There are good points about this. I am not yet convinced, but I am warming to the idea of Message Wall. I wouldn't like it if I wasn't made optional though. This new Message Wall is not going to be as easy as they think to use. Before one had the option (on most wikis) of editing talk pages in visual mode and source mode. I have realized that I am safe, and that is why I am not that worried about this coming in, but someone that has just joined has to learn all the Wikitext to just be able to get their point across. So I am at 4.5 out of 10. Just because it could be harder to use for new users. SA
