Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Discussion
Discussion pages (also known as (article) "Talk" pages) are administration pages where editors can discuss improvements to articles or other Lexicanum pages. In function they are the equivalent to User talk pages, basically the main difference is that for articles these pages are called "Discussion" and for users "Talk" - many people do however still refer to them as "Article talk" and "User talk" pages respectively because the Namespace used by the MediaWiki software is indeed "Talk:..." (also see below).

Nomenclature
The Discussion page associated with an article is named "Talk:Example", where "Example" is the name of the article. For example, the Discussion page for debating improvements to the article "Land Raider Ares" is named "Talk:Land Raider Ares".
For other Namespaces the Discussion page associated with a page is named by adding "talk" after the namespace label; for example, the talk page for "Category:Lexicanum Help" is called "Category talk:Lexicanum Help".
How to access the Discussion page
