Hi Uw-talkfork! I noticed that you recently started the same discussion in multiple places. For future reference, to help keep discussion centralized, please avoid this. Instead, open a discussion one on page, and then share a neutral invitation to other pages (you can use
((Please see|Destination page#Section))
for this).
Existing talk forks can be resolved by merging to a single destination: cut and paste the comments to move them from the source page to the destination page, leaving ((Moved discussion to|Destination page#Section|~~~~))
at the source and adding ((Moved discussion from|Source page#Section|~~~~))
at the destination. Thank you.
![]() | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:Uw-talkfork))). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
Usage:
((subst:Uw-talkfork))
((subst:Uw-talkfork||Additional text))
or ((subst:Uw-talkfork|2=Additional text))
adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thank you"((subst:Uw-talkfork))
rather than ((Uw-talkfork))
