Every page on [[Pikipedia:About|Pikipedia]] has an associated talk page which can be reached via the "Discussion" link at the top of the page. The purpose of these talk pages is to discuss the article or its subject matter; in the case of user talk pages, they are used as a means of communication between users that has no particular bearing to any one page. For general discussion of the wiki or the {{ps}}, use the [[forum:index|wiki forums]] or [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?board=26.0 shared forums], respectively, instead of any ones talk page. | |||

** Be short when viewed while editing; if necessary, use a template. | |||
** Not contain many images, if any; these should be small (no more than 30px in ''height'', specified as <code>x30px</code>). | |||
** Avoid animation of any kind. | |||
** Contain a link to the user's user page or talk page. | |||
