Help talk:Talk pages

Question about leaving messages

 * I've read both the wikia and wikipedia help on talk pages, and can find no explicit answer to this.
 * Is it at all normal for people to NOT reply to a message and instead leave the response on the person's talk page instead? In effect, fracturing the conversation across multiple pages.
 * This page implicitly says "Reply on the same page" when it says: "When replying to a comment, indent your reply by placing a colon (":") at the beginning of a line.".
 * Does Wikipedia:MULTI apply to this? -User452 17:44, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to answer my own question with: this link to wikipedia. "You should always take a quick look at the top of a user talk page before posting there, to see if there's a note saying that the editor will respond on his own user talk page, and similarly that if the editor posted to your user talk page, you should reply there." Exactly what I wanted, thanks! -User452 17:58, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
