The reason why it is not called "Discussion Page" is just that we do not want to fix the usage of these pages. It is just an additional "supplemental" page for the main page, no matter whether you discuss on it, flame on it, write a todo on it, translate stuff to chinese on it, or whatever :) The reasons why this is not active by default is because its usage as "discussion page" is questionable. Sometimes, like when you want to have a "clean" main page, like for a public encyclopedia, you maybe rather want to have such a feature. OTOH, it creates 2 classes of people and contributions: the ones that are bold enough to write and "defend" their stuff on the main page, and the rest that lives on the comment page. Also, commenting at another place and not directly inline is harder, because you have to repeat some stuff or exactly describe what you are referring to. The more wiki way is to just comment inline and find some consensus about the one-and-only page contents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
