Be bold! Anerdw (talk) 06:01, 24 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

I'm a newbie, so I'm using the talk page, and I don't know what the original intention was. Njsm22 (talk) 06:48, 24 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Newbies are welcome and encouraged to edit boldly, just like everyone else! Worst case, someone reverts your edit, so no harm done. Best case, you improve the page for future users. :) Anerdw (talk) 22:45, 24 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

There's still the question of the original intention and I'm unsure how to do it anyway. Njsm22 (talk) 00:59, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
