Editing conventions on ARTICLES
Having discussions on a free-form wiki page will seem strange at first. It helps if everyone follows some simple editing conventions:
- Be sure that your comment appears under the appropriate subheading in the article. For example, place comments on stop choice under "Registration." If needed, add a new heading.
- Always sign your name after your comments. Use the four tildes “
~~~~” wiki syntax (or the signature button signature button in the toolbar above the editing textbox). For more information see Help:Signatures.
