Chat about an article, write to someone, etc. For any given page, its discussion page can be accessed by clicking on the “Discussion” tab at the top left.
Discussion pages are an integral part of Wikipedia and are therefore subject to the same basic principles (publication under free license). With some exceptions, all chat rooms can be edited like any other article.To remember[edit source]
Any Wikipedia page - an article, a user page, a project, a help page, etc. - has a discussion page accessible through the "Discussion" tab, located at the top of the page, on the left. The talk page is often called “PoD” in jargon. Every discussion page has a history (like articles) which lets you know who has participated.
Why discuss?[edit source]
Discussion is necessary to improve the articles, solve a problem in relation to the article, but also solve a technical problem or simply seek help from more experienced contributors.
Sometimes disagreements arise between Wikipedia contributors. The essential rule is therefore to explain yourself and give others the opportunity to do the same on the discussion pages. Generally speaking, it is believed that "there cannot be a perfect article without discussion".

To be sure to find the discussion page and be alerted to a response, consider adding it to your watchlist by clicking on the black and red star at the top right of the "View history" tab.
