Discussion Pages
A unique characteristic of wikis like Lexicanum is the possibility to discuss the contents of the related article with other people.
If you want to ask a question concerning an article you can simply write a note on the article discussion page. To do so, click "discussion" at the top left of the article page. If the word is red or nothing exists once you've clicked it, it means there is as yet no page of comments for this article, and will be created by your post.
Just add your comment to the bottom of a page if it a new conversation topic. You can add a heading or line underneath someone else's comments to separate them into coherent sections. If you are responding to someone else's comments, put your words just after it. You can use a ":" (colon) at the start of the line to indent your writing.
It is important to sign your comments and notes. Put ~~~ (three tildes) and it will show your name. If you use four tildes it will add the date and time. This is called a "signature" and only happens when you save the page. Most discussions use the date and time as it is easier to follow a discussion.
It is also possible to use "*" (star or asterisk) to make bullet points (normally used for lists). Simply put a "*" at the start of the line to bullet it.
In order to use numbers, place a # (hash) at the start of the line like when making bullet points.
Examples
Here is an example of a well structured discussion:
Hello, I have a question on the article. I am rather sure that there is a yellow elephant in New York! -- UserA
- When I was last in New York, I only saw green elephants. -- UserB
- You should quote a source for it. -- UserC
- These two important magazines of Elephantologie agree with me: -- UserB, 23.04.03
- Elephants Monthly
- Elephants World
- I live in Australia, there the elephants look like Kangaroos. Who agrees me?
- Mrs. X
- Ms. Y
- Mr. Z
Now, practice this in the Chaos wastes and then proceed with the Tutorial (Page 6).
