Autoupdating Discussions

What do you think about people having an automatically updated copy of a VP discussion they start in their own user space (I'm trying this here, actually). This could even be used to have a discussion about a topic between two users on both user's pages. --Sgeo^TC 01:39, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)

Considering that I posted a reply to the above thread in this thread by mistake, needs some work. Might be handy, but I think it would also be a pain to keep straight. crazyeddie 06:12, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I did this myself to make sure I have all the answers in a convenient place before it's archived. Most people click the correct link in large pages like the help and reference desks, so I don't expect much problems. Personally, I think it's a great idea. Just go ahead.

Well this certainly confused me when I tried to archive this discussion just now. Which I do by editing the "section" to be archived, selecting all the text of and doing a cut and paste. In this case that meant "blanking" your user subpage. This will make archiving a lot harder, if I have to check to see whether the "section" I'm editing is really an included subpage. Then if so just copy without deleting, then go back to the VP and delete the include — difficult and prone to error. Paul August ☎ 23:27, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
