I think that if you get the new messages message (don't really know if
changing a template triggers it) you would get it whenever the other page
changes. No matter if you only want a piece.
I think it'd be easier to extend the meassage alert for more pages so you'd
have normal watchlist plus warning watched pages that triggers it.
On the other hand there are people who asks to answer on the original page
to mantain the discussion joined. They add it to watchlist and (I guess)
don't work too bad for them or would go on with it :P
Maybe some of them can point something here?

I think the other namespaces can be included as a

to
include a Wikipedia namespace page, use {{Wikipedia:includepagename}},

the main namespace, use {{:includepagename}}. The only thing that using
{{}}
without any namespace will point to Template namespace in default.
But using this method on the main namespace, user talk namespace, it will
include the whole discussion onto the page that used.
Hmm, it might be interesting even to have a way of including *part* of
another page, specified with the #anchor notation. Then at the very
least you could have code that looked like this:
==Topic==
{{otheruser:Topic}}
:reply 1
:::reply 3
That would be interesting...especially if each time the other user
replied on their own talk page, the {{otheruser:topic}} template
detected the change, and triggered a "you have new messages" banner.
Once that was set up, the last missing piece of the puzzle would be a
way to automatically insert the ==Topic== {{otheruser:topic}} template
on your own page when messaging other users. That could even be done
with javascript if necessary.
Well! Seems feasible to me as a user. Any opnions from developers?
