Feature summary:
- A parser function that takes a username and timestamp that, when used on the talk page of a wish/FA, creates a block quote of the matching support vote with an anchor, and adds "this comment has a reply here" (and perhaps the first few words of the reply) below the vote linking to the anchor
- A button next to each support vote with a comment saying "reply", which creates a section with said parser function
Use case(s):
Here is a clear example of a conversation happening on the votes page. Inevitably someone is going to say in their support comment something someone else disagrees with, and it would create a sense of unfairness if the only way to rebut it with the same visibility was to cast a support vote yourself.
Benefits:
All substantial discussion on a given wish/FA can take place on its talk page, avoiding splintered discussions between the votes and talk pages, and the talk page being more visible will encourage users to toss ideas, thus facilitating innovation.
