Section headings
Headings organize your writing into sections.
The Wiki software can automatically generate
a table of contents from them.
Subsection
Using more equals signs creates a subsection.
A smaller subsection
Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.
Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.

[edit] Formatting
Because the wiki software platform provides for a wide range of formatting styles, proper or at least consistent formatting is essential to maintaining readable talk pages.
The reference of a comment is determined by the number of colons (':') in front of it. If a reply is made to a statement, one adds a colon to the number of colons used in the statement being replied to. This style of conversation is easy to read.
Example:
|
How's the soup? --[[Bob]]
:It's great!! --[[Lisa]]
::Not too bad.. --[[George]]
:::I made it myself! --[[Bob]]
I think the soup-discussion should be moved to [[Talk:Soup]].. --[[Lisa]]
:I tend to disagree. --[[George]]
|
The above will produce this:
|
How's the soup? --Bob
- It's great!! --Lisa
- Not too bad.. --George
- I made it myself! --Bob
I think the soup-discussion should be moved to Talk:Soup.. --Lisa
- I tend to disagree. --George
