User blog comment:NeonSpotlight/Where did comments go?/@comment-72.79.97.82-20120808181203

I personally really like having comments on the same page as the subject.

I agree with some of the suggestions made by previous posters, like maybe adding the capability to show/hide comments.

I also find the comments quite interesting in general, as you can see the way the subject has changed over time through the wiki users' eyes. Of course, you can do this kind of thing on forums. However, there's the searching for the appropriate threads which can be a pain. e.g. Forum search -> click result -> some long ass thread that briefly mentions what you were looking for on page 28 -> oh wait, no, it's just a keyword match and doesn't actually have what you were looking for. Forum search -> click result -> etc etc, so on and so on.

In contrast, a comments section for each wiki page allows for you to see comments that pertain to, well, the subject of that page. It streamlines the process of looking for wiki user input (minus trolls and spammers of course, but you get just as much of that in forums too, so that's a moot point).
