Sure. And then...

Do I have to add the [[User:MZMcBride]] in order to trigger a notification
that I've replied? Am I expected to copy the fancy markup around some
users' signatures? Must I watch the page to get my own notifications back?
Do I intersperse my replies with the colons and break up his post? Does the
~~~~ go on its own line?

I have been editing Wikimedia wikis since 2005, 1600 edits and another 4000
since I joined WMF. I'm pretty damn familiar with wiki markup, and yet I
have close-to-no f***Ing clue on this stuff.

Clicking [Edit] to have a conversation is an *anti-feature*. It's great
that there are tens of thousands of Wikipedians who feel comfortable with
it. *I'm not one of them*.
