Hello, I have a suggestion for Wikia UCP. When I was editing a page on a Wiki that I am an administrator for, when saving the page, there was a checkbox titled "Commenting", and I didn't know what its purpose was because I hadn't seen it before. Due to this, I unchecked the box thinking it wouldn't do anything (or if I left it checked it would do something I didn't want), however, it caused the Comments Section for the page to get turned off, and I didn't piece it together that the box had something to do with it since the change was described as a Protection setting. I went to change the Protection setting of the page, and when I didn't see anything for comment protection, I was very confused, and could not figure out how to turn comments back on for the page until I remembered the Commenting box.

I feel that instead of comment protections being controlled by the "Commenting" checkbox seen when you're saving an edit, it should be controlled by the Protect menu similarly to other protections.



Essentially, I think all protections should be controlled by the protection level menu so that you won't have to open up the editor window to change comment protections and also to improve organization.
