The ability to write your own message on a page to share something. On this wikia, it is very well known. From giving/sharing information and giving feedback to sharing a high score There are tons of areas where one may do so however. …comments can be used for much more than just saying random crap… Yet that has not been what they have been used for primarily. In other platforms this is true, but in Comments the vast majority are not anything but that. Would you not want to be able to have your comments actually seen, rather than swallowed amidst a sea of spam? …the fact that when giving feedback to a pagel they go straight to the comments. Where they are usually swallowed or unnoticed. When people use comments, they are usually sharing some kind of information or giving feedback. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is literally not correct. We can see this by looking around at our highest traffic comment sections & most of our low-traffic ones too. Going to anywhere else makes no sense and is too complicated to the people who don't know the methods Good point! Very good point, it can be a bit too complicated. What ways do you think we could help fix that? We could use JavaScript to add something like this that would basically be a big notice providing information. Would such a thing not make things smoother? …it takes too long… That actually is a benefit, since it filters through those spam posters (which, no doubt, might attempt to just take their spam to other areas & we will be prepared to stop that). The fact that it’s so convenient is why our Comment sections are so riddled with low-quality posts; there’s no effort put into them at all. Moving them elsewhere would lead to higher quality comments in a more visible area that everyone could appreciate & that everyone could see. I’m sorry to sound argumentative, but I’m trying to assuage your concerns & find ways to help you get what you want while also allowing the Staff to actually do their job & help the Wiki. Anything, if there’s a compromise you would want of me, I am willing to work with you.
