To discuss an article, please edit its "Discussion" page (Talk:<article title>).

Adding a top-level comment

Create a heading with a short title and write your comment below, signing it with "~~~~", like so:

== My title ==
My comment -- ~~~~

That gets turned into:

My title

My comment -- TW466 (talk) 12:26, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

You can make this simpler by using the "Add Topic" link next to "Edit" at the top of the page.

Commenting on a comment

Indent lower-level comments with ":", like so:

== Some title ==
First comment -- ~~~~
: Reply to first comment -- ~~~~
:: Reply to the reply -- ~~~~
: Another reply to first comment -- ~~~~

"~~~~" gets turned into a signature automatically, such as TW466 (talk) 12:26, 8 March 2019 (UTC).

The block above gets turned into:

Some title

First comment -- TW466 (talk) 12:26, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
