Wikipedia:Use the new section button!
![]() | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
You've probably been pointed here because you're committing (or have committed) a cardinal sin on Wikipedia, namely - editing the final section of a talk page to put a new (entirely unrelated) section at the bottom (and kept the default edit summary).
Why does this matter?
When you do this, it makes it look like you are responding to the (at the time) final section on that person's talk page and it may cause people to unnecessarily visit the talk page if they were following that thread.
Repenting
At the top of most talk and noticeboard pages is a "new section" button (sometimes shortened to "+"). Please consider using this handy button to create a new section, rather than hanging it off another section's coattails.
Alternatively, remember to blank the default edit summary so as to not cause confusion.
