The function of this page

What this page is intended for

• Lostpedia:Talk is used to discuss the technical issues, policies, and operations of Lostpedia.
  • This page was created to disambiguate discussion about all of Lostpedia from that specifically concerning the Main Page, the previous home for what is discussed here.
  • Proposals for new policies should be posted here, for the entire community to discuss.
  • Proposing new tabs, page structure modifications and other new ideas that can be applied to all of Lostpedia, should be posted here for discussion.
  • General problems that affect Lostpedia (e.g. vandalism) that are discovered by any member of the community may be reported on this page to notify administrators, if still unsolved after some time.

What this page is not intended for

• Lostpedia: Talk is not to discuss issues involving individual pages. Such content should be posted on the talk page associated with the article.
  • i.e. The Shannon Rutherford page needs new pictures. This should be discussed on the Shannon Rutherford talk page.
