Talk page indentation[]
Another "Welcome to Memory Alpha!", and on top of the above, another small note: For our talk pages, we've devised a system to easily keep track of who said what by having each participant use a unique indentation. If you first join a discussion, choose the smallest number of colons that isn't in use yet, and prefix every new line with that number of colons
- like this, if you are the second one to join,
- or this, if you are the third,
- and back to this, if #2 replies to #3.
This will properly indent all your comments. Thanks. -- Cid Highwind (talk) 15:15, October 20, 2013 (UTC)
