To discuss a new topic, start a new section by going to a new line and typing a title like this: <tt>== Heading ==</tt>, replacing "Heading" with a suitable title for the topic you wish to raise. Place new discussions at the ''bottom'' of the page. You can also use the tab labeled "new section", at the top of a talk page, which performs these steps automatically. This adds a new item number to the "Contents" box on the page you are editing. | To discuss a new topic, start a new section by going to a new line and typing a title like this: <tt>== Heading ==</tt>, replacing "Heading" with a suitable title for the topic you wish to raise.
