I finally got it: The move of Comments  to the DISCUSSIONS format seem to take  them OUT of the WIki Databases and put somewhere else !!! Thus they will NOT be available to  WikiActitivity OR RecentChanges as they are NO LONGER a "Wiki Change" but a a "DISCUSSIONS" one ... This is a MAJOR SETBACK  for all users who want to keeo abreast with what is happening on the the Wiki at large as there is currently no wy I found to monitor Comments except on a PAGE by PAGE basis ... The  Recent Changes -=***MUST***=_  include recent Comments as well as Edits details since a lot of users gun-shy of Editing suggest corrections via Comments !!!

I can' hardly believe this was not seen / thought of when the current Comments format was moved ... Although it may have been driven to "minimize" the Wiki database size ... But until now Comments were a "live" part of the Wiki ... Also I do believe the  Special:Export shoudl offer the possibility to append the Page commnents to the XML export file ...
