Even in the aspects that you like about commenting, commenting fails. If the Wiki does not convey something appropriately so that you understand it, you should be improving your comprehension or the Wiki itself should get better at stating facts.

Your needs would be better served by a small chat interface on the page, or, you know, searching for answers yourself without leaving comments around at your own convenience.

No page should have 5000 comments. How many of them are constructive? Maybe 10.
