How do you stop comments on articles?Paulfirmin 22:31, October 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Currently, you can not prevent comments on one article, but you can stop them on blog posts by unchecking the commenting box when you are editing your blog post. --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 18:45, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

I want to disable comments on article --Saturngod 04:06, October 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * If community decides it does not want comments on their article pages, they can be disabled by staff by sending an email to Special:contact. Best, --Sarah (Help Forum) (blog) 18:45, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

If your wiki has talk pages for every article, is it possible to change it to bottom of the page comments?  Neocarleen •  Talk  07:16, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can send a message to Special:Contact and Wikia will give you comments instead of talk pages.

Hello, I want to add a warning message to prevent abuse from people who comment on my wiki. --Vic201401 01:58, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

User talk pages
Hi, I'd like to know how can I get comments on user's talk pages? --  Team   Cullen  19:11, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Enabling comments for a particular namespace
Is it possible to enable comments for one namespace, but leave it disabled for others? I'm an admin from Anne of Green Gables Wiki and the general consensus is that we much prefer talk pages to article comments (though we have message walls enabled). But I noticed that blog posts have comments instead of talk pages. Is there a way to enable comments for a particular namespace but leave talk pages on the rest? *Ginny* leave a message 02:28, February 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, Comments can be enabled for specific namespaces by Wikia staff. Please write in to Special:Contact with the details of your request. It's good to have community consensus about this type of change, of course.

How to reply to a reply?
How do I reply to a reply to a comment? Person A made a comment, person B left a reply, how do I reply to B's statement? Banaticus (talk) 04:11, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

My main page doesn't have a comments section, how do I add one?

Advertising on this Site Sucks
Too many advertisings on this site...loads the computers down and insults our capabilities to get information. Just saying...enuf is enuf! Stop being greedy or no one will come!
 * Advertisements pay for Wikia to exist. But this isn't a suggestion for improvement to the "Help:Comments" article, so it's a concern better voiced on the forum. Thisismyrofl (talk) 04:44, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Only allowing registered users to comment
Talk Pages can be protected to only allow registered users so could you add protection capabilities to this feature please?FortressMaximus &#35;2014YearofMecha (Talk) 09:44, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

 * You can edit your own article/blog comment usually by hovering over it (in the comments section) then a small "edit" icon will appear with a pencil next to it. Click the edit text. – Ozuzanna 16:50, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Enabling replies on dpl forums?
I'm trying to format my wiki-style forums so that the thread pages include reply boxes. Is it possible to add comment boxes & functions to these pages through a template or something? KyuKyu (talk) 00:09, April 29, 2017 (UTC)

Adding a button to flag comment as inapropriate
It would be nice to have a button to be able to flag a comment to be reviewed by a moderator, with possibly a textbox to specify what's the problem, if not obvious. Aylatan (talk) 10:03, June 6, 2017 (UTC)

How can you add comments when you're on the phone?
I remembered the time when I saw someone comment that they should delete the unessesary page, but they can't edit when they're on their phone.

So, if they can comment with their phone, then WHY CAN'T I FIND OUT HOW TO ADD COMMENT WHEN USING THEIR PHONE?!??!!! I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!! DX

Nin10doGMod (talk) 00:45, June 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey - right now the only way to comment on your phone is to use the browser's "Show desktop site" - you'll be able to edit and delete comments via that. noreplyz talk 07:06, June 18, 2017 (UTC)

Post on an article
ScruffymewYTScruffymewyt (talk) I cant post on an article and Idk why. It says You cannot post on this article is it because of my account age? Plus there is alot of comments even though some were about 1 minuete ago.
 * Hey ScruffymewYT, where are you trying to post a comment? The wiki you're editing may have an abuse filter which could be preventing your comment. no replyz 00:07, December 25, 2017 (UTC)

Recent Comments
I'd like to know if you could have something like the Recent Activity list except there are recent comments since I do not get notifications for comments and there are constant updates on pages, I miss a lot of comments.

How Do I Make My Wiki Require People To Log In To Comment? For Example, When Someone Scrolls Down To The Comment Section, There Would Be No Box & Just A Message That Says Please log in to post a comment on this wiki..


 * You can't. Because you need administrator rights to modify the wiki features, and that's going to be impossible for someone that doesn't even have an account to use. You'd have to contact the administrators of that wiki on another wiki that does allow anonymous editing, though it's unlikely that they'll allow anonymous editing just because you ask them to. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 09:06, June 13, 2018 (UTC)

Cannot add comment to the article
I need help. Everytime I go to comment on a wiki, it says, "You cannot add a comment to the article." I have an Fandom account (and I believe it is verified), and I am not blocked from anywhere. Could someone explain this to me? If this can be fixed, how to fix it?
