When I was new, I thought that's how it was supposed to be done. Continuing an online discussion in places other than where it originated seemed counter-intuitive.

However, I agree with what many have said--that there is no real way to get users, especially newer ones, to follow this system if it requires the usage of a special template. If the wiki could put up an automatic notification for a user in either case--whether it was a reply to a post they made on someone else's page or a comment on their own--then I wouldn't see an issue, as everybody would be updated and could easily continue the conversation just the same. But as long as the new template is required, it will be ineffective.
