MEpedia talk:Discussion and collaboration

Suggestion
Looks good now! Thanks for clarifying the "Add topic". Should we put a bullet point under "Formatting 101" saying "To start a new paragraph, just use 2 returns at the end of the line instead of one." As a new user, I initially thought a single return was sufficient to create a new paragraph, so this may be helpful info? Pyrrhus (talk) 20:20, 19 February 2019 (EST)


 * Ohh, I see. I had taken that out because indenting with a colon also suffices to start a new paragraph--but I see, your first comment here is an example of where someone might want a line break without indenting. FWIW, the syntax for a line break is   . My instinct is that that's the thing we should add in, since two returns creates double-spacing--I feel like the folks who do want to double-space their comments will figure out how?

 * Sounds good! I'll go add   to the page.

 * Awesome! It's very satisfying to get this stuff set up. Thanks for all your work on it; it's stuff I noticed missing but felt kinda daunted to get into on my own! Many hands do make lighter work! Canele (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2019 (EST)


 * Very true about many hands making lighter work. Plus, it's easy for me to think about questions a new user would have since I'm a new user.  Once you're proficient in something, it's harder to remember what you went through in the beginning...

Signing comments, etc.
Hey Pyrrhus, so much for my wikibreak, ha. I see the commenting format is being revamped--is there a place on-wiki that I can catch up on discussion of that? I have a couple thoughts (re: maybe adding a reminder on each talk page to sign comments; some available templates for use when someone forgets 1, 2, etc.) but realize I'm probably behind so wanted to catch up to make sure I wasn't make duplicative proposals! Thanks! Canele (talk) 14:44, June 27, 2019 (EDT)
