Summary
Review what you've learned
Not all article and user talk pages are monitored by other editors. This is particularly true for more obscure topics, which often have less well-developed articles and can go years without human activity on their talk page.
If you want to edit a more obscure article and feel confident, just be bold and do so, ensuring that the edit is within Justapedia policy. However, if you'd like to discuss a potential change first in order to get a second opinion or seek help, you can start a discussion on the talk page and then inform one of the article's editors on their user talk page.
If they seem active, post an invitation to their talk page to join the discussion. You can use {{subst:Please see|Talk:Page name#Section name}} to do this or just write it out, but do not start the same discussion in multiple places. If no one replies after a few days, you can also ask for help at The Lounge. You can attract attention from the broader community of potentially interested editors by posting at The Exchange.
Talk pages are used for many different types of discussions, including proposed mergers, splits, and moves (title changes). However. Justapedia is not social media - talk pages are intended for discussing Justapedia business.
