Understood and doing what you described sounds good to me.

To put the above into action, I've:

FILED a new ticket for deploying Topic Containers (desktop) as a beta feature at ja.wiki: T318127
REVISED the scope of this ticket to just include de.wiki and en.wiki.

NOTE: I've also set the deployment date for the de.wiki and en.wiki deployments for this Wednesday, 21 Sep.

I was wondering why this change (which I really like!) is currently limited to article and user namespace. It is a little confusing not being able to use the same functionalities across discussions.
