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 solicit 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.
