So now you tell me...  Seriously though, I didn't want a universal replacement, there are a few key references left, and I didn't use the exact same replacement in all cases.  Sometimes it was an extraneous word I dropped, sometimes I put lens selection, sometimes lens.

Welcome!

Welcome to the wiki. :) -NottNott (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

On talk pages

That's it! Talk pages are just regular pages with a designated purpose. 'User talk:' is the namespace.

At the moment, because the wiki is COMPLETELY stock with no extensions or anything, the notification system won't work well. Normally I can type something like {{re|Dlskidmore}} to notify you regardless of the talk page you posted to. As it stands, you shouldn't get notified if I replied to your message you left on my talk page. I might be wrong, but you shouldn't. -NottNott (talk) 19:36, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Yup! You can stack multiple colons to indent as well. Talk pages are pretty easy, don't you think? There's extensions that can make this system even more foolproof, but I really don't think the learning curve is that hard.
Like this
Or like this.

So, assuming the notification system was working, and you sent me a message on my talk page:

Something -Dlskidmore

:{{re|Dlskidmore}} Response. -NottNott

Is how discussion would work. -NottNott (talk) 19:45, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
