'''Talk pages''' (also known as '''discussion pages''') are [[Wikipedia:Administration#Data structure and development|administration pages]] where editors can discuss improvements to articles or other Wikipedia pages. The talk page associated with an article is named "Talk:Example", where "Example" is the name of the article. For example, the talk page for discussion of improvements to the article [[Emulators on Windows]] is named [[Talk:Emulators on Windows]].

When viewing an article (or any other non-talk page) on the desktop Wikipedia, a link to the corresponding talk page appears on the "Talk" tab at the top of the page. Click this tab to switch to the talk page. On the mobile Wikipedia, type "Talk:" and the article's name in the search bar. (There are [[mw:Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|plans]] to provide easier talk access on mobile.)

[[wikipedia:WP:User pages|User pages]] also have associated talk pages (for example, [[User talk:SonofUgly]] for [[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly's userpage]].). When other editors need to contact you, they will usually do this by leaving a message on [[Special:mytalk|your talk page]]. When someone has left you a message that way, you will either see an information notice the next time you log in or view a page on the Wiki if you are editing as an IP address, or a if you are logged in.

When using a talk pages use [[Help:Signature|Signature]]s to identify to the reader(s) who is speaking to them.
