I'm in favor of removing "discussion" pages as a separate concept. I like a simple interface with a few easy to figure out functions. Discussion pages, as far as I know, are simply wiki pages anyway. --Masonz 13:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, but then we would probably have to remove the "page" link under the page menu as well. I guess this might be a good thing anyway, since this is a slightly confusing link. --Mboutin 14:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
