User talk:MTEVE: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

I noticed you edited several talk pages recently, and the way you use them doesn't quite match the standard "whys and hows" of talk pages on a wiki. There's a quick 2-minute video about talk pages from Wikipedia that sums up the main points: '''[[Wikipedia:Help:Talk pages]]'''. The main takeaways are: give each new topic a title (including when you start a new talk page; you may have to click "Add topic" in the top bar before you start writing), don't forget to sign using <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code>, and use colons for indentation in replies. Edit summaries are also appreciated (for easier browsing of the page history). Let me know if you have any questions! --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 20:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

EDIT: Also, keep in mind that talk pages are for discussions about ''improving the wiki'', not for general discussions about the topics themselves. For example, if you find the contents of an article unhelpful, you may ask for clarifications on social platforms like [[XA Discord]] or [[XA Facebook]] if you need help personally, or you may discuss possible ways to improve the page on the talk page (or on the wiki channels of the previously mentioned social platforms) if you intend to improve the article. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 22:38, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
