Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Unstructered section vs. Unstructured sections (plural!)/reply (4)

I only gave #1 for the sake of completeness, I already knew it was planned.

It was #2 that I actually wanted to point out. Completely separating comments and Wikitext samples isn't a good idea for sure.
 * 1) Sounds like a good idea in terms of clarity (Wikitext samples neatly arranged at one place in the thread). It would definitely need some sort of sophisticated referencing system, though as I proposed in my initial post (which could easily get too complex in the end, I'm afraid). Otherwise it probably gets impossible to keep track of which Wikitext sample was posted by which editor.
 * 1) Could quickly get crowded when many Wikitext samples are posted and would therefore need some very well thought-out integration into the thread structure. However this is what gets closest to the current discussion system and might fit our needs best. At the very end I'd prefer Wikitext directly in comments anyway (as many other authors do) but from the statements by Brandon and others I'm afraid that will not happen, so this is possibly our best opportunity.
 * 2) Sounds like a very bad idea. Wikitext samples are needed directly alongside the comments. Further scattering contents of a talk page should be avoided at all cost.

What about offering both, #1 and #2? There would be nice usage scenarios for both of them!
