Admin Forum:Article comments need to be taggable by non-admins

At first I hated the comment system. You couldn't link to them, there were lots of problems with some comments not displaying, navigating through lots of comments was painful, etc. As with most things, Wikia has slowly improved the system so that I don't hate it as much. I'm more neutral. It still has problems, but is much better for users who don't want to learn wikitext (which is sad, but it is common).

What I would still really like to see is a way for non-admins to tag comments for deletion. Comments are a great way for spammers to get stuff on your wiki that lives on until an admin notices it and deletes it. Is there something else that can be done? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 31 Jul 2011 12:31 PM Pacific


 * Wouldn't the simplest solution just be to throw a delete tag in a reply? Just put . The same is done with blog comments.--


 * Then when an admin deletes the original comment, the reply will go to if I'm correct. -- BobNewbie  ∞(Talk)∞  19:52, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's an inelegant solution, but it's probably the best we've got. This is the worst thing about article comments, it's a horrible mess that takes power away from users, and requires admins to do more work. I'd encourage admins to remove them from their wiki and use talk pages, the small learning curve there is needs to be learnt anyway, and they don't have any of the problems of Article Comments --  Random Time  20:05, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
