Hi all,
A half-serious feature request. Would it be possible to extend
Wikimedia to allow templates that have effects in other namespaces?
The most obvious application would be for adding text to another
user's talk page without actually having to edit it. It would
certainly make talk discussions easier than the current situation...
Alfred writes on Bertie's talk page:
Hello, your latest addition sucks
Bertie replies on her talk page:
{{usertalk|Alfred|No it doesn't. You're mean.}}
This template makes the text appear on the talk page, but also somehow
makes an elegant link to the discussion appear on Alfred's talk page.
There may be other ways of solving this particularly awkward
situation, in which either you have to monitor other users' talk
pages, copy the entire conversation back and forth, or create two
separate conversation halves at different locations.
