'''WikiIndex: Talk | '''WikiIndex: Talk pages for wiki people''' — this [[Help:Project pages|project page]] describes specific [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespace]] pages – commonly known as '''[[Talk page|'talk' pages]]''', also known as ''''discussion' pages''' – which are available to all [[:Category:WikiIndex account|registered users]], and also all [[IP address]] pages which have [[Editor|edited]] this {{tag|WikiIndex}} wiki. | ||

The now long-established convention on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], its [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation related projects]], and several derived works – is that nobody should alter anything that <u>someone else</u> has written on anybody else's user talk page – <u>unless</u> they wish to fix [[red link]]s, typos, or disambiguations, or if it's offensive, etc., (and maybe not even if it is - it may be useful evidence!). Here on WikiIndex, whilst we have zero ties to the Wikimedia Foundation, we prefer to follow this same ideal; not because we somehow wish to follow said wikis, but merely because it is common courtesy. It is important to note that some WikiIndex folks positively encourage others to make minor changes to their messages; typically when English is not their first language. However, irrespective of any 'policy' or otherwise, if an individual person makes a specific request that their talk page messages are not altered, please respect their wishes. | The now long-established convention on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], its [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation related projects]], and several derived works – is that nobody should alter anything that <u>someone else</u> has written on anybody else's user talk page – <u>unless</u> they wish to fix [[red link]]s, typos, or disambiguations, or if it's offensive, etc., (and maybe not even if it is - it may be useful evidence!).

Users occasionally {{tag| | Users occasionally {{tag|Talk page archive|archive}} the older parts of their user talk pages, with a [[wikilink]] to their archive (which can easily be a sub-page of their talk page); for example: <code><nowiki>[[User talk:Robin Patterson/archive1|Archive Aug-Nov 2005]]</nowiki></code>. Please see [[template:TalkPageArchive]], as this will auto-include any archived user talk page and / or other namespace talk page into [[:category:Talk page archive]]. | ||
User talk pages should primarily be about that user's editing in general, and can also include friendly greetings, questions, or clarifications. It is perfectly fine and acceptable to use these talk page spaces for general 'chit-chat' conversation and collaboration, but WikiIndex does <u>not</u> support nor allow harassment of any kind on this site. Users have become accustomed to special expectations of ownership over their <u>own</u> talk pages, so if someone asks you to not post there or not post certain kind of content, then it is expected that you will abide by that request. | User talk pages should primarily be about that user's editing in general, and can also include friendly greetings, questions, or clarifications.

Question has come up here on WikiIndex about the usefulness of having information on two pages, when it would easily fit onto one page, thus using the talk page in a different way than [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. | Question has come up here on WikiIndex about the usefulness of having information on two pages, when it would easily fit onto one page, thus using the talk page in a different way than [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. | ||
