Wait a minute. If there's a change to be made, [[Repair Don't Respond|you should be making a change]]. And if there's discussion to be done... shouldn't that go on the discussion page? This is especially bad to do in a "This X has examples of:" list, as it ruins the readability of the list. If not kept in check, this can lead to [[Thread Mode|entries becoming more like forum threads]]. And if that's the case, shouldn't you [[Take It to The Forums]] instead?
This kind of thing is also informally referred to as "[[Natter]]". Mind you, this is okay in
See [[About Rhetorical Questions]] for info on one of the causes of conversation in the main page. Another frequent cause is the use of YMMV items -- this is one of the big reasons why we keep them separated on the [[Your Mileage May Vary|YMMV pages]].
