(Obviously you can use a definition list, hidden PTV, or any > other valid way to define the PTV. Sorry. Isn't this quite complicated? Are there some benefits over something most basic and simplest like: on a recipe ratings page (Recipe-Users?): asterisk, comment, signature : * I use it. [[~Petko]] (datestamp) * I reviewed the recipe and I endorse it. [[~Pm]] (datestamp) * Excellent recipe, I used it before (now I only have the simple auth, no AuthUser, so I no longer need this recipe.) [[~Dfaure]] (datestamp) ? There is a comment capability, there are links to the profiles. A link in the recipeinfo block could be in [[Recipe]], on the same line as Discussion: [[Recipe-Talk]], [[Recipe-Users]] It is less CPU-intensive for the server than opening all profile pages to find and extract comments in PTVs. Orders of magnitude less CPU intensive. It also seems (to me) more straightforward for new users to add a comment and a voice: just go to the Recipe-Users page, and add your name. New users might not know how to add a {$:I_Use_RecipeName} PTV on their profile page, or even what a profile page is. One potential problem I see with such an implementation is that the Recipe-Users page might become another place to chat about the recipe, which it is not intended to be. Like, a user adds a negative comment, the author replies and a conversation goes on. But, we could manually move the "conversation" to the Recipe-Talk page, leaving only the first comment (the user is free to change his comment at a later moment.) Now, I may be wrong, and I may have not understood all subtleties and details. If that's the case, again, sorry.
