User blog comment:Poseidon133/Why do some wikis have talk pages?/@comment-1038387-20150415102423/@comment-1038387-20150415122039

Article talk pages are easy - they work in exactly the same way as mainspace pages. You can divide discussions in headers, easily find them back, contribute and remove in one specific topic. Article comments are just comments - short, spur of the moment snippets that rarely add anything substantial. No actual constructive discussion can be held in comments. Using talk over comments adds a bit of a threshold to contributing, which in some cases is necessary.

As for Starfox's comment - I didn't mean "standard" as in "gold standard", more like "default". Tiny translation error in my head.

And, as mentioned above, SIGZ!
