The purpose of a talk page  is to provide space for editors to discuss changes directly relating to its associated article or project page.
To maintain a cooperative atmosphere on the site, it is required for all editors and administrators to maintain civility, not be unnecessarily aggressive and [[WikiIslam:Assume Good Faith|assume good faith]] while communicating with others; newcomers in particular. Edit summaries and log comments are also required to follow these rules.


Acceptable topics for discussion include concerns directly relating to the page, such as inaccuracies, formatting, renaming, merging and suggestions for further improvement. They are not there for debating the content of the article or for general attacks on the site or users of the site.  
Do not remove or alter another user's message (unless it clearly violates talk page guidelines), do not use profanities and do not use [[Ad Hominem|ad hominem]] or threats against another user or the site.


If your comment does not directly relate to improving the article, it may be deleted without a response, or moved to the appropriate location. Comments that do get a response may be deleted from the page after some time.
For continuity of discussion, comments should be kept on the same talk page where they were initiated. All new discussion topics should be given a relevant heading and created at the bottom of the page, below all previous discussions. Each new message should be [[WikiIslam:Signatures|signed]] and follow the rules concerning [[WikiIslam:Indentation|indentation]].


The reason for this rule is to not create disruptions on talk pages, and to not take up our editors time. Debating can be time-consuming and is not what this website is here for.  
You should avoid excessive emphasis and be concise; capital letters are considered shouting, and long, rambling messages or SMS language may be difficult to understand and will be ignored.


If you would like to debate issues concerning Islam, please use  a forum, e.g. the [http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/index.php FFI forum] (you will have to create a separate account there if you do not have one already). For questions about how to use or edit WikiIslam, leave a message at the [[Help talk:Contents#Help Desk|Help Desk]]. And for general inquiries/suggestions, use the [[WikiIslam:Forum|Forum]] page.
To maintain a collegial atmosphere between editors of different faiths and backgrounds, it is suggested to not make comments critical of other religious beliefs or the lack of belief in any religion. Depending on the situation comments containing hate speech or extreme views may be removed.


==Etiquette==
Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the offending messages being edited or removed or your user account being [[WikiIslam:Blocking Policy|blocked]] from editing WikiIslam, depending on the severity of your actions.
