Of course you can always use your favorite social media platform (Twitter, Facebook, reddit) to talk to other FeministWiki editors, if they have an account on the same platform.  Otherwise you might also be able to find them on the FeministWiki web forum, on the FeministWiki chat platform, or you could send an e-mail to their FeministWiki e-mail address (like "janedoe@feministwiki.org").  See the related help pages on how to use those methods.
However on the wiki, there is also a primitive but tightly integrated way to talk to each other: talk pages.  There are article talk pages and user talk pages.

When you've created a new topic on the talk page to discuss something with other editors, you might want to make sure that they're notified of this.  See the next section for instructions on how to directly contact an editor, so you can make sure that they see the topic you started in the talk page.
