I don't consider myself a supporter of this feature as we yet have to try it out. I just think using wiki pages to send messages is like using a riding lawn mover to commute on a highway. You could certainly do it, but I believe using the right tools for the right job, especially with something we do often enough.

I also challenge the presumption that simplifying things will "cater idiots". You mentioned that majority of your teammates are inexperienced with HTML or wikitext so you the only one left out to do the job. Are most of them idiots? I certainly hope not. A person may be a subject matter expert but not savvy enough to even use a computer. My grandmother would be an excellent contributor for Recipes Wiki, but do you honestly expect her to figure out a talk page faster than she can figure out a facebook wall?
