Hi Chris,
thank you very much for your welcome & support. I got "my" discussion
feature work and only language definition left for manual adjustment so
far. Included at bottom of mail...
About where/how to specify discussionNS:
Chris Smith schrieb:
While a discussion namespace may work, I think you are better off
using the same name and using a different extension, perhaps .discuss
(or even _discuss.txt allowing the discussion to be accessed as a wiki
page). you would also need to think about some system to apply access
control to the discussion page.
My goals where:
1. discussion page should be accessed / used the same way as a wikipage.
But maybe there is an advantage in creating a wikipage_discuss.txt or a
wikipage.discuss?
2. I chose a separate discussion-NS to allow discussion globally. e.g.
if there is a wikipage with rules, impressum or such things, there maybe
a need to set them "read only" to users / visitors. Even though, they
may want to discuss the content. Rules e.g. ... In my personal
wiki-ethics ;o) discussion is always free to everyone, even if
contribution in some (small) parts may be reserved to @user or even
@admin. So a root-level-NS seemed convenient to me (as it obviously was
to WP as well ;o) ).
But maybe there is someone who likes to program a switch for where to
add discussNS: in front or at the end of article's $ID...?
On my part, there remains only the question if this feature is helpful
to DokuWiki's sourcecode. If yes, who will do this, if not I otherwise
try to include it a little more usefull, than directly to main.php in my
DW-installation.

Thank you very much, once more. I am proud to have completed my first
feature in php quite smooth now:

global $ID;
global $ACT;
// @todo adjust these strings for localization! Can later be placed
in lang.php.
$discussNS = 'discussion'; //root-level namespace for your wiki's
discussion
$btn_discuss = 'discuss this page'; //label your link or button
$btn_article = 'back to article'; //label link/button back to article
// check how $ID is separated
if ($conf['useslash'] == '0') {
$ns = ':';
}
else {
$ns = '/';
}
// prepare wikilink
$wikipath = wl();
// check if we aren't already in discussionNS
$idknack = explode($ns, $ID);
if (!($idknack[0] == $discussNS)) {
// determine the discussion file and link
$discussID = $discussNS.$ns.$ID;
$discussLINK = "<a href='$wikipath$discussID' class='action
discuss'>$btn_discuss</a>";
echo $discussLINK;
}
else {
// determine the back-to-article link
$articleID = substr($ID,strlen($discussNS)+1);
$articleLINK = "<a href='$wikipath$articleID' class='action
article'>$btn_article</a>";
echo $articleLINK;
}
?>
