Every article page has a Discussion page attached to it, this is for any User Comments relating to that specific article. For User Discussion pages and disputes see [[Help:ContactUser]]. == What goes here? == Acceptable comments include questions and answers, observations and additions of a nostalgic nature. ==Formatting == Comments added to Discussion Pages should be made in a common sense and linear fashion. Opening comments should start with a <nowiki>==Level 2 Title==</nowiki> with responses placed below. All questions, answers and comments should be signed off using four tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki> as this automatically inserts the User name and a time/date stamp. Look through any existing comments first before adding to the page. By using headings a Table of Contents will be generated to aid navigation through tha page. Using a colon ( : ) at the beginning of lines will indent the text to maintain a tidy layout. Don't overuse them, after 2 or 3 lines with increasing colons revert back to no colon then add one per line again and so on. == Example == If you wonder why the Summerland article mentioned Derby Castle but there wasn't a Derby Castle page: <pre> ==Derby Castle name?== Why is Summerland sometimes called Derby Castle? ~~~~~ :Because of the castle that occupied the site, it belonged to the Derby family. ~~~~ Does anyone have a link to an image of the castle? ~~~~ :Yes, there are a couple on [http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/towns/douglas/dcastle.htm ManxNotebook]</pre> would appear as: ==Derby Castle Name?== Why is Summerland sometimes called Derby Castle? [[User:MarkAtherton|MarkAtherton]] 15:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC) :Because of the castle that occupied the site, it belonged to the Derby family. [[User:MarkAtherton|MarkAtherton]] 15:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC) Does anyone have a link to an image of the castle? [[User:MarkAtherton|MarkAtherton]] 12:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC) :Yes, there are a couple on [http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/towns/douglas/dcastle.htm ManxNotebook] ---- '''Note:''' The link in this example is unsigned by 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>)in the code so appears without the Username and date stamp, Comments ''should'' be signed off. == Watching pages == All pages include a tick box marked 'Watch this page' just above the "Save" button. Use this to monitor subsequent changes that may include answers to your questions and comments. You can view all [[Special:Watchlist|your Watched pages]] using the link at the top of pages as long as you are loged in. [[Category:Help]]
