Some talk pages should have a "Footnotes" section (e.g. like this page has a "[[#Footnotes]]" section), especially if any comments use the "<code><nowiki><references/></nowiki></code>" tag. The "Footnotes" section needs the <code><nowiki><references/></nowiki></code> tag in order to collect the references scattered throughout the comments. |

Wikipedia has detailed guidance on the use of talk pages. See wikipedia:Help:Talk pages to learn more.
StructuredDiscussions
As of 2020-07-10, we're experimenting with "StructuredDiscusssions" (also known as "Flow"). This is a feature that Wikimedia Foundation is developing for English Wikipedia. See Project:StructuredDiscussions for more. -- unsigned comment by RobLa - unknown timestamp (UTC)

References
Anything that shows up wrapped with "<ref></ref>" will show up in one of the following sections:
- The "Footnotes" section at the bottom of the page (if someone was kind enough to add that)
- Wherever the
<references/>tag is inserted on the page (if someone added that) - Someplace random, probably at the bottom of the page.
User:RobLa would like to make it a convention that we all add a "Footnotes" section to the bottom of the page.
Footnotes
Some talk pages should have a "Footnotes" section (e.g. like this page has a "#Footnotes" section), especially if any comments use the "<references/>" tag. The "Footnotes" section needs the <references/> tag in order to collect the references scattered throughout the comments.
