How is a table of contents created? I tried viewing the edit of talk pages that have a ToC, but there doesn't seem to be any code inserted that creates this? -- Crossmr 04:25, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
I have a disclaimer on my user talk page of what I will keep in regards to comments; and its outline what I will keep and get rid of. Even within that disclaimer I provide a link of where I stand on certain issues so I do not have to deal with the petty arguements and accusations. Is there a specific rule against this. Do note every comment I receive, I do give a reply but I do not find it necessary to keep all comments for every user. I will like to hear your comments and idea.

I often find an article I wish existed, doesn't. I typically use wikipedia for work, so I try to minimize my time on it. I don't have time to go through the cumbersome article request process, or to create an article that doesn't deserve deletion. What I've been doing is creating the talk pages, and then going back and creating the article if and when I find the time. Is that kosher? Mathiastck 21:53, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
The top of each wiki page shows several tabs - help, discussion, etc. However, if you edit the discussion you are editing talk. That is talk and discussion are used to refer to the same thing !! very confusing Cinnamon colbert 03:08, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
i was lookin up the airbus a380 page and saw that it had a nickname posted, and i opted to add in the nickname "Fat Bastard" as it was used by the employees at the airbus factory in france. i was sent a message saying it was nonsence. maybe so but a nickname is a nickname. up to you guys whether you except it or not cuz i have a family member who is in the airbus factory at this minute.
Should new sections/topics on a talk page be added to the top or the bottom of a talk page? Is there a guideline/rule? I've seen talk pages where stuff gets added on the top, the bottom, the middle... anyone know? Gront 04:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Okwudi !?... whats the chances
Hello all!
I have started writing a french version of one of my favourite articles, over on Wikipedia France. How do I add the link for it to the "in other languages" tab on the English site, and vice versa?
also, does anyone else think it would be good to consolidate membership across sites, ie, when you contribute to say, the German site, you can access your edits from the UK version of "my contributions"?

I'm confused over this section:
Does "Put a notice on your user talk page that you will reply there" refer to my user page or the other person's talk page who started the conversation? I only ask because I want to keep discussions I make constant and not broken up, but different people use different systems and it confuses me, so I would prefer to use the guidance here, but it confuses me. -- tgheretford ( talk) 23:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC) This section is bit confusing-- Darrendeng 08:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Instead of having a Talk page like this:
How's the soup? --[[Bob]] |
How's the soup? --
Bob I think the soup-discussion should be moved to
Talk:Soup.. --
Lisa

won't it be cleaner to have it like this?:
== Soup == |
Soup [
I made it myself! --
Bob

Note: Headings are imitated for the above example. Though not exactly the same, they are similar to the example above in actual practice. The 'edit' links in the example above have no effect.
Details:
Current method:
First comment is not indented (no colon ':')
Second comment is indented once
Third comment is indented twice
And so on.
Disadvantage: The comments build up like a thread, getting indented more and more unnecessarily. The fifth or the sixth comment itself would be hanging at the right side of a page like a vertical newspaper column. There is no dialogue structure. (Remember Talk pages are for conversations between Wikipedia contributers, and conversation means dialogue!)
Suggested method:
First person to comment never indents any of his comments under the subheading.
Second person to comment always indents all his comments one step (under that particular subheading only).
Third person to comment always indents all his comments two steps.
Advantage: The comments are arranged neatly like a dialogue. The reader gets a sense of dialogue or conversation. It's easier to read a dialogue than to read a thread since the reader can figure out who is talking what, by just looking at the indents. Starting a new dialog should be under a subheading as I suggested above. Also this method is cleaner since unless there are about six or more people actually participitating in the conversation, the comments will span accross the page and not get concentrated towards the right. -- ADTC 14:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
