Click on the Discuss this page button at the bottom of a page to get to the associated talk page. To discuss a new topic simply append the talk page with a level 2 heading and a description, followed by your signature using four tildes(~~~~). To reply to anyone, indent your response with a : sign (: indents once. :: indents twice and so on). Here is how a discussion would look like in a wikitext and when it renders as you click Save page.
