Discussion & Question Instruction

If you have details to add to an article, just add them. We are all checking, so don't be worried whether the details are beautifully written - rather than not have them, it's better to have them less than perfect, it gives everyone else a place to start from.

If you disagree with an idea, have concerns, or a question:

• edit the section/article
• add the tag {{Discussion}}
• to the article. Write your actual question in the next line, and sign it with

 ~~~~  

{{Discussion}} calls the discussion template which automatically puts your question into this question category.

• • review
  • moving resolved questions out of the questions category once discussions are exhausted & clarification are complete and have been added to their article

please write it under a discussion "heading".

Adding to an existing discussion

• click on the "edit" link on the right side of the screen next to the existing "Discussion" heading, next to the [Image:Questions.gif].

Adding a discussion to an article

• click on the "edit" link next to the heading of the topic you want to comment on
• count the number of "=" signs used for that heading
• go to the end of the section and
  • add a {{Discussion}} to add the discussion template, which will add the picture and put the article into the questions category
  • add the sub-heading =Discussion= with one more "=" than the earlier heading; this lists the discussion in the index of the article at the top, making it easier to find
