Message walls are a replacement for user talk pages that was used previously on this wiki, even previously to which talk pages were used. They work similarly to article comments and to the forum in that there is no need to bother with organizing sections or signing messages; those are advantages, but they come with the disadvantage that there is less flexibility.

I have noticed that many new users on this wiki do not sign their post when posting a message on a talk page and that many of them add their message in an inappropriate location of talk pages (such as outside of any section, at the top or in the last section in the page but without creating a new one). This results in complete disorganization and many problems. Using message walls would fix all those problems, and I don't think it would cause much inconvenience as old talk pages will still be accessible and as we don't do anything particular with talk pages that cannot be done with message walls.

I therefore suggest that we enable the message wall functionality, and I'd like to receive some thoughts on that suggestion.
