You are welcome to leave questions here for which you are seeking an answer. You may also find posting your question at https://bahai-library.com/forum or another online forum will find people able to answer your question.

However, one of the advantages of a wiki is that, unlike a discussion forum, you can place your questions in a way which will likely to be found in the future. So, besides having the options to post questions here, you have these options:

  1. Preferred method: The entire wiki site can itself serve as a repository of questions (according to subject); you can add questions on article pages. This is the preferred method of asking a question, as it ensures that questions can best be found in context, and so that the relevant wiki article can be organically fleshed out for the benefit of others as well. If you just leave your question on a question page, others might not find the answer. To use this approach:
    1. Please indicate questions in italics at the end of article pages or at the end of relevant sections on such pages (or otherwise set the question apart from the rest of the article), if you think your question may be of interest to others to be answered on an article page.
    2. Add the code [[Category:Question]] to any wiki page to indicate that that page includes a question and have the page thus show up at the Category:Question page so people can view a page listing all unanswered questions.
  2. You can create a special page for your question, using your user page as a base. For example, I (brettz9) could create a question at my user page like this: User:Brettz9/What's the meaning of life?. You can also list your page as belonging to the question category (see above).

You can also do the following:

Links to question pages[edit]

You can manually add links to question pages here (e.g., on your user page or subpage or an article which lists a question).

  • [[add link with double brackets around it]]
  • etc.

Questions[edit]

You can also add the questions manually here (less preferred but ok, esp. if you're in a rush and expect that your question should not be too difficult to answer). Please organize by topic.

  • question1
  • question2
  • etc.
