Help:Talk page

From Biki

Talk pages are a special type of page, used to discuss changes on the corresponding "main" article or page. All HSC wiki articles, personal user pages, templates, etc. have an associated talk page (linked as "discussion" in the top menu).

• Article talk pages are used to discuss changes to the particular article.
• User talk pages are used to leave messages for particular users. A message box stating "You have new messages" is automatically displayed to a user at the top of any Wikipedia page, until they view their user talk page.

Basic rules for all talk pages
