Every registered user has [[Special:MyPage|their own user page]] (you can access yours at the top-right of the screen, by clicking on your user name). This is your personal page, which you can use however you see fit. Most people use it to talk about themselves, or to save drafts of articles they are working on. This can be useful if you're working on a major new page (or are heavily rewriting an existing page), as you can work on it at your own pace without leaving the original page in a completely disjointed state. Note that this page isn't technically "private" (anyone can read and edit it), although you generally shouldn't edit other people's user pages without their consent.

You also have a "user discussion page" (the "my talk" link next to your user name, at the top-right of the screen), where other people can leave you messages. Alternatively, if you want to contact someone, you can go to the #wiki channel on the EVE Uni [[Discord]] or send them a [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/ucp.php?i=pm&folder=inbox private message] via the E-UNI forum.

If you feel a certain page requires discussion prior to major changes, each page comes with its own discussion page (the link is at the top-left of a page). This is really just a regular wiki page, so adding comments to it works exactly the same way as adding to any other wiki article. To sign the message with your name, end your message with four tildes. <nowiki>( ~~~~ )</nowiki>

If a page is protected and locked from editing by normal users, please use that page's Discussion tab to propose simple or obvious changes. This makes it straightforward for a manager or director to copy the wiki code, if provided. More complex discussions about page content typically occur on the EVE Uni #wiki [[Discord]] channel or [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=54 in the Forums].
