Discussions on talk pages have the the advantage of happening right in the medium. Links into data records are easy to make. The debate is at the same moment publicly visible. If they result in solutions others these will be arranged under the eyes of everyone interested.
That is the fast way to make sure a person gets your message.


If you are discussing something on someone's user page, you can put this page on your personal [[Help:How do I keep track of what is happening on FactGrid?#Create your personal "Watchlist"|Watchlist]], this will allow you to check every now and then the ensuing exchange.

For the sake of clarity it is recommendable to keep threads together on the talk page on which they start. Additional clarity is gained if users indent their contributions with the help of colons preceding each new paragraph. A single colon at the beginning of a paragraph indents the text by one level.
If you have written something on another User's page or in the [[FactGrid:Project chat]] sign your post with '''<nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>'''. When saving, this sequence will be converted into a signature with links to your user and your talk page and a date that matches the date of the version history as in --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] ([[User talk:Olaf Simons|talk]]) 23:57, 3 April 2020 (CEST)
 
Notes should eventually be signed. This is done with four tildes, in front of which you may put two spacers: '''<nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>'''. When saving, these characters will be converted into a signature with links to your user and your talk page and a date that matches the date of the version history as in --[[User:Olaf Simons|Olaf Simons]] ([[User talk:Olaf Simons|talk]]) 23:57, 3 April 2020 (CEST)
