{{Main|GSWiki:Talk page}}
All pages on the wiki have an associated talk page. Talk pages can be used to discuss changes to articles on the wiki. Talk pages are found in the '''Talk:''' name space. You can find a page's talk page by clicking the ''Discussion'' button next to the ''Page'' tab.

==Editing a talk page==
If no one has posted a message on the talk page before, you will be prompted to create it while posting your message.

If a talk page already exists you can select ''Add topic'' to make a new section with your comment. If you want to make an edit in a previous section choose ''Edit source'' at the top of the page, or next to a section header, if you want to edit that section.

Editing a talk page is similar to editing any other page: see [[Help:Editing/Source mode basics|source mode basics]] for basic editing help if you haven't already. Additionally you may need to add indentation to show when your comment is in response to someone else's. This is done by adding adding a colon (:) before your comment. E.g:

<pre>Comment
:Reply
::Another reply</pre>

Gives:

Comment
:Reply
::Another reply

You should also always sign after your comment so that other editors can tell who left a message and when it was posted. Sign your comment by writing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> or by hitting the signature button ([[File:Signature button.png]]). E.g:

<nowiki>Comment. ~~~~</nowiki>

Gives:

Comment. {{Signatures/Banri}} 15:18, January 21, 2017 (UTC)

New users will leave a standard signature which has plain links to their [[Help:Editing/Accounts and user pages|user page]] and shows the time at which their post was made. If you like you can create a custom signature (like the one above); you can find out more about doing that [[GSWiki:Signatures|here]].

==User talk pages==
All users also have talk pages. These kind of talk pages are found in the '''User talk:''' name space, e.g. For '''User:Example''' would have the talk page '''User_talk:Example'''. User talk page can be used to communicate directly with other editors.

If you have [[Help:Editing/Accounts and user pages|made an account]] you can access your own talk page by the ''Talk'' button next to your account name at the top right of your screen. If someone leaves you a message on your talk page you will have a notification that displays until you dismiss it or you view your talk page.

==Archiving your talk page==
If you want to remove messages from your talk page you should archive them rather than just deleting them. To archive your talk page create a new page as a subpage of your user talk: for example for '''User_talk:Example''' you could create '''User_talk:Example/Archive1'''. Cut and paste any messages you want to archive onto your new page. Make sure that your subpage is linked on your main talk page.
