In general, you can use what children understand or do not understand as
good indicator of user friendliness in general, even it comes to grown-ups
:-)
In my view, the point you raise is a general issue. Also grown-ups have to
figure out how to communicate with others users in a Mediawiki environment
and it is a barrier. For articles it seems ok. For user discussion it only
allows those through that really want to. It puzzled me when I first
approached Mediawiki
Also, the idea that a dialog hops back and forth between different user
pages is as such somewhat strange. It more or less requires that you rss the
approriate history pages to keep up with answers you get. Or at least that
was I figured out. I have 5-10 different rss's running for 5-10 different
wikis where I asked for this and that when I was first investigating
Mediawiki as a solution for my project - ...
I wonder if someone out there have experiences with extensions that address
these issues - or if something is planned for future versions of Mediawiki.
LiquidThreads looks like something that could be useful - but it also looks
like a big beast ...

Or of course you could over-ride it in
[[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] with:
#p-cactions li a {
text-transform: none;
}
