Optional: Turn your Response into a New Article

If discussion has already started of the part you want to discuss, simply find that section on the index and jump to it and start writing. But if discussion of that section has not already begun, this article explains how to post new discussion so that as people are reading through the Constitution and come to that section, they will find your discussion.

This will be too complicated for many people who want to join the discussion. You can help them if you are willing, by correcting other posts which are in the wrong place or aren't linked correctly.

What your discussion will look like, in "edit" mode.

(Notice that: (1) The word "Discussion" is in bold, and there is a single space to its left. (2) The number code is in front of the section title, which are both surrounded by double "equals" signs. (3) The link back to the section you discuss has a bracket [ on the left, then a space on the right, then the words followed by a bracket "Back to the UTSS proposed Constitution]"

You will add, to the end of the section you discuss, (in the "Page" file), a link to your discussion like this:

[LinkToYourDiscussion Discussion]

Easiest way to do all that

1. Open a new document in any word processing program, that you can use for a clipboard.

2. Go back in the "Saving South Sudan" file, to the paragraph and its heading that you will discuss. Go to "edit" mode. Copy it to your new document.

3. Scroll up, in the "Saving South Sudan" file, to the index. Find the paragraph you will discuss. Copy its URL (web address) either by clicking on it and then copying the URL in your browser after you are taken there, or, on a computer, by right-clicking and selecting "Copy Link Address".

4. Copy the URL to the bottom of your new document.

5. Put a bracket [ on the left of the URL. On the right, one space, then "Return to proposed UTSS Constitution", then a bracket ].

6. Scroll to the top of the "Saving South Sudan" file, and click "talk".

7. On the "talk" page, find the index. Compare the number codes in the index with the number code of the paragraph you are discussing. Click on the index entry just ABOVE where your discussion should go.

8. Now you are at the index entry above where your discussion goes. Click "edit", and under the existing discussion, copy all you have: the heading and number code of the section you are discussing, and the link back to that section.

9. Now, two lines under the paragraph you are discussing, add a space, then click "bold" in the formatting menu at the top of your edit space, then type "Discussion".

10. Two spaces farther down, begin your discussion.

11. Click "save page", which takes you out of "edit" mode and puts you in "read" mode. Sroll up to the index on the "talk" page. Find your discussion, which the Table of Contents has automatically just added. Click on it.

12. Now you are in "read" mode, enjoying the glorious new discussion you have just added. Copy its url in your browser. Now click on the "Return to proposed UTSS Constitution" link at the bottom of your discussion. Now you are in "read" mode of the section of the Constitution which you are discussing. Click "edit". Now, at the end of that section, 2 lines down, type a bracket [, then copy the url to your discussion, then a single space, then the word "Discussion", then a bracket ]. That is:
