A one-liner may go here.

Here we can elaborate! --Hillgentleman|Talk 18:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps I should change "argument" to "comment".

Can there be sections within threads? --JWSchmidt 17:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Here is the point: the REVISIONTIMESTAMP is precisely for that purpose.

• Argument: BASEPAGENAME/1/1/1/1/1... can only produce a linear structure.

Originally I tried REVISIONID, which didn't work: if we substitute a revisionid, we get blank. --Hillgentleman|Talk 17:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

And try not to create your own section.

• Argument: Use the "reply link" to create a new section, or else you would create a dead end.

I mean,

• Argument:

My "A one-liner may go here" is a reply to ":I'm guessing that my comment goes here." and "Here is the point: the REVISIONTIMESTAMP is precisely for that purpose." replies "Can there be sections within treads". But that latter section was created articficailly (without pressing the "reply button") and so it hijacked the reply link to the previous comment. Or we can say, two different comments (and two different replies) were merged. That makes the questions and answers crossed. So it is a little confusing.

In short, Don't create your own section. Use the "reply" link. Once you have created a section, you are free to edit your previous comments, correct mistakes, etc.

What links here

Using the edit "button" for the new section that I started with the "external link" reply "button". --JWSchmidt 17:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

It is better to use the "edit" button only for correcting mistakes.
