Test of a Talk Page

Given that this wiki was taking a toll on the forum because people wanted to discuss changes to certain pages, I thought it might be a good idea to add a talk namespace. This is to be used in a similar way to the Wikipedia talk feature, though nowhere near as sophistocated.

Pages in the talk namespace should be used for discussion of the content on regular pages. They dont’ need to be created manually, you should be able to create or access the talk page for any page in the wiki by clicking the ‘talk’ button at the top of the page (there is obviously no talk button on talk pages). Each of the talk pages are just regular wiki pages and can be edited just like any other.

I suggest the following basic rules:

  1. Sign your comments! That is as simple as putting your username after your comment, this will make discussion easier.
  2. To bring up a new topic use a header (by clicking the H1 button in the edit panel). New topics should go at the top of the page.
  3. Use common sense when formatting, and indent quotes where appropriate (see syntax)
  4. Be nice and civil.
  5. And last but far from least, follow this great set of guidelines.

I hope this is a usefull addition to the wiki functionality.
