There is a set of instructions under the article tab that says:

"We would like to record all of this as a "Discussion", so click on that tab and enter your thoughts. When you have completed entering your suggestion please enter 4 tildes (~), this is a fast way to enter your name, date and time.

Thank you for your feedback!"

I do not understand these instructions. If I want to create/edit an article why would I want (or anyone else want) it recorded as a Discussion? If I follow these instructions there is no way to create or edit an article because I must go to the discussion tab to follow the instructions. So perhaps the author of this instruction could find another way to word it so that dummies like me could make heads or tails of it. Are you asking us to copy the article from the article tab into the discussion tab? Or are you genuinely trying to prevent us from working in the article tab? Or do you want us to create or edit the article only in the discussion tab (and if so who and when will the article be tranferred from the discussion tab into the article tab)?
