|}
Again, make sure you sign the comment with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> at the end of your comment. If you need to start a new paragraph, simply return and re-indent. For example:
{| class="wikitable" width=100%
|-
| width=50%|<pre>
|}
On rare occaisions a topic may become so full of replies that the level of indentation becomes troublesome. When this happens, simply reduce the level of indentation:
{| class="wikitable" width=100%
|-
| width=50%|<pre>
: so reduce the indentation for your comment
|}
