Personally I have yet to see a discussion system that

general.
The exception being pages with large influxes of newbies, like
Project:Support_desk. In those pages LQT really does make a difference
to ensure things are well organized.
YMMV. Wikipedia is pretty much enculturated, but RationalWiki gets
n00bs *all the time* who object to something on a page. You know what
the most frequent reply involves? "Please learn to sign your
comments."
Talk pages really aren't a great communication mechanism for non-geeks.
(RW also suffers under a LQT installation that I desperately want to
kill and would be most pleased to replace with Flow. I'm going to take
us from 1.19 to 1.23 when that's out and stable. Possibly with the VE
faff. Will Flow be able to be bolted onto an existing 1.23?)
