The anti-pattern is not the Discussion, also known as ThreadMode. It's more that the page is never converted from the discussion. Wikipedia pushes the discussion to separate pages but it's still important to have the Discussion. This is a Pattern, not Anti-Pattern.

I've renamed this page, because ThreadMode itself is a useful adoption pattern: it's only when ThreadMode is allowed to run wild that it becomes an AntiPattern. I got the name ThreadMess off Meatball Wiki, it seems to fit.
