Summary

Description
English: Indentation (typesetting) Mind the hierarchy, avoid interference.

This animation explains through a simple example why it is important to mind the hierarchy in a discussion, to avoid confusion and misunderstanding. At the left, the user:Example4 correctly understands that "Bucharest" is an answer for the first question starting the discussion, while at the right, "Bucharest" seems to be the response for the question "Then what is the capital of Yugoslavia" written by user:Example2. As we usually don't check all the timestamps for every comment, it is important to avoid interference, for more clarity in general, but also by respect for the other users.

For more details about indentation on the wiki projects, see en:Wikipedia:THREAD and en:Wikipedia:INDENT.
