Wikipedia can be confusing—but it doesn't have to be that way! What do you need help with?

A user talk page is a page where you leave messages for a user. In this case, this is the user talk page for me—K6ka. You can use this page to contact me.
Think of a user talk page like a public email inbox. All messages need to have a Subject and a Body, and they should be written politely and formally (e.g. starting with a greeting and ending with "Thank you for your time"). When you post your message, it is public—everyone can see it, even though it was addressed to me. I will receive a notification when you leave me a message, and will try to respond to your message the next time I log in.
How to leave a new message for me
- Select the New section button.
The page editor will load. - In the "Subject:" field, enter the Subject of your message.
A subject is your title, not your entire message! Be clear, concise, and short.
Examples of bad titles: HELP ME!!!, Message, Hello, Question.
Examples of good titles: Question regarding the Coffee article. - In the text box underneath the Subject: field, type the message you would like to leave for me.
- Look over your message for any typos or mistakes.
- When you are finished, add your signature to the end of your message.
To do this, first move your text insertion cursor to the end of your message. Then, do any of the following:- In the editor toolbar, select the
button. - Enter four tilde characters using your keyboard. This will look like the following:
~~~~.
On a US keyboard, this is done by pressing the following key combinations four times: ⇧ Shift+`. Please see this chart for more information on how to type the tilde character.
- In the editor toolbar, select the
- Select Publish changes.
A new thread will appear at the bottom of this talk page with your message.
How to respond to an existing thread
Threads are organized by their Subject. Subjects are written as a Level 2 heading—large text with a grey underline—along with an edit link. If you would like to reply to an existing thread, do the following:
- In the thread you would like to reply to, select the edit link next to the thread's Subject.
- In the editor, move your text insertion cursor to the bottom of the page.
- Type your response.
- When you are finished, add your signature to the end of your message.
