Yeah, but the Talk Page can be protected against edits. I don't know if that's possible with the the Message Walls.

Personally I dislike the idea. The Talk pages works perfectly fine, they act as a record or achive, and if a newbie wants to discuss an issue without use the Talk page, we have the Articles's comment section, the personal blog  and the forums. Also the change going to make us lose all the info stored into the talk pages.

Besides, knowing this fandom I'm afraid it will happen the same when we activated the article's comments: A massive flood of spam from the anons, which  It TOOK MONTHS before it began to  diminish.
