Description Jean-Daniel Dodin 2005-08-19 17:21:34 UTC 
If I understand well the mediawiki way of life, discussion pages have some goals:

* discuss :-)
* ask a specific question, one who can be deleted as soon as the answer is given
* propose an article

in that later case, somebody :-) should move the article to the right place. In
that case most talk pages should never have a TOC shown :-)

users can do this job (I can), but as the wiki is rapidly moving and enhancing
(thanks to your work) it's yet a delicate job. Only a few know what will be the
near future aspect.

So you should be the candidate to do the move :-);

It's will soon be the moment to create a "wiki layout" page to give little more
consistency to this (3 weeks :-) old wiki.

sincerely
jdd

I think you got a good point there. IMHO the talk pages should work like the 
following: 
 
1. someone opens a question 
2. people contribute to that question 
3. at some point, the guy in 1. should agree with a possible solution and 
close the discussion. 
4. The result could go into an article, a tip or just a FAQ. 
 
I just don't know how we can handle that right now. Adding some people to CC
