Talk pages have their discussion topics ordered chronologically into sections. When you start a new topic, create it manually at the bottom of the page or use the '''(+)''' button to do this automatically. This helps keep everything in order. Please title your section appropriately so everyone can see at a glance what you are talking about.

When you reply to a section started by someone else, [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode#Text formatting|indent your comments]] to distinguish them from the previous comments. New comments in a section must always go at the bottom of the section, regardless of where the comment being replied to is in the discussion; this helps keep comments in order and prevents confusion as to what had been discussed prior to specific comments.
