Let's try again.

I strongly hope article comments will remain optional. As an Admin I do not want to deal with the drama, off-topic posts, and nonsense that this feature brings to articles. It's a waste of time, especially on wikis with limited resources. Frankly Discussions and talk pages good enough resources for talking about an article's topic.

As for mobile editing. Historically it's been the worst way to edit, with desktop editors having to fix the majority of edits (in my experience). If mobile editing is going to be encouraged, I think there should be serious limits (no page creation, minor edits) and such edits should be marked as mobile edits through the History pages.

Edit: On the topic of comment features, what about blogs and comments? Is there likely to be a change here too?
