A lot of what I did and my motivation to continue on Tale of Diep in the old days of DCoW WAS the Article Comments. The messages people would leave giving praise, constructive criticism, and other related messages are one of the greatest things that inspired me to continue on in my efforts. The ease of accessibility to praising Fanon content is what I value greatly from Article Comments, and if there was a way to even just apply them to specific namespaces, I would at the very least like them there, or if thats deemed too much a hassle still, even just ToD, but since I know nothing about Wikia, it probably isn't possible. I know the main concern is wiki presentability, and I can agree that majority of comments are useless, irrelevant, and contribute nothing.

On DCoW that was not a problem, as comments served a purpose. They were easy sources of feedback on content, IDEAS, that people made and were proud of with every essence of their being. And being able to see exactly what people thought of it easily... it wasn't a chore and was very simple. Comments were monitored pretty simply there, because we were small, the community wasn't incredibly toxic (not saying here is either, but the point stands), and any bad irrelevant comments that were made could be removed with little effort, as they were far and few between, we had regulations, and I or others were active enough to be able to purge them. Maybe we were a bit lax and a few slipped through, but comments never were a massive problem at DCoW, and thats probably why I feel so adamant on them returning.

Just my take.
