Convenient Discussions is a JavaScript tool providing a shell over the existing Wikipedia discussion system that allows the user to post and edit comments without switching to a separate page.

The full set of the script features includes much more:
 * creation of topics and subsections;
 * highlighting of new and own messages;
 * indication of the number of new messages since the last visit;
 * browser notifications about replies to the user's messages and comments in specific sections on opened pages (opt-in);
 * watching sections, which affects notifications and highlighting edits on pages that list revisions;
 * jumping to a specific comment from the watchlist and other pages that list revisions;
 * moving topics between talk pages;
 * autofilling the edit summary for comments with indication of the addressee of the comment;
 * saving comment drafts to restore the forms content after unexpected events such as browser crashes, accidental jumps to a different page etc.

Usage
Although a generic version will be available soon, it's best to use versions that are configured to use on particular wikis, because every wiki has its own peculiarities that the script can address. Depending on a wiki, they can exist as gadgets or user scripts.

The script is located at User:Jack who built the house/convenientDiscussions.js and can be loaded like this:

Data
Here's what the script stores, why, how, and how to delete the data. Note that you can delete all the data associated with the script in one click, by opening the script settings and pressing the button "Remove all script data" in the bottom.

Note that other scripts that you use on wiki pages, as well as side-wide scripts, may have access to this data too.

To execute the code in the "How to delete" column, open the browser's developer tools (done by pressing F12 in most browsers), switch to the "Console" tab, paste the code into the input and press Enter.
