Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki:Talk page policy

This page contains information pertaining to Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki's policies and guidelines.

Effective date: October 11^th, 2022

A talk page, or discussion page, is a page that can be reached by clicking the "Discussion" button at the top of any page on Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki. The purpose of a talk page is to discuss the article or its subject matter; in the case of user talk pages, they are used to directly communicate with a user.

Guidelines

• Topicality is relaxed but still relatively important. Try to stay on the topic at hand. For conversations that would flood the recent changes, use our Discord server.
• Each discussion topic should have a respective header, to separate them. Clicking the "add topic" button at the top of the page makes the process automatic.
  • The header should preferably be level two, done using ==<topic>==.
• All posts should be signed with the user's signature and, optionally, time and date.
  • This is done using ~~~, or ~~~~ to include a timestamp.
• Although not enforced, replies to other users' comments should be indented one step further than theirs by starting each paragraph with the right number of : characters. Reduce the indent back to zero if it becomes too large.
• Don't edit or remove comments made by other users. Doing so will give you a {{warning}}.
• Discussions should be made about relatively important things. Discussions made to discuss irrelevant and unimportant things, harass, troll, spam, or to [solicitate] will not be tolerated and will be removed. This also applies to adding a comment on another discussion created by somebody else.

Users that fail to sign their message and don't sign it later should have their message appended with {{unsigned}}, by another user. Those that repeatedly fail to sign their messages are to be given a {{reminder}} about it on their talk page.
