Collogue pages are gey important ti Wikipedia, sin they lat ye speik aboot airticles an ither issues wi ither Wikipedians.
Gin ye want ti speir aboot an article, or you hae a concern or comment, ye can pit a note in the airticle's collogue page. Ye dae that bi clickin the "collogue" tag at the tap o the page. Dinna fash yersel gin the airtin is reid; it's fine ti mak the collogue page gin it haesna aaready bin duin.
Whan ye eik a new comment, pit it at the bottom o the collogue page sauf ye're answerin someone else's remarks. Then ye suid put your comment ablo theirs. Ye can indent yer comment bi typin a colon (:) at the beginning o a line.
Ye suid sign yer comments bi typin ~~~ for juist yer uisername, or ~~~~ for yer username an a time signature (see the exemplar discussion ablo). Whan ye hain the page, yer signature will be inserted bi the wiki saftware. Maist o us uise time signatures cause it maks follaeing collogues aesier an maks fowk answer verra auld comments less aften.
Ye can get a uisername bi makkin an accoont (it's free). Gin ye dinna hae an accoont, or gin ye hae ane but haena logged in, yer computer's IP address is uised stead o yer uisername.
Ilka Wikipaedian haes a uiser collogue page, that ither Wikipaedians can pit messages on. Gin somebodie haes screiven ye a message, ye'll see a note sayin "Ye hae new messages", wi an airtin ti yer uiser collogue page.
Ye can answer in twa gates. The ae gate is ti pit a message on the uiser collogue page o the chiel ye're answerin. The ither is ti pit yer answer on yer ain collogue page aneath the oreiginal message. Baith are common on Wikipaedia; houaniver, mind that answerin on yer ain collogue page rins the risk that yer answer winna be seen, gif the uiser disna keek at yer collogue page again.
Indentin can mak a muckle impruvement ti the leyoot o a collogue, makking it fell aesier ti read. A staundart practice is ti indent yer answer ae level deeper nor the text ye're answerin.
There's a puckle weys o indentin in Wikipaedia:
The simplest wey o indentin is ti pit a colon (:) at the beginning of a line. The mair colons ye pit, the furder indented the text'll be. A newline (pressin Enter or Return) mairks the end o the indented paragraph.
For exemplar:
is shown as:
Ye can indent uisin bullets an aa. This is maistlins uised for leets. Til insert a bullet, uise an asterisk (*). Like indentation, mair asterisks afore a paragraph gies mair indentation.
A wee exemplar:
The whilk is shawn as:
Forbye ye can mak nummered leets. For this, uise the nummer sign or hash symbol (#). This is uised for coonts an walin. Again, ye can affect the indent o the nummer bi the nummer of #'s ye uise.
Example:
Shows up as:
Here is an exemplar o a weel-laidoot collogue:
Hi. I want ti speir aboot this article. I'm gey suir that purple elephants juist bide in Inversnecky! JayAllevolieWikiUser 02:49, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Mind that gin ye want ti pit a leet in yer comments, eik colons afore ilk item, for exemplar:
:::Richt-Oh, thir elephant journals gree wi me: :::* ''Elephants Monthly'' :::* ''Elephants World'' :::— [[Wikipedia:Uiser page|tryNBeeHelpfu]] 19:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
An signing yer message aff is duin bi:
Ye suid aye sign wi baith name and date but walins are aften signed wi names only.
Try it oot! This time, stead o editin a saundpit, lave a message on the collogue page bi clicking "Discuss this page" or "collogue". Mind an sign yer uiser name. Ye micht want to try answerin somebodie else's post. Mind, ye suid uise "Scance ower" ti see gif yer formattin works afore ye hain.
Gang on wi the lessons.
