Template:Discussion tracker

---

Usage

This template is meant to be placed on a user page or user talk page.

Use the text {{Discussion tracker}} to create the box.

The top of your talk page is probably the most suitable place.

Note that the same functions can be served by clicking My contributions (or User contributions, if viewing another person's user page or talk page) and selecting from the Namespace drop-down menu. The advantages of this template are that:

• it is slightly more convenient
• it acts as a reminder to check past discussions
• it is easier for people who are not deeply familiar with this aspect of wiki sites.

Issues

Note that the links on this template will not show changes to discussion pages which are not in a "talk": namespace (for example Wikipedia:Help desk).

This template is copied from Appropedia:Template:Discussion tracker. That template also contains a link to all recent changes on community portal pages. This is done through using the url of the "Related changes" link from a header template which links all community portal pages. This could be replicated here, showing all recent changes on Wikipedia community portal pages, by creating another template or page which links all desired pages, regardless of whether that page is used in the same way as the Appropedia template.
