The Action buttons are located at the top of each article and provide access to the standard tools concerning an article.
Overview
From left to right:
- Page: the standard view of an article displays the text as it appears in its current form (also known as read mode).
- Discussion: also known as "talk". This opens an article's discussion page.
- Edit: access to the Editor which is used to create new or edit existing articles.
- History: access to the version history of an article
- Watch: allows a user to add the article to his/ her Watchlist
Page
The Page tab is the standard read mode, whenever you open an article page this is the view you will start with.
Discussion
The purpose of the Discussion page is to serve as the article's discussion page where any problems, questions, remarks etc. can be posted.
Clicking on the Discussion tab opens the article's discussion page (also known as "talk" page, not to be confused with a User talk page). If the inscription of tab is coloured red this simply means that no discussion page has yet been created - but every user can do so if necessary. Clicking on not yet existing pages automatically opens the Editor to create the Discussion page.
If a Discussion page for this article already exists, it will open in standard read mode:
To post on already existing discussion pages the Editor has to be manually opened by clicking on "edit". Clicking on the "+" symbol next to "edit" will automatically generate a new section:
Do note that although they look almost identical this "edit" is not the same as the "edit" for the article itself (because you have activated the Discussion tab; if you want to edit the article itself and not its Discussion page, you first have to click on the Page tab again to activate the article).
