Help:Comments

Comments are a way to leave a quick message with your thoughts on a blog post or article page.

Article Comments is an extension enabled by default on Fandom. The comments section can be found at the bottom of article pages on most communities. It can be accessed in one click by clicking the "Comments" button. If comments are not available for a content page, you can use its talk page instead, which is located in the "Edit" dropdown. This extension can be disabled by the community's administrators via Admin Dashboard's Wiki features.

Blog Comments are a part of the Blogs feature.

Currently, only logged in users are allowed to comment.

Step-by-step

 * To add a comment, simply fill in the input box at the bottom of the page.

Effects of disabling Article Comments
After disabling Article Comments, neither the comment field nor any comments will be displayed under any article, even if the article had comments before. Disabling Article Comments will not delete already existing comments, though. They will be visible again once Article Comments are re-enabled.

Since April 2022, a sitewide restriction that bypasses the local configurations for the comment sections has been applied by Fandom, and commenting has been restricted to logged in users on all wikis. Before that, anonymous users were able to make comments, which were automatically signed as "A Fandom user", with a link to the contributions page associated with their IP.

While replying to a support request, a Fandom staff said: "Unfortunately, we do not currently allow anonymous comments due to some serious spam and vandalism issues. Only accounts that are several days old can post comments. I am hopeful we can loosen these restrictions in the future, but I can't make any specific promises right now."

Since then there has been no changes on the restriction. On January 2023, while replying to another support request, a Fandom staff said: "It is a sitewide prohibition that was very recently placed due to frequent gore spammers we've been dealing with."

Some wikis, where the spam problem were probably more prominent, may have been facing such restriction since 2021.
