Hmm. The styling of the comments linked from the numbers on the left at http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Main_Page is much better than the numbers on the right at https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/5e7ed624986d which are compressed way too thin, to be viable for significant discussions (eg this long and friendly discussion/collaboration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Georges_M%C3%A9li%C3%A8s_filmography
I'd made a semi-related brainstorm/slideshow, back in October, after being inspired by the "comment" system in Googledocs, and all the whitespace at the side of iteration#2 of the Typography Refresh. https://imgur.com/a/Kn3HZ (description above, and source-links below, each of the images) I'm intrigued by the possibility of attaching comment-threads to specific locations of a content-page. Eg. having a thread autogenerated, when someone adds a {{clarification needed}} inline template to an article, prompting them for a "reason=" as the first comment in the thread. I have no idea if/how that'd work at a technical level. (I did run the idea by one programmer a few months ago, who lamented that it was 'inconceivable' with the current software, to which I gave the obvious <https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6hTXBro5AbI/UsTDHIuyIvI/AAAAAAAABVU/cDI4JrW9RlU/s1600/that-word-means.gif> riposte.) Thanks for the pointer. :) On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 8:41 AM, Quim Gil <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting use of comments related to paragraphs in wiki pages -- > functional in MediaWiki and deployed in a top site.
