Broken talk pages?

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Wiki Home

I don't see the reply button on the bottom anymore, just to the right.

That's not broken, just different.

Saiyr (talk)12:08, 7 February 2014

Though some what inconvenient, because all replies are now pyramids.

Nise Panda (talk)12:14, 7 February 2014

Oh god no...

レキシス・ミカヤ (talk)14:09, 7 February 2014

I find the slightly indenting Pyramid (a la Reddit) to be much more readable than the weird templates you guys use to quote, personally. And it doesn't have to be a pyramid, you just have to scroll up and hit the reply a level above.

The problem I have with this is well, Reddit is a community of +millions. So of course they're going to need a things that collapses once it's too long. But I find the talk page useful at times, because sometimes it has info on the changes the page went through. So it just seems nicer to read all the info in a row, as if they were an addition to the other.

Reddit also has a better format for it? I guess one can say.

Threaded discussion existed long before Reddit as well. Size of the community is orthogonal to hierarchical threading. Let me be frank here: This extension has required a lot of upkeep to keep it working with newer versions of MediaWiki without upgrading the extension itself. If I have to keep maintaining it at its (crappy, buggy) state, I'm going to need very good reasons. There's an official MediaWiki project going on that can eventually replace this (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow), but it's not ready yet. I'll be keeping my eye on it. If you want it to fit your needs, you should too.

I just hope people follow suit then :c

Can we downgrade?. . . These pyramids make it annoying-er to read, in my opinion.

Kapra - (Talk)16:21, 7 February 2014

Yes, I agree.

Even if it were to change, it wouldn't be for a week or 2 so more input/opinions can be gathered. I don't see a reason to change it if only ~4 people (basing this off of the ones who've said they dislike it for one reason or another).

Can't say I prefer one layout over the other, but this one at least makes it a lot easier to follow long-ass discussions.

I actually gotten used to it now. I'm okay with this.

レキシス・ミカヤ (talk)22:50, 7 February 2014
 

I prefer this version. the darker outlines make it easier to see what was a response to what, and the individual show/hide buttons seem like they might be useful. The extra reply buttons on the left in the previous version seemed convenient in theory, but too many people seemed to misunderstand their purpose so it just ended up making discussions less organized.

How do you NOT create a pyramid in this new format?

Infodude575 (talk)13:02, 8 February 2014
 

Like this.

Nise Panda (talk)13:06, 8 February 2014

Please don't be so vague...

Infodude575 (talk)13:22, 8 February 2014
 

But it's so simple. I just replied to my own post that said 'Like this.'

Nise Panda (talk)13:22, 8 February 2014
 

To be more precise, like this.

Ikkisuki (talk)13:24, 8 February 2014
 

It's really not hard o-o; Find the post you want to reply to and reply to it. I gotten used to it pretty quick.

レキシス・ミカヤ (talk)13:53, 8 February 2014
 

Oh, I see now.

I just hope newbies don't go pyramid sprees...
