 Hi again (and, as someone who was deleted in your start-over, yup, that was fine...). Just want to repeat (then exand upon) something I said on a User page that you created. i.e. that anybody who hasn't got a User page, and has been around a while, ''probably'' isn't looking to get one. And, as you have discovered, anyone too new to create their own can always ask for it. It is good that you're now have page-creation rights, but best not to do that too much (if at all) until you have a bit more experience behind you. There are many cases where pages have to be marked for deletion (not that they get deleted very quickly, but the intent is valid) that might have been better not to have been made real in the first place.

−	~~:::The standard method is~~ to add an indent (or an extra one, on top of what's already there) when making a reply. A line starting with one or more :s will automatically line-feed itself from whatever is prior. Demonstrated for you (having copied ''just before'' Favi replied again~~), hope you don't mind~~.
−	:::And if you're doing multiple paragraphs at the same level of reply (other than zero indent - see below), it sorts itself. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.15\|162.158.74.15]] 18:33, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

−	Or, ~~if someone starts a new comment, two line-feeds forces the newline (where one doesn't render after just the one). And it also looks better in the editor, as the gap (together~~ with ~~the observeed number of colons, or lack of them) shows what's separate and what follows on from elsewhere. Not~~ that ~~all Talk pages are always so neat, but if you go and look at the appearance/'edit text' of any fairly busy comic Talk page, you'll probably see how it works.~~	+	So, with that over, welcome to my talk page!

−	<br/>Personally, I restrict br-tags for when I'm starting a new paragraph of the same (no-indent) comment, like this. But I suspect there's multiple schools of thoughts whether the br should sit at the end of one stretch of text (where it might indicate "no, I haven't forgotten to sign, continues on next line") or at the start of the next (as I've done here, for completely different aesthetic reasons).
