Removed #StructuredDiscussions section, and tweaked the #Signing comments

(Split #StructuredDiscussions and #Signing comments into two sections, and updated prose, since StructuredDiscussions seems to have been abandoned by Miraheze (and probably by Wikimedia Foundation, too))

Wikipedia has detailed guidance on the use of talk pages. See [[wikipedia:Help:Talk pages]] to learn more.
 
== StructuredDiscussions ==
:''main: [[Project:StructuredDiscussions]]''
 
In 2020, we experimented with "StructuredDiscusssions" (also known as "Flow"). This is a feature that [[Wikimedia Foundation]] was developing for [[English Wikipedia]]. It's not entirely clear how the Wikimedia Foundation plans to make Talk page more usable, but as of this writing (20:14, 25 October 2023 (UTC)), we're going to be using old-school policy and conventions here on electowiki.
 
== Signing comments ==
The several tilde signs ("<code><nowiki>~</nowiki></code>) in a row have special meaning on all wiki pages, and are especially useful on Talk pages:
 
* 3 tildes ("<code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code>") is replaced with your user id and a link to your talk page (e.g. "[[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]])")
* 4 tildes ("<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>") to put both your user id, a link to your talk page, and the date and time in UTC (e.g. "[[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 20:14, 25 October 2023 (UTC)")
* 5 tildes ("<code><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></code>") to put ''just'' the date and time in UTC (e.g. "20:14, 25 October 2023 (UTC)")
