How to have a discussion in a wiki

Hey Neovo! =) I saw your restructuring of the Q&A page and wanted to suggest to do it in the way like it is done at Wikipedia. The way you've done it, there is no chance to really discuss something 'cause there is no connection between the posting of person A and person B while everyone got an own chapter. If there are more people discussing on different topics it might become a mess. So how is it done at Wikipedia? Each topic got a section. If you want to answer to a persons posting you can scroll behind the posting, hit enter to start a new line and begin it with a colon. It will be displayed as an intended line then. After finishing the post, one can sign it with four tildes ~~~~. It will automatically turn into the username (with profile link) and a timestamp, so everyone knows who wrote and when. That way, the discussion is almost like in a forum (but non-linear). These are just suggestions. I don't wanna step on your foot or something. =) Greetings, Zai Lynch 15:47, 17 January 2008 (PST)
