Help:Communication

From Van Hamel wiki

Users are encouraged to watch the project as it evolves and to communicate with one another about the best way forward.

Please be aware that all communication which is made 'on-wiki' is visible to the public eye. If the nature of the discussion is confidential, you may want to resort to other, more private channels of communication, such as e-mail.

Watchlists

The easiest way to stay informed about any changes made to article space or user space is to watchlist the pages you would like to keep an eye on. Every page has a tab at the top with two options available: click on "watch" if you want to watch any changes and click on "unwatch" if you are no longer interested in doing so. All watchlisted pages will appear in "my watchlist".

More advanced options regarding your watchlist can be accessed by going to "My preferences" and checking (or un-checking) the boxes under the watchlist tab according to your preferences.

Article talk page

• Whenever you open or join a discussion on the talk page belonging to a user or to an article, please use a section heading (==Section heading here==).
• Please conclude messages with four tildes (~~~~). This will add your signature once you've hit "Save page". If you like, you can customise your signature in your personal preferences.

User page

Every registered editor has a user page. These pages may be used for things like taking notes, trial workings and drafts (including sandboxes), general notifications and some basic information about yourself and your special aims, if you like. If you are an editor and you have logged on to this wiki, you will find your user page here.

If you prefer to put nothing here then you can redirect it to your user talk page for the convenience of other editors.

User talk page

Editors also have a talk page in addition to their user space. If you are a registered editor and you have logged on to this wiki, here is a quick link to yours. Other users may post messages.
