The software that runs this wiki is called MediaWiki. The manual for it is [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Contents here]. Some of it is going to be difficult to understand for anyone who's not a computer programmer, but a lot of it should be fairly easy for you. Here's the manual page on using these "Talk" pages: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages Talk page manual]. Basically, you can just edit these pages like a wiki page. Every article has an associated "Talk" page, accessible by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the article. Talk pages for articles are used for discussing the article, rather than directly editing it. Every user also has a Talk page, it's analogous to the PM system used on forums, but it's not private. You can delete all the edits I've made on your Talk page as you choose, and you can also leave me messages on [[User_talk:Jon|my Talk page]], and I'll get a notification as soon as I get on the wiki. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 13:26, 9 July 2009 (MDT) | The software that runs this wiki is called MediaWiki.
