Hello,

On a wiki I manage I would like to disable the comment system so that pages have a 'traditional' talk page. The comment system seems like a very bad way to discuss issues with a page and mostly attracts spam or random comments about the subject. Couple of questions, though;

1. What happens to existing comments when the comment system is disabled?

2. Is the forum somehow tied to the comments? Will forum threads revert to a talk style page as well?

3. If, after some time, comments were to be re-enabled, what would happen to the content of talk pages?
