As a Gamepedia user, it would be really helpful to have a very simple way to add a comments/discussion section to pages and then have a page that lists those comments in recent descending order, preferably with categories (or something to that effect).

Of course, that's basically a forum, but just mentioning the specific use we would want:

Many games have different characters you can play or battle against, sometimes a few, sometimes hundreds. Having an easy to use comment section allows for viewers to immediately ask questions/give advice (or read previous questions/advice) on that character without leaving that character's page to go find the proper forum category (if they even know about the forum).

Having a summary page that collates those comments in a single list helps other viewers quickly see what's new to be able to answer questions/add to discussion without checking a hundred+ individual pages, which would never happen and thus kill discussion. (And checking the Wiki Recent Changes and trying to filter for just comments is too involved for the majority.)

And the secondary aspect of this...If we can get casual viewers involved in using the Wiki by ease of adding comments, it makes them part of the community and that's one step closer to getting them involved by editing pages, which is a big hurdle so any help is great.
